You Don't Know StarCraft II
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

Going through them, this is very well done! 
|
doing these makes me feel so dumb!
|
Damn i am à proud sc2 geek.
|
Question 13 you put the answer as C instead of B
|
|
|
Which unit cannot possibly be spawned with 75 energy?
Change that word to created. You can't refer to non-zerg units as spawned.
|
At the question 13, the answer has a problem:
+ Show Spoiler +problem baneling is 3 and DT is 2 but it says DT and answer 3
|
Nice questions! To think, I always thought Roaches had a bonus vs. Armored units until just now.
|
this is cool, question 13 has a mistake in it, it should say B, it says C. Also does terran buildings count as air units? because if they do terran has the most air units haha
|
Knew most of them except the really tricky ones. My question is I can only count 6 protoss air units (unless the 7th is hallucination but i doubt it) phoenix - vr - warpprism - carrier -mothership - observer. Or is it interceptor o_O?
|
You need to fix Question 13
Cool quiz ^^
|
Cosmos and conut, thanks for the help. I have updated to reflect these errors.
@cLunAsTyY, Yes the Interceptor (while it can be argued is not a unit) is the last one.

Please don't accuse them of being wrong so fast without doing some research.
The Mothership has 350 health and 350 shields. I asked which unit had the most health and the mothership has only 350 health, not 700.
Question 3 is correct.
Battlecruisers start with 50 energy and can be upgraded by 25 through the Behemoth Reactor upgrade.
Infestors start with 50 energy and can be upgraded by 25 through the Pathogen Glans upgrade.
Ravens start with 50 energy and can be upgraded by 25 through the Corvid Reactor upgrade.
High Templars start with 50 energy and cannot have their starting energy upgraded.

thor gets +6 dmg per upg and higher than dark templar,
also with shield momoships is beefeir than battlecruiser, guees thats a trick question.
|
Ideas:
Which unit has the most dps/cost (gas=x2 minerals)
a)zergling
b)marine
c)baneling
d)reaper
answer:+ Show Spoiler +baneling,0 cooldown+27 average damage means that it has infinite dps.

Man I need to work on my miscellaneous Starcraft knowledge. These would be fun tidbits for casters to throw out during streams.

The hydra speed multiplier is 1.5, so the queen and broodling are not the only units which have a multiplier different than 1.3.

This is incorrect, but you are within the right thinking. When thors get +1 they get an additional 3 damage added to their attacks. They attack in a 2 part series which means in the course of both attacks (which happen very quickly) it is an additional 6 damage.
Check out more info on the Thor

Meh, technically you're wrong. According to Liquipedia, it's called "hitpoints" and plasma shields, not "health" and plasma shields.
You're making a trick question and it kind of backfired.
Mothership: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Mothership_(Wings_of_Liberty)
Hitpoints (not "health", per se): http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/index.php?title=File:Icon_Hitpoints.png&filetimestamp=20100213175646
Furthermore, if you look here: "Terran SCVs have 5 more health than the other workers" ~http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/SCV then this implies that plasma shields are included in the overall health sum of a unit. Hitpoints + plasma shields = health for a unit.
So fix #5 please. Motherships have 700 health: 350 hitpoints + 350 plasma shields.

I got 20 wrong as I thought best speed increase would be as a percentage of original movement speed ):

This is exactly what I said about some questions being misinterpreted wrong. I have updated the OP. Thanks for this clarification. <3

I think that's stupid. It's his quiz, he doesn't have to fix it, so please stop being so demanding. Also I agree with him, mothership has 350hp just as archon has 10hp. Every caster says archon's have 10hp and 350shield. hp = health points = health.
Anyways, enjoy the quiz, and don't argue stupid shit. -.-

If his question were worded combined health and shields then you would be correct.

Pretty sure the Infested Terran doesn't move faster on creep.

For the last question I only count 6 for Protoss. Are we counting Interceptor as a unit separate from the Carrier?

The Team Liquid wiki has the Intercepter as a unit and I agree.

I think you misunderstand hit points (not health points... what?) and plasma shields. And that's fine, you can call them whatever you want colloquially, but when the title of the quiz is "You Don't Know SC2 Units", it's important he doesn't mess them up either. His wording was actually explicitly wrong. It wasn't really up for discussion. Health is hit points + shields. Total life of a unit. Him not changing it would mean that the question would remain incorrect, as I showed via Liquipedia. There's a difference between making a tricky question, and making a question that actually uses the wrong terminology. And he happily fixed the question, so there's not really any point in whining about people correcting questions (which is justified and happens every time someone comes up with a quiz like this).

