Irradiate the goliath, load it onto the dropship, then see how many marines you can load onto the dropship. I got 34 the first try. Freakin' infinite capacity dropship. Off topic but that is interesting. On August 05 2008 11:28 Chill wrote: Yes. Why don't you test it instead of starting a thread? "Ensnare + acid spores stack!" is a much better thread than "Do ensnare + acid spores stack?" Seriously, it's like 2 seconds to test. I certainly agree with what you are saying but there is no point for this topic otherwise as replies will be "ok..." and then it will be closed. I believe even though some people already knew this answer, it has cleared out doubts for others. Besides.. it is funny to see how so many people misinterpreted what the OP is asking for. | ||

With 9 acid spores, an irradiated unit takes 925 points of damage (but heals 10 during the irradiate = 915). Irradiate normally does 250 damage. This means irradiate is compounded 75 times during the spell (about 3.333 damage every half second for 37.5 game seconds I believe). 9 acid spores makes irradiate almost 4 times as powerful. Of course you'd never use it in a game because if you had t and z, you'd just go devourer/valkyrie (120 damage per salvo on 9 acid spored 0 armor units, which splashes). 6 valks pretty much 1 hit anything with 9 acid spores. hahahaha omfg those stats soudn sooo awesome but too bad w'ere never gonna see eraser + acid spores or 9 acid spored air units wtih valkyries melting the shit out of them.lol omfg. haha thanks for testing! | ||

Just bump the ensnare thread. As is this thread is useless and why are there so many useless replies in it? | ||

cost of upgrading ensnare = cost of mutating 1 devourer cost of queen = cost of mutalisk. O.o??? | ||

Check out these Queen threads: Viability of Queens Queens ZvP - talks about broodling too Another thread Queens ZvT and ZvP ? Search on Queens on TL.net - tons and tons of threads with the subject of queens on them. Lots of good information and lots of people question the viability of queens. Many threads have over 50 posts in them, too. As you can see, the queen is an interesting unit. You can find out even more info from the search button. | ||

True but you could make the argument that it technically lowers armor. It is corrosive acid so it corrodes the armor of whatever it is on. You just have to open your mind up to accepting negative armor numbers. For instance a fully upgraded carrier with 9 acid spores would have -2 armor and thus take 11 damage from a fully upgraded marine (9 -(-2)). | ||

Devourer acid spores add damage , amount in ( ) , ie (9) = unit dmg + 9 dmg , also decreases speed dramaticaly with fire rate as well. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=41799#15 | ||

You can link to the ensnare effects thread too in your original post if you like: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=41799#15 | ||
