EPTYou Don't Know StarCraft II
UNITS
UNITS
Hello TeamLiquid. I've taken it upon myself to create an extensive table (eventually making an entire database) of all the units in StarCraft II with all of their attributes and possible features. I thought it would be fun to look at some of the bests and worsts that the units provide in terms of their stats whether it be upgrade efficiency (i.e. is getting +1 attack for Dark Templars more DPS than getting +1 attack for a hydralisk?), speed, supply, attributes, etc. I have come up with this based on these values and I thought I would start a small series in more of a "Did you know" fashion.
I hope you all enjoy. If you think something is calculated wrong or can easily be misinterpreted, please let me know. I included a brief explanation for every answer within the answer.
I shall eventually extend this series to include spells, buildings, and maybe even maps
