The Hive Queen

One big difference is that she no longer is mutated from Larva, but is birthed directly from the Hatchery. She also relieves the Drones of mutating into Creep Colonies, and simply lays eggs that does the same, including the automated defence buildings of the Zerg who now can attack both land and air.

There is a debate whether or not she has turned into a "Hero" unit, like in WarCraft III, and there are certain similarities...

• ... that the Starbase unit/building was removed 29th of September as being an upgrade from Starport that could create units in transit?
• ... that a Terran Munitions Depot is needed to build the gigantic Thor? However, Thor is too big to be built in a Factory, so Thors are instead built by SCVs.
• ... that the Armory is one of the main upgrading building for Terran mechanical units? It is also a prerequisite to build a Munitions Depot.
• ... that an Engineering Bay is as good at flying in StarCraft II as in the original game? It is also a requirement to be able to upgrade your dear Marines.
• ... that a Radar Tower only takes 9 seconds to make from a Sensor Tower, and reveals enemy units far away?
• ... that a Sensor Tower is one of few ways to detect cloaked units such as the Terran Ghost or Protoss Dark Templar?
• ... that the Terran Nomad is the nearest equivalence of the original game's Science Vessel, and can instantly repair a big chunk of damage on a mechanical unit?
• ... that the Carrier is back in StarCraft II after much uncertainty, as the mega-ship of the Protoss (perhaps after the Mothership?).
