Today I was playing a very long phantom game (over 2 hours). Everyone was bored, so I figured to try something weird. This is what I discovered: If you have a hydralisk and a stalker attacking each other (they have to be initially out of range from each other and be allowed to approach each other), on creep, both fully upgraded (but blink is not used), then the hydra and the stalker will die AT THE SAME TIME! That's right. They will both shoot their last missile and kill each other.   | ||

You should try this with a marauder and see if we've all been tricked into thinking there are three unique races. | ||

(range still important though )You might be right. But I only tried when they are fully upgraded (yes including range for hydra). | ||

Okay I had a look at the chart and it totally feels like marauder - stalker could be a stalemate. Health/ DPS-1 (armor) = take ~13,5 seconds to finish each other. No way marauder beats Hydra without stim, with stim it seems quite close however. Oh yeah, Hydra gets 7 range? Hydra wins. E. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=138141 | ||

Hydra survives with 12 hp left or so which is kinda sad when hydra costs 2x as much gas, and doesn't have 20 DPS to armored units | ||
