Well, that's not hard to explain.
See, they have a Hive mind, but to increase their cordination and just efficiency, they have some kinnd of "organs", aka "Cerebrares" developed to cordinate other kinds of zerg... and see, one of these cerebrares must have mutated into Overmind, the most powerful cerebrare ever!
 
Tleno, learn your lore. Its well known that Overmind was created by the Xel'naga.

Exactly why its confusing. I mean without cerebrates, overmind and overlords they couldnt survive, but now one human mind with the help of overlords has the power to control stuff! How can that even be? How can one human mind replace the Overmind and dozen Cerebrates?
 
erm as far as I recall, Xel'nagas didn't create overmind. They only created the zerg liveforms that could absorb the whole eco-system, creating new species, and overmind was developed during all this zerg evolution...
Erm Overlords are just some kind of, you know, radio towers, they just are a link between the more powerful beeings and zerg on battlefield. Like communication towers.
And Kerrigan... I'm sure she had a psionic link with something more powerful... not sure what exactly...

EDIT: Dark Voice, duh.
 
By wiki:
The Overmind was a brain-like entity of indeterminate age. It was created by the xel'naga on the zerg homeworld of Zerus to bring order to the zerg and guide them into merging with the protoss
You know you are rusty at this. And zerg existed (at that time just larva nothing big yet) before just like protoss but Xel'naga changed them. Also remember that without overmind and any control zerg are nothing more than animals.
 
Nah. I mean, UED is not completely destroyed. Earth is fine, right? I hope they'll have a revolution and a more zealous and aggresive leader named Harrosh Starscream would take over the lead and would go BC rush on all alien races in Korpluru sector. Then a giant space cow would jump in and erradicate an entire sector with lava milk.

Man that would be a great story.
 
Actually Misha, Kerrigan eradicated only the UED Expeditionary Fleet. And it is nothing compared to the full power of the United Earth Directorate.
After the Expeditionary Fleet's failure they lost the interest in Koprulu Sector... for now.
But if they decided to take action against the Swarm or the Hybrids, with the beginning oft he Second Great War... all'd be screwed.

Oh and seeing the UED remnants would be fun... I mean Spartan Company is something, but cant call it interesting as part of UED remnant story.
 
Yes. I updated it yesterday and going to continue workin on it today. Currently it's named Nation Builder ALPHA v2 on EU. It has all the basic functions and... current version doesn't need any testing, since most of what already has been made already was tested, but I'll be glad to have someone test the upcomming versions.
 
The map is prefect and the building are very good. The units are good.
I will see forward your map.
I got some ideas:
Rebels: A small group which are agaist all nations. If you deal with them (by destroying their HQ-tent) , you get bouns: 300-600 Money or some Hostiles to escort back to the goverment so you will get some free and training for units only from Academy. (I recommend three or two (one at early gameplay)
Add sandbags: 25 or 35 money for each. They block light ground units but vehicles can smash them or open a hole that's allows smaller units get in.
Add helicopters: I think about 175 money for each? Just a regular helicopter.
 
Terrans in SCII were cool =P

However HotS makes me cry. When I look at it I see absolutely no similarity ot the good old Swarm of SC. Bitch Queen, some Brood Mothers who look kinda cool, but are to me just wrong. I miss the good old cerebrates. They had a style! And Overmind... he was so awesome. I miss the Overmind D=
And I miss my good old buddies Zasz and other cerebrates.

Not to mention that it seems that Blizzard is practically ignoring Brood War >>

Also, the zerg heroes are killing me. Abathur dude who is the gene libraryand creates new zerg - where'd that idea come from? All the zerg strains are contained in every zerg and larva. And cerebrates were tasked with creating new strains. Not to mention the zerg adjutant.
 
Well, it seems that this could be caused by Kerrigan (Those damn women!) becomming a new leader of swarm. See, some infested woman definetly can't be as good with developing new strains as some super brain blobs, and the evolution developing role gap was, pretty much, filled by some new strain of zerg like this appearing.
