I've been playing Zerg in Brood war for some time now, but I watch SC2 matches as well, and of course in SC2 creep is very important for zerg in that. But it crossed my mind though- does creep help the zerg in BW? Like increasing speed of movement, regeneration, etc., apart from providing building ground. I have tried searching for this topic but nothing came up, so I decided to ask here. Can anyone help? Thanks | ||

No very useful, in fact I've never taken the time to check if this is true or not but a little voice in the back of my head says its so I just tested it, and this is not the case. Units regen health at the same speed whether they are on or off creep. There really isn't any use for creep besides placing buildings. I guess you could proxy hatcheries to deny the building space for other races, but that seems like a bad idea. In any case, there isn't really any way to effectively spread creep, so the point is kinda moot. | ||

I used the map editor and placed a starting point and hatchery for a human player. I then put one zergling on creep, and another off creep. I set both zerglings to 1% health and started the map. After a minute or two, the zerglings had regenerated the same amount of health. | ||

And no creep doesn't do anything else other than allowing buildings in bw. | ||
