Even though I get your blog, it just seems like a mix of whine about lacking features and reflection on science. A few examples like yours which doesn't make sense, but if they were implemented would be game breaking. Flying CC Reaper D8 Burrow Also, medics heal units in bunkers. (campaign) Those comics cracked me up. | ||

Oh yes. The Reaper D-8 is one of those odd things. Why it must be used only against buildings... | ||

(SC1): Scourges cannot attack ground units. I don't see why not, really. If it can charge and collide with an air unit, I don't see why they cannot dive at a ground unit. Obviously, if they could, Zerg would be totally overpowered (make scourges -> snipe CC/nexus), but it's so arbitrary that they can't do that. Scourge can only breathe at a certain altitude, if they get too low they faint and become useless. | ||

Attacking ground and self destruct were both possible for all units. TA was a fun game. Scourge can only breathe at a certain altitude, if they get too low they faint and become useless. And their lungs develop rapidly as they hatch from their ground based eggs, lol I do get frustrated with lore vs. game abilities though. I read a starcraft book once, and it made me so mad because a ghost took some stim packs and used them, and then dropped 3 nukes at once. Also, all the marines had coffee cups that generated coffee automatically when you added water! I mean come on, that's like free stim packs! | ||
