Zergling damage is 5 and Ultralisk damage is 20. Zealot damage is 8+8. | ||

its like this. you spend so much gas and minerals to get your units to 3 1 3 upgrades. they spend less to get 3 3 lings. they can get more lings than you. after all those upgrades they die in 3 hits from zlots and they hit a lot faster while your zlots hit at the same rate. :/ | ||

Firebats attack 3 times, but it's rarely or never for full damage so it's generally closer to 2x. | ||

That's really interesting about zealots, I knew that they had two 8 hits but I didn't know the implications were so great, T_T To ask an old question, when you do damage and then damage type, damage reduction comes first, correct? I.E. Dragoons only do 1/2 to units like marine/zergling, so if the marine gets +1 armor it takes 5 shots instead of 4 to kill - however are the shots doing 20/2 -1 or .. 20-1 / 2? ps: wouldn't it be cool if vultures dealt normal damage?  | ||
