我想，我们中大多数人都关心的一个问题就是，虫族什么时候能被造好（公布）？
很多人猜测要在11月，因为一直以来的模式是这样的。 （它就像一个三个月的循环，即先是人族，然后是神族）
对虫族的更新，我现在已经渐渐失去好奇心了。
有谁知道，它将与什么时候公布？
Cavez 回应:
我们将尽快将虫族公布于众。我们并不是有意保密，只是设计它的工作还没有完成。早在游戏还没有对外宣布之前，我们就已经着手人族和神族的设计工作（也就是说，设计一个种族的时间远比我们看到的3个月要多的多）。
我们并不是在建造一个埃非尔铁塔，但我们不会因此而等待下一个blizzcon（此句好象是一个隐寓）。 我们很高兴地把东西列于网上，给大家看。对于虫族来说，还没有一件十分有轰动意义的事情发布，虽然这个种族的宣布会是一个很大的乐趣.。

以下是Karune为新截图虫族单位作出解释[召唤翻译ing..]
Karune has answered a couple questions on the Baneling, bringing us that much closer to understanding this deadly new Zerg unit.
If you are referring to the blobs of green in the first screenshot, those are the exploded corpses of the Banelings. Those creatures are currently quite the melee killers in StarCraft II.

In another thread, one battlenet forumer discussed why a 'Baneling Drop' could be very devastating. Here's what
Karune replied:
You are absolutely correct, this is one of the best economy raiding strategies at the moment for Zerg. If you can get some Banelings into the enemy's peon line, you can significantly stifle their economy, as well as force them into a defensive minded mentality. Nonetheless, there are counters to this, such as if you are playing Terrans, you can upgrade your Command Center to a Planetary Fortress, thus defending your economy from light raids. Luckily, those Banelings have very little hit points, and are easy to kill with ranged weapons.
You know, despite hating them initially, I've actually warmed up to Banelings pretty quickly
. I've always thought of Zerg as 'frail, but deadly if they can get into melee range', and Banelings certainly fit that bill :]. Plus, they're technically a melee unit, so between them, the Zergling, and the Ultralisk, we could be seeing three feared melee units for Zerg in SC2, which makes me a happy chappy as I'm a big fan of that

Another forumer asked if the Baneling's attack damaged friendly units. Here's what
Karune had to say:
Currently, the Banelings' attack does not harm friendly units, adding to their deadliness. This of course may be subject to change in the future to maintain balance.
I hope that lack of friendly fire with Banelings makes its way into the final version of the game

Finally, in response to large amounts of fan disapproval with the 'overly colourful' look of SC2,
Karune said:
I think you can expect changes. How much and how huge those changes are will be a matter of opinion. The team has heard some feedback from the community that is concerned that the look of SC2 is too "colorful" and that more "realistic" color choices would be more in keeping with the original StarCraft. We saw a lot of these types of posts early on after we made the announcement. I just spoke to Sam Didier (our Art Director) about this issue and he tells me that in order to make the units read well we have added A LOT of team color which really blows the units out and makes them look super-colored especially with the brighter colors (red, blue). The art team plans to take one or more passes over all the units in the game to try to balance out team color so it still works for game play but looks less bright and more in keeping with the original StarCraft. Changes to the over-all look to the game are always an option and the team is always tuning and trying to balance out the look of the game.
I currently love the way SC2 looks at the moment, so I'm scared it'll look worse if they change its look. That said, who knows? It might look even better, but I really like the way it looks right now :
