Well, there's actually a way to generate permanent creep and therefore create the Highway of Creep.

Queens can use their Creep Tumor ability to cover the ground in creep at the cost of 25 energy.
The creep generated by a Creep Tumor is permanent and you can obviously place another Creep Tumor on the edge of the newly created creep.

There you go, you have your Highway of Creep, please drive safely and look out for the Zerglings!

They currently cost 25 energy and they are casted by the Queen.

The range of a Creep Tumor is comparable to SC1’s Creep Colony radius. They’re spawned just like buildings, they also have a rather short building time (15 secs) .

The Queen places a Creep Tumor and then she can move freely (or place another Creep Tumor). Once the Creep Tumor is ready it starts spawning creep.

No cooldown as long as you have the required 25 energy, no minerals needed.

You can kill the Creep Tumor and then the creep will start to fade away normally.

You can place a Creep Tumor only on existing creep.

The Creep Tumor is burrowed and has very few HP.

Wait so you could potentially block expansions or do I misunderstand?

Potentially, yes, but it would involve building a highway of creep from your base to the expo, which would take a lot of energy from a Queen that could otherwise be spawning you extra larva! Besides, an enemy can easily destroy the one or two Creep Tumors blocking it and wait for the Creep to recede.

Yep, you could do that. But note that the Queen is much slower off Creep than on it. But hey, Overlords are pretty slow, too, so you'd be waiting for that anyway.

Yup, Overlords can transport units after they've gotten the Transport Upgrade. In fact, I don't think Overseers can transport units at all.

i think overseers will because overlord can't have speed upgrade because blizzard make the overseers is a speed ovi and overlord is a slow ovi. So slow ovi drop suck, will we be force to use only nydus worm

lol I can imagine a slow overlord drop. It would be like "You have underestimated my element of... SURPRISE! ... okay, maybe I spoke too soon..."
