I don't mean this in a condescending way, but your definition of "zerg rush" is incorrect. The idea behind a true zerg rush is to attack your enemy before he has a single offensive or defensive unit/structure in place.

The attack described in the Halo Wars article would more accurately be described as a timing push, where you choose the perfect moment to attack: when you are strongest and your opponent is weakest. If you remove those from the game, then you don't have much of a game at all. Every match would be both players picking their noses for 20 minutes until they get the same late-game units (scorpions in this case, apparently), throwing them at each other, and then somebody wins. Sounds shallow and repetitive to me.
