EPTCorrect me if I'm wrong here, but isn't it more like

economically speaking.

That's 17 drones on minerals for each base, meaning 4 or perhaps 3 hatcheries per base, or 10 to 17 overall (5 to 3 drones on minerals per hatch). That drone count is more appropriate for 4 bases, with 2 hatcheries at each base, increased to 3 hatcheries if the money allows it. And a 4 base zerg with 60 drones and time to power up completely OWNS a 2-base terran, no matter how many SCVs he has. A more realistic comparison would be 42 drones (3*[11+3]) vs somewhere between 42 and 60 SCVs (2*[9*2..3+3]). Of course the question itself is silly, you can't make a straight comparison due to several factors, including the different mechanics of the races, different unit costs, different unit mixes, time available to power up, timing windows, etc. Yeah, that part is wrong. Sorry, I meant to say 48 workers for both. | ||

Lurkers under swarm, even clumped, take no damage from sieged tanks. If you irradiate a single lurker in a clump, only that irradiated lurker will take damage. Dark swarm prevents direct damage from ranged attacks on units. Burrow prevents indirect splash damage. | ||

Dark Swarm Under Dark Swarm, the projectile is shifted to the side. Therefore, the point of impact is also shifted to the side. Since the point of impact is shifted to the side, units under Dark Swarm are only affected by the splash damage of those units with radial splash. In addition, if a unit is on top of the shifted point of impact, it takes full damage from the attack. Burrowed units do not take damage from radial splash under Dark Swarm. There are a few exceptions to this effect, and they are the: Reaver, Infested Terran, Firebat, and Spider Mine. In the case of these units, they don't have a projectile attack sprite, so their attacks are not shifted at all. The two airborne radial splash damage dealers both do not attack ground, thus they never come into conflict with Dark Swarm. So I think this is conclusively saying that Siege Tanks do not do any damage to Lurkers. They are a ranged damage whose radial splash does not fall within the list of these exceptions. | ||

Has anyone besides me tried this in ZvT? After the standard 3hatchmuta opening into lurkerling, where you inch by inch move back slowly, take one or two of your lurkers and put them on hold position behind Terrans possible 2nd expansion mineral lines (since he is only on two bases at this point). After the game moves towards late game and he has saturated the expansion, remove the hold command. It's like an invisible drop. I've tried it against two terrans and they didn't know what hit them. I think I've never seen in any provods either the Terran scanning their possible expansions before taking them (well only if there is a ling blocking them burrowed). | ||

You forgot the part I bolded in there, which means lurkers in front of the targeted lurker can be killed if the tank shot is on top of them. | ||

Thinking about the discussion, the dark swarm works by moving the projectile 1 unit grid from the target, therefore nullifying any direct damage, and the burrow ignores splash damage. However, the projectile, now one unit grid away from the original target, will "directly" attack the spot, damaging, killing, even burrowed units. I think this is the most logical explanation. | ||

...and the burrow ignores splash damage Many say that splash damage cant hurt burrowed units, but I often see an Archon attack a zealot to kill the burrowed Lurker, so ...? | ||
