You all know about the Uberlisk that was shown the Demonstration of the Starcraft 2 Editor, well after seeing that I decided the moment I got my hands on the editor I would make an Uber unit of my own. And in my case, I chose to do the battle cruiser
This is a youtube video of the first Uber Cruiser I made back when the editor was released for Beta.
This is the Uber Cruiser I made yesterday after better understanding the workings of the editor.
It was alot more fun than I had expected, so I decided that this degree of ridiculousness needs to be shared. I'm sure theres a great deal of you out there that during one time working with the editor you've put together an insanely ridiculously super powered unit just for the sake of messing around and having fun. Well come on down and share your creations here, I'll list your content on the opening post so everyone can witness what happens when a Starcraft 2 Map Editor has far too much time on their hands XD
If you don't know how to make one or simply don't have time to make one on your own then describe your uber creation here, I'll see if I can make it and credit you for the idea.
So let the ridiculousness commence, whether it's thors riding on motherships or marauders firing nuclear exploding zerglings, bring the insanity here so everyone can enjoy a good chuckle and also roll their eyes at the amount of spare we must have to come up with these things.
Also props to anyone who can make videos of these uber's before I get to them:
Carrier that launchers carriers that launch void rays, that launch phoenix's that launcher intercepters which drop thors that fire banelings that explode like nukes X.X
Goliath with several floating gun turrets that fire bullets, lasers, and missiles.
A thor with a Death Star Laser that fires from it's Back Cannons.
An infestor...... that infests EVERYTHING!!!!!! MUAHAHAHA
List of Videos:
Me:
Uber Cruiser 1.0
Uber Cruiser 2.0
Tower of Tank
Nickling (Made with my friend Nick, wanted to make it leap to targets, but didn't have time to figure out how)
Mephs11
Fractalisk
can someone tell me what the Fract just happened here?
BorgDragon
Hulking Horror
Uberlisk nothing, This is the uber zerg should have. Or at least for the zerg's "infestation" division.
I'm actually a bit disappointed that my monstrosity of a computer slowed down during the recording, gave it a serious beating afterwards. Though it's mostly because my system hasn't been overclocked in the least and I had the editor up at the same time.
At any rate I'm also upset that no matter how much checking I did the yamato blast didn't fire from the correct spot, I wanted to fix it before I released the video but I figured it was hardly noticeable and I wanted to get this video out within a couple hours. It's a simple little thing and I just wanted to do something that looked neat and gave people high hopes on whats capable with the editor.
I know i was bored once. I then made the Nuke Lords and Nukelings.
Yes, broodlords that fire their ordinary weapons, but instead of broodlings spawning, mushrooms spawn. nuclear mushroom.
And nukelings... Little, green rolly polly zergy bugs that go KA-F*CKING-BOOM! aka explode nuclear style
I also made a hero, and i wanted an ultimate ability. So i thought... And then "killing spree" from WoW came to mind, and i tried remaking it. Of course, 5 hits wasn't enough obviously, so i upped it to 70 hits over 3 seconds. The results were brutal. I even added a second level to the ability which... which... Words can't describe such ownage.
I can get vids of those if you want.
and on simply overpowered stuff... another hero had an ability (still has, but heavily nerfed) that would apply a behavior to all units in a radius of 4 around target spot. The behavior would last 10 seconds, and when it ran out, it would create an explosion with a radius of 2 and some pretty decent damage. Sounds innocent enough. Wait till you see 10 balled up zealots and an archon run through, get kited for 10 seconds and then blasted back to shakuras. That ability has been hit by the nerfhammer harder than yo mommaship. now it's a radius of 1, explosion radius of 1 and the damage is rather crappy.
Then i also have the un-nerfed mommaship in one of my maps (melee-ish map. MS has 1.5k shields+health, can load up units and the units can fire from inside. Loading space is about 10 stalkers. Plus the ability that slows down time, vortex, mass recall, and wormhole transit. Good luck killing that.
Added a Tower of Tanks to the list, Not really uber, at least not yet. Though I figure it was ridiculous enough. If I had more time I would have made them do some insane stuff.
A new uber has arrived, but don't be confused it is not the tank. No my friends, the uber if far more frightening than the tank, the Uber that has arrived is a Thunderbolt.
The Uberbolt that fires from the contained husk of the Zues tank, will zap a target, feed off of it's essence and recreate itself, and then splits off and hits another two targets, where it repeats it's terrifying process.
Irony that such a species dies from an essence with a hunger similar to it's own. I only wish that the scientists who created this monstrous weapon don't end up destroying themselves in it's development!
Dang, I was hoping this thread would be more popular, are you guys seriously telling me you would rather be productive than spend time making pointless super units?
Oh well, was fun while it lasted, time to continue on my map.
Anyway, the Battlecreuzer is awesome - but honestly Zues sucks.
He might be killing stuff real quick, but it just isn't anywhere as uber or epic as the battlecruiser.
Yeah I agree, the other's I made aren't as epic so much as they were just thrown together, most of those were in development before I even made the Uber Cruiser 2.0. I did try to make the Uber Carrier, but it doesn't function as fluidly as I thought it would.in theory, I got it to work but I couldn't get it to look visually appealing.
i got an idea if youre up for making it: An infestor (or other zerg unit. Actually, use the fatty model) that has an attack that picks 1 of 8 effects randomly from a set effect, each effect is a launch missile that spawns a zerg unit on impact (like the broodlord attack. It'd spawn banelings, zerglings, roaches, hydras, infestors, queens, ultras and drones. Actually, i think maybe you should replace ultra and drone with additional banelings or maybe some broodlings)
Have it have an attack speed of 0.25 or 0.3 or 0.5 (whichever looks the best)

ModeratorsThat's actually really cool, nice job.

I like how you have beams connecting the four pylon parts to the main cannon for the yamato blast
@SouLCarveRR: Go
That was my favorite part to work on, It was really annoying, I owe alot of credit to ProzaicMuze and his Tutorial for Attachments
http://forums.sc2mapster.com/resources/tutorials/8926-data-working-with-attachments-beginner-difficulty/
I had the idea in my head, "I am going to make some kind of death star laser, I don't care if I get sued by Lucas, I SHALL DEATH STAR LAZOR!!!!"
The rotation thing is really nice.
Now we have Uber Cruiser, grab that Carrier that shoots carrier and Uberlisk and we will get Command & Conquer
lol, nice cruiser!!!

I really like the effects you got going here. Very nicely done! :)
I think we need to have a "Super Unit" contest where people make crazy units like this. Would be a lot of fun and we'd see some really neat stuff.
It's a shame the sides of the Pylons are golden, cuz the crystal on it looked really well on the cruiser, nice work! :)
@Zackreaver: Go
lol that tower of tanks, I have thought of trying such ridiculous thing with marine head to toes ... Stacking unit seems to make good turret animation
@ZarafFaraz: Go
The contest prize will be the Golden Terra-tron trophy of Terrorizing.
A new Uber is approaching... It will be here in about an hour. (Thats how long the youtube video upload takes)
A new uber has arrived, but don't be confused it is not the tank. No my friends, the uber if far more frightening than the tank, the Uber that has arrived is a Thunderbolt.

I could've sworn I posted here before...

Well if anyone is interested in referencing what I did, I uploaded the map so everyone can look into it and use it for their own educational purposes.
Whoa, found an Uber while surfing on youtube. Posting a video and crediting the author.
i got an idea if youre up for making it: An infestor (or other zerg unit.
