Sap it with scourgequeen and you have your infested terran, for the price of 400 gas instead of 100. Since it's lategame, it's not that much of a big deal in cost difference. It doesn't matter what map it is if your opponent is Protoss lol That's what makes Holy World so unique. | ||

Replay that game without the infested terrans and ZerO would still have won due to the threat of his drop-play and his fucking unreal hydralisk control, granted he might have lost another hydra or two 3 cannons for the trade of 100/100? Its a good deal really. These are very powerful. | ||

Probably yes. Were they costeffective? Yes. And that's it | ||

I'm not saying that the infested terrans didn't kill their fair amount of units, I'm saying that there is no way they unbalanced the match to the level where ZerO would not have won had he not had them, like everyone else seems to think. | ||

http://classic.battle.net/scc/zerg/units/iterran.shtml Also lol at Protoss counters to Infested Terran * Large numbers of Dragoons with the Singularity Charge upgrade can destroy Infested Terrans before they can come within range to do harm. * The High Templar's Psionic Storm can easily stop Infested Terrans in their tracks. * Scouts and Carriers can attack Infested Terrans with complete impunity. * Reavers can eliminate Infested Terrans before they can approach close enough to destroy anything. * The Dark Archon's Maelstrom can immobilize Infested Terrans. Infested Terrans can also be taken over completely with Mind Control. Sure this was made before modern day progaming, but it still is hilarious. | ||

At least it will benefit the protoss too (mind control lol!) + Show Spoiler + okay joking.. I'm quite concern on this map for the infested terrans, which is ridiculously helping Zerg (delaying protoss to atk as CC will be used by Zerg/infested terrans).. | ||

Even with a free gold plated CC, one of the major flaws of the Infested Terran is, imo, it's price. 100mins/100gas, that's the price of a mutalisk, and even in the hands of a pro, it's extremely easy to waste them. So unless you manage to kill 10 marines or 5 zealots with 1 hit, killing 2 zealots with 1 Infested Terran isnt that much of a good trade. I see Infested Terran more like a bonus we'll see here and there on Holy World (mineral line drops), but I doubt they will be game breaking very often. (They should make a map with free nuke silos and covert ops addons in every base, maybe we'll see nukes more often) Yes, nuke addon to the CC, as well as a bunker or dropship with SCVs so that Terran (nuke) and Protoss (mindcontrol SCVs) have options too! | ||
