Crucio Siege Tank – Terran Unit

January 8th, 2009

This hardcore tank is a massive improvement on the original Arclite Seige Tank that was feared for its explosive firepower and devastation in Starcraft 1. There are two new functions that they designed into the Crucio – the mobile assault mode and the deployed siege mode. Destruction and defense? Great!

The Crucio is compact, ready for rough terrain and destruction of enemy forces. The huge shock cannon will decimate the Zerg swarms.

The Crucio makes up for the fallibility in the older Arclite tank that needed many of its fellows to follow it into battle in order to get anywhere. The defense of the armored tank is still superb.

At close range an enemy attack would simply rip the old Arclite tanks to bits. The guns were useless at close range. Now in Starcraft 2 we have the Crucio. The guns make up most of the new tank and from the brief look at screenshots you’d only need a couple to cause massive devastation.

There are turrets featured on the Crucio now and they come with an upgrade into assault mode. This means that when you’re stranded without cover a horde of Zerg cannot simply rush in and in two thwacks your tank is scrap metal.

It will be better defended and able to keep such attacks from destroying your carefully created convoy. The new tank will cost more to create but we don’t mind with all those new features.

In this clip the Crucio does damage to a pack of excited marines. It blows them all to smithereens until the last coward bolts, to die on the escape. Haha!
