Possibly having Zagara raid Terran archives for political theory to make an actual government structure for the Zerg instead of it being a not-quite eusocial telepathic network of whoever's able to browbeat everyone else into following orders. Wild emotional swings screwing her over in combat wasn't supposed to be a failure mode to come up because there weren't supposed to be any enemies, it was utterly rotten luck that the Protoss had a research outpost there.Д«etween those research posts, attempts at field testing, and the plug-and-play nature of such variations, Zagara could fairly easily saturate the Broodmothers with these emotional responses to pull the Swarm back together with, as stated previously, familial affection, leading to a feudal organization mainly along generational lines. And having it inherited because for all it's a work in progress, Nafash was meant to just sit in a frozen hellhole until she got comfortable. Which then backtracked to Zagara getting that somewhat emotionally compromised but strategically-viable modification before the Second Brood War, to her intense dislike as a ruthless pragmatist, causing the whole Overqueen thing to become a matter of Zagara getting the Zerg's shit together before Kerrigan really even gets her boots on. So rather than Kerrigan having a vague implication of revenge for the death of a Broodmother sent to just deal with a hostile environment she wasn't aware had Protoss on it, why not have Abathur's tangled mess of trying to guess at Kerrigan's goal lead to Zagara snapping and making the situation a clusterfuck Kerrigan had to make sure to remove witnesses to? Makes the whole mess with Niadra a giant tragedy of miscommunication, rather than violating character arcs. Click to shrink.The idea started with trying to justify Niadra's creation because Kerrigan was supposed to have moved on from the routine murderfucking, and I realized that she had fuck-all specification for what she wanted Abathur to do to Zagara.

Niadra legacy of the void
