Broodling works on any non-robotic ground units. Reason: The Broodlings take control of their "hosts", and in the tank's case, the tank's driver, and therefore they kill it A reaver, a robotic unit, has no mind and so it can't be taken control of by a parasite, see? There are 4 robotics units in the game: Observer, Shuttle, Probe and Reaver Since Observer and Shuttle aren't ground units it's obvious you can't broodling these. Probe and Reaver are *supposingly* the only two ground units you can't broodling - but there are another 2 - the Archon and the Dark Archon - I guess, in a way, they're a special entity, they don't count as anything, they're not organic (irradiate or maelstrom wont effect them) nor mechanic (lockdown wont either) and they're half-flyers so they don't even set off mines.. Anyway, those are the only 4 ground units that you can't broodling | ||

that logic doesn't make sense becaues a zergling can attack an archon, and zerglings can only attack land. | ||

Yeah, or Scourge egg. Funny thing - your Queen gets a kill no matter what she broodlings, if it's friend or foe (ordinarily you don't get kills for killing friendly units). | ||

if you can't broodling an archon, why can't you lock it down? it has to be either mechanical or biological .. that's just unfair!! P >> all | ||

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 :/ | ||

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 | ||

Iradiate is reduced to like 0.5 damage per second. With regeneration rate of larva, larva dont' die from iradiate. Same with guardians for example, if you upgrade armor like a madman, you have guardians with 5 armor, and they won't die from iradiate. (They will take damage tho, unlike larva -,-) | ||

Guardians not dying with +3 armor is not true. They surely die. It might work with +3 devourers cause they have 250 NRG and irradiate only does 250 dmg. Though it's not really relevant for TvZ. | ||

there's nothing more satisfying in a scenario like that than first parasiting an scv in an expansion, then having 12 queens in a corner with enough energy to broodling and then clone 12 broodlings on the scvs, it looks so amazingly cool and what makes it even way more cool is when you afterwards attack the cc with your broodlings and then he forgets to lift instantly and then you infest the cc ioi | ||

I've seen it in single player when I was playing the campaign and using all the upgrade cheats. I had 3-3 guardians, and 1 of them got iradiated, and it stayed alive with around 30 hp. It does 250 damage yes, but armor certainly has a factor in that damage. That's why larva don't die from iradiate anyway | ||

but armor certainly has a factor in that damage. That's why larva don't die from iradiate anyway While it is lovely to talk about examples like that, they're just incorrect. A) Armor never reduces an attack to below .5 damage. Larva take NO damage from Irradiate. Therefore, they are counted such as Dragoons etc. which do not take damage from Irradiate. B) A ling with 255 Armor dies just as fast as a Ling with 0 armor. I just tested it. CONCLUSION: Armor has nothing to do with damage from Irradiate, you're merely imagining that it is so since other people are saying that it is so (incorrectly as it is) | ||

Make a map with Ultras, one with max armor and one with zero. Irradiate them and they'll both get "clean" with ~160 life left (250 dmg - their heal rate). Check for yourself in a game, or just use this UMS real quick: http://www.goldmonkee.com/iArmor.scm | ||

I was like 99,9% certain about the psistorming but I was even nice enough to test it out, and it does not help against storm. no idea how twisteds scenario can have happened though, so im gonna have to say he just remembers incorrectly. back in the day irradiate only did 200 damage but it would still have killed a guardian. (it did however not kill overlords at that time. ) | ||
