scv and drone cant be broodlinged.. i think, right?

Broodlings excite me in ways nipple modification never can!
Too bad nobody uses the spell  I wish zerg players would use the queen
|
Yes they can be, I remember when sc was very new and me vs my friend he broodlinged my scvs

hehe i was looking at old threads and just decided to reply on this one, thus bumping it from the past by saying "poor queen," making others aware of this thread and replying to it, therefore successfully restoring it ^.^

Archons can't be broodlinged because they are extraplanar. (That means they're on another plane of existance)

It says they have a physical form, psionic entity of pure rage or not, they should be vulnerable to broodlings It also says they hover over the ground, which is why they don't set off mines. But they can't hover over water cuz they're afraid of it.
Aliens are weird ^^
Edit: I guess they could be pure energy, which would have a phsyical form (like ball lightning), yet it's not really living so the parasites couldn't feed on it and then it does make sense :/

I wanna be an archon in WoS (World of Starcraft) -_-;;

if they could hover, why can't they go through cliffs?

lol try to brood an archon, as rK says you cant broodling psionic organisms.
it says "cant broodling mechanical or psionic organisms"
tried it yesterday, think i was aiming for ht and misclicked

i think the real question is "why dont larvea die when i irradiate them".

Their genetic makeup is still in it's base form, which is less vulnerable to toxic substances. Or, the shell is leet. I want larvae armor on all my units ^^v

hmm...I don't really see broodlings being used very often, usually when I see queen's it's ensare
|
units like workers, archons and vultures hover, not fly or half fly.

why isnt this topic closed? the guy who fucking started it could have just tried it his damn self

Broodling'ing an scv surrounded by 4000 enemy tanks, therefore killing all living organisms near it.
It's surprising nobody never use that to harass T mining. It sounds like a very effective and costless tactic to kill a bunch of SCV.

for the same reason cockroaches are the only living being that can survive a nuclear attack perhaps? o_O

Very much *yes*, actually, *anything* works on an SCV, it's like the opposite of the archons, which is completely strange cause in this case you don't got the "higher being" or "livin in a different plane of reality" (<-- wtf who said that? o_O lol.)
Lockdown works on any mechanical unit,
Maelstrom is the opposite, which works only on biological units.
Both work on a SCV.
SCV can repair any mechanic unit,
Medics can heal any ground bio unit,
Both work on SCV 
SCV doesn't auto attack from inside the bunker for some strange reason
And the part i still dont get is how come I can repair enemy air units
I mean, ok, so lets say we're talkin about an allied air unit, so I dunno, the SCV told it to "land" or "come lower" so it can repair it ok.. o_O
but like, if I'm repairing an enemy air unit, supposingly, I can attack it right away, before it "lifts off" again or so
that's just silly :X

I think broodlinging larveas is most fun
Ever tried brooling a broodling? ;D

Btw, don't listen to that battle.net/scc site, someone here quoted somethin about archons from there, that site says alot of bullshit (tho it also tells alot of important stuff really :O)
but it still says there a cannon costs 200 o_O
and that EMP would effect a unit which is stasis celled
btw if we're already on the subject, if you Stasis Cell a broodling, it's "energy" (life energy, you know what i mean) would keep on dropping, and basically, it'll just die before stasis lifts
