Gorge passive ability

<div class="IPBDescription">Make gorge act like a commander cyst</div>I've noticed that its pretty common for a gorge to build a forward attack base (hydra spam) when trying to take a position. This results in the gorge having to tend to their "garden" by healing it all the time. I think it would be better if the gorge just acted like a mobile cyst so that anything hes near even if its not on infestation will still act like it is. This would also make a gorge more crucial in early game as he can expand the commanders reach with cysts (stand near a res node) and tend to these areas until a commander bridges the cysts to him.

TLDR:
Make gorge act like a mobile cyst so he doesnt have to heal spam things he builds on mini-cyst patches.

    I like this idea, but if marine commanders still have a buildrange around marines, doesn't it similarize the teams further? ok, it's a life form change there, but the baseline mechanic feels the same.

    Would be nice to see withering infestation in the wake of gorges, though.

    Marine: "I think some gorges passed through here recently"
    Commander: "S&D" (search & destroy)
