Lore-wise, spawn broodling doesn't work on probes or reavers because they are robotic and do not have any organic matter to fertilize with to produce broodlings. Tanks, on the other hand, are non-robotic because they are manned and operated. Also, can you imagine the ZvP match-up if spawn broodlings worked on reavers and archons? | ||

Lockdown hits any mechanical unit. All units that aren't zerg, zealots, archons, dark archons, high templar, dark templar, marines, medics, ghosts, and firebats are mechanical. | ||

new: If a unit gets a parasite and is loaded in a shuttle, does the Zerg opponent still get vision or is it nullified temporarily? | ||

You will lose vision when a parasited unit is loaded into a transport or a bunker. On July 20 2011 04:32 caruso wrote: Which are the maps a newer bw player should download?

If i recall correctly. Day(9) said that 5 hatch hydra is used to control the center of the map. A map which has no center is not good for 5 hatch hydra. If you watch the Chill vs Combat ex Bo5. On round 2 Day(9) explains why Longinus is not a very good map for the 5 hatch hydra because of its "circular" dynamic due to the ramps and such. There is no real center. I would say that a good map with a center would be one such as fighting spirit or python. | ||

Where and how the third is positioned for the Protoss is also a really important issue when you're going a hydra build. Hydra builds are the most effective when the Protoss is prevented from taking a third, which limits his gas income and allows your hydras to stay effective. If the Protoss can easily take a third then you being able to control the center means a lot less because he doesn't really need to move out until he puts together a good composition and moves out. Some maps that I personally found to be great for hydra builds is Destination, Blue Storm, and Heartbreak Ridge. | ||

And also, for any map for Flash Build, is it better to build 4 marines, make no wall, and plan the CC on spot in the natural, OR wall-in, build 1 marine, and float the CC to the natural? because of fast tech and upgrades whilst double factory tank production, gas shortage is common on 2 base and 3rd gas is favoured for flash build. opening fd on python and tornado is not a bad idea because of how open the natural is and how he can delay your natural expansion with goons. fd gives you the slight map control to push him behind your natural so you can take it faster than a siege expand. but this is if he has good control. usually if you open siege expand, 1 marine and the second tank should be enough to secure your natural | ||
