Zerg civilization?

[cooldude1128]

I was wondering if somebody might be able to make a Zerg mod. I did a few google searches trying to hunt down a 'swarmish alien bug civ' mod to no avail. Really, it doesn't have to be the zerg, just a swarm race that had a unique unit whose benefit would be the ability to essentially spam them everywhere, though being weaker. Does such a thing exist?

You could make one if you like. What you are essentially asking for is a civ, which has unique units and those units has lower production and lower combat stats. All that can be done fairly simple in XML.

I think such a concept would be quite hard to balance well. Star Craft is fairly unique in the sense that all "civ"s are very different, yet well balanced. When you make a different civ, which has to have the same chance of winning the game as a standard one, then you have to consider a whole lot of aspects. Even if combat itself is balanced, then what about unit healing and upkeep?

I believe converting models from starcraft is possible. Though rather agitating and time consuming. Not to mention their models use way too many vertices to be practical.
