When I saw Blizzard reveal some concepts for Heart of the Swarm, the new infested bunker unit for the Zerg looked friggen cool... So I decided to make its big brother, the Infested Planetary Fortress.

...Wow. Come to think of it, infestation could have seen WAY more use in Heart of the Swarm. They could have put Stukov in charge of a whole little army made purely out of infested things. Infested Bunkers, infested planetary for...well, THIS, infested banshees....
That's what I want to see now that Blizzard is talking about making little micro content packs like the upcoming Nova one; give us a pack involving Stukov going out and making an infested army-he doesn't get to morph anything, just use abilities to turn enemy Terran units into infested allies.

Dude you totally called the Stukov commander two years in advance.

Hmm, my comments predict starcraft future. Ahem. We shall get a minicampaign for Niadra, the Broodmother from that Heart of the Swarm infiltration mission that was sent to infiltrate the Protoss mothership and after being cut off from Kerrigan interpreted her orders as a command to destroy ALL the Protoss, who has since come up with a heavily stealth and/or psionic brood of her own, and is now moving on outlying Protoss colonies, incidentally causing problems for colonies full of shiny new upgraded Dark Templar/Purifier units, and/or being confused by running into a Protoss cult that worships the 'Queen of Blades' as a new Xel'Naga-since you know one of the guys who saw that last battle spread some crazy stories to that effect. This will happen....a year from now. Approximately two days before Starcraft III comes out.
You heard me, Blizzard! Hop to it!

Dude, you just spoke a large part of a Fanfic I'm working on. That's crazy, also, thank you, your words are inspiring.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm. Well, great minds think alike!
Yeah, no doubt there were some devout Protoss Xel'naga worshippers that hated the Queen of Blades who are now...very, VERY confused. Talk about mixed feelings.
Hope to see your fanfic!

First chapter is up. It's not much, but it's a start. The next will truly be the first, and that's when things get fun. Will be awhile though.

No minicampaign yet, but she does appear in a comic series attacking some Terrans trying to loot a mining colony (and some Protoss attacking the Terrans for breaking the truce). Still doesn't like Protoss, either.

This is actually like the lore for the current infested marines. The idea for them is that the infestation creates a symbiotic organism made to use the technology as a base to build on top of, which allows the small amount of biomass in a human to be enough for a lethal zerg organism. Personally, I thing that the projectiles fired from the infested gauss rifles are dissolved parts of the suit that got replaced with the organic shell. The only in game advantage the infested marines have is health regeneration, with all the disadvantages being explained as a result of a bad hive mind connection and constant resisting of the victim. An infested structure would not have that problem, and to make it, the zerg would have to make a strain capable of correctly connecting with machines, which requires that the same strain could grow over a bunker with a strike turret. Even better, infested hellbats, SCVs, and thors would be made available, with the only adjustment being a growth layout to put the parts in place. Infested SCVs would be a LOT faster than usual, with the possibility of actual flight. That would open cliff mining, and with the fortress being mobile you could mine from a cliff without the need for buildable space. Also, the thrusters on the fortress from the command center are still there, so a cliff jump would be reasonable to have. Perhaps to get the infested fortress you could need an infested SCV rearrange the internal parts to fit the organism's layout, with unusable machinery being dissolved for the regenerating carapace.

"Fused in unholy union of flesh and metal" Sounds just like the DooM 4 teaser.
