Egon Stetmann (Co-op Missions)

"I’ve been called a freedom fighter. A whistle blower. A fugitive. Some have even labeled me a hero. But they’re wrong. Because I’m a GENIUS too! A hero genius! A henius!"

- Egon Stetmann

Egon Stetmann is a commander for Co-op Missions, who commands the Mecha Swarm against his enemies. He commands legions of robotic zerg with special abilities, supported by his best friend Gary.

Stetmann can spread stetellites across the map, with create power fields that can empower both Stetmann’s forces and his ally’s. These fields create “stetzones” that can recharge energy, heal, or grant a speed boost. Gary can overcharge these stetellites to grant a larger bonus to the Mecha Swarm. Gary serves as a hero support unit, able to bring combat and supporting abilities to Stetmann’s forces, but is not as powerful as other commander heroes as an individual unit.

Talent Progression
Stetmann acquires the following talents as he levels up:

Strategies
The FAST Stetzone provides movement speed to workers, thus placing stetellites over an allies worker provides a boost to their early economy.

Development
Stetmann’s commander identity was conceived out of the popularity of the Simulant skinset for zerg. When the team deliberated on what commander could represent them, Stetmann was decided upon, as the character already had a special relationship with the team due to their development of him in “Mist Opportunities.” The team wanted to make a character that blended zerg potential and protoss technology, with a dose of terran ingenuity, to adapt Stetmann’s ability to research protoss and zerg technology. For this, the stetzone mechanic was created as a means to create complexity while fulfilling the fantasy of both Stetmann and the Mecha Swarm.

Tooltips on the mecha spire refer to Stetmann being able to spawn mecha mutalisks, and mecha mutalisks show up in his commander trailer. Data in the Galaxy Map Editor exists for a mecha roach warren.

Trivia

 * Stetmann has unique dialogue on the map "Mist Opportunities," changing the dialogue for both himself and the allied commander.
