Ahh thank you very much OP.

I'm hoping we can put together a little compendium of all the units, costs, build times, types, upgrades, etc if there isn't already one... and we can keep it up to date after patches.

Lurkers are not in sc2. I guess they figured that dodging spines with marines was unfair to lesser skilled players so they removed it as a whole.

yeah lets remove the most technical unit of zerg (save defilers maybe) so all we have left over is easy a-move Units!

Btw, I looked through the unit lists in all the other sc2 sites and they are horribly outdated. Just pointing it out in case some of you were planning on using those to form strategies.

And it is because of these threads that 10 years from now people will look at a super old 2010 post and say OMG LOOK HOW THE BETA WAS!!!

More likely, they had a hard time deciding which tier to place them at, so they decided to take them out, see how balance plays out without them, and insert them appropriately to fill the gap.

One interesting thing I've noticed about Zerg is that the Infestor no longer has the ability to create infested Terrans. Now, whatever organic unit it targets with neural parasite will be infested and mind controlled for 10 seconds. Tried this on a Marine and Marauder, going to try it on Protoss next.

I am really glad they went back to old protoss tech tree. I didnt like how for awhile they had made protoss into 3 tiers with the stargate unlocking the third tier.

Maybe they're gonna replace lurkers in the game in a shiny new form in the expansions or something. That sounds like something blizzard would do. Just to make sure we buy them x]

I uploaded a quick vid of it all incliding units etc in game, it's not highly detailed as i can't go cheat and just mind control one of every race and build one of everything to show you the + armor and dmg from upgrades but i'll consider doing that later on

The video is still processing but it should churn out a HD vid sooner or later

Hydra's back to lair tech? I thought they were forced to put it back to tier 1.5 because zerg was vulnerable for early air?

Any beta input on this? How do zerg fair against an early air raid?

There was a stream earlier (I believe that it was Psyonic_Reaver) where he went very Phoenix heavy, and without Scourge or early Hydralisks the Zerg had no chance...and the Z did seem at least knowledgeable.

About how quickly can you get tier 2 units compared to sc1? Does fast expanding seem to be a viable strategy anymore?
