There is a kind of map I really, really want to make but I'm not that experienced with the editor.
I got inspired by the HOTS map were you start as a larva, then consume biomass and continue to evolve.
I Think a 1 player or 4 player map once the mechanics are in would be alot of fun since the new expansion added ALOT of new zerg models.
I've tried a bit and so, I can do the map and placement and balance that is needed later. But triggers, abilitys and specific things go right past over my head.
I think this idea has alot of potential, enviorment would be zerg homeworld zerus jungle and then on from there. Jungle < desert < ice. ect.
Starting as a weak larva in a big world, you have to hide, burrow and move about carefully in this world of beasts. You exploit being small in the beginning. Then you find something you can finally kill, eat and evolv into. Like each form has upgrades. For example, if you first start as a Larva, then evolve like this: Larva < Swarm queen larva < (if possible) Primal larva. Then you get the option to infest a larger creature, consume it and its essence, then evolve into it.
As a larva you would hunt small lava beatles and such neutral creatures. Then start growing and killing larger and larger. Evolving more and more into the ultimate creature. There are tons of paths you could probably set and go into. Like the models for the "Bosses" in the "Supreme" misson are atleast three ultimate evolves. Zurvan would be cool as last boss or quest giver. I don't think it is possible to play as him since the model is fused with the ground.
I have soooo much details in my head for this to work. But I'm to inexperienced to create this myself. Hope this sparks some people to try, I'd love to play something like this.

Could be a zerg side story ;D haha.