Technically, you could give them a cooldown of the delay of your monitor, so something like 2-30ms, since they don't blow up in the instant that they hit the unit, but rather in the frame after.
And actually, it would have undefined DPS, not infinite. ^.^
Unless you wanted to take the limit of the DPS, THEN it would be infiinty.

What he was saying was that health generally refers to eHP in sc2, not HP, they worked it out though so it's irrelevant.
Also he's saying he got 3 questions wrong, not that number three was wrong.
That was fun OP, most the questions I got right were either ones you could reason your way to our gut feelings when I knew it was one of two answers. Surprisingly I missed the most zerg ones despite playing Zerg. Thanks.

The Immortal gets +2 to it's ground attack when upgrade with +1 Weapons upgrade. If it is dealing damage to Armored units, then it is +3.

But damage vs armoured goes up from 50-55 for upgrade 1. So it increases in damage by 5.

The answer to question 3 has some wording issues, it should be + Show Spoiler +"This was once not the case" instead of "This was not once the case". They way you worded it means there was never a time the following was true, rather than that it was true at one time.
Also question 2 could have been worded less confusingly, + Show Spoiler +In StarCraft II, what range is melee range for all but two units?
Nice job though.

I suppose I should have put "without bonuses". Thanks for the catch.

I got question 12 wrong since I thought infestor was both psionic and a detector (Fungal).
|
I was a little confused as to what was meant in question 20 by "best" increase -- like, are we talking proportional to their original speed, or in absolute numbers? (I see the result is in absolute numbers, and technically my answer was wrong either way, haha.)
I got like 13/22 or something. Not bad, I guess!
|
Last question might need a fix.
Most amount of air units doesn't specify diversity, thus inquiring zerg bests all other races (since zerg can get an infinite amount of overlords whils terran and protoss are limited by supply ( unless you count protoss hallucinations in which case they are still not in infinite amount, thus zerg maintain their spot ). Terran buildings don't count, as "buildings" are not units. Only a rephrasing in necessary.
Other than that, quite a good job; simple quiz; you should think about putting difficulty levels too (a.k.a more and harder questions). Just a suggestion 
|
In question 20 is the question just referring to the 4 you have listed there or do you want the answer to be the unit that has the best speed increase throughout the entire game. If you do mean for the answer to be the best speed increase unit in the game, would zealot be correct?
Zealot charge
Charge

In question 5, you ask which unit has the most hitpoints- not health or health points. Thus my answer was the Mothership and not the Battlecruiser. IMO this is a trick question, which is fine, but you put it in a way which, logically means that the 'trick' answer is correct rather than the real one.
Edit: Question 6: Infested Terran eggs have no tags, but you don't acknowledge them. But then, they aren't really units.
|
|
|
In Q13 you forgot the + Show Spoiler +Immortal that has the same bonus damage as the Dark Templar
But excellent work nonetheless, even if you have some things wrong its still a good job

haha this was extremely fun, thanks for posting. I got 10/22 =.= i got most of the obvious ones, damn. Luckily my excuse of quitting starcraft and playing dota2 still stands ;D. thanks again ^^

Questions I got wrong:
1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 13, 19
12 and 22 I answered right, but for the wrong reasons. (Thought that Observer and Overseer were Psionic Detectors and apparently completely miscounted the air units of the races.)

Anyways, enjoy the quiz, and don't argue stupid shit. -.- I think you misunderstand hit points (not health points... what?) and plasma shields. And that's fine, you can call them whatever you want colloquially, but when the title of the quiz is "You Don't Know SC2 Units", it's important he doesn't mess them up either. His wording was actually explicitly wrong. It wasn't really up for discussion. Health is hit points + shields. Total life of a unit. Him not changing it would mean that the question would remain incorrect, as I showed via Liquipedia. There's a difference between making a tricky question, and making a question that actually uses the wrong terminology. And he happily fixed the question, so there's not really any point in whining about people correcting questions (which is justified and happens every time someone comes up with a quiz like this).
I'm not sayin' Liquipedia's wrong, but the term "hit points" isn't a stat in SC2 unit data. It's Life, Shield and Energy. If you're going to nitpick the difference between health and hit points, might as well nitpick the difference between both of those and Life since Life is the term that can be said to be officially correct.

I'd rather not have this thread go to waste with an argument on definitions, but for my 2c, I think Buttered is right. HP is pretty much used interchangeably for hitpoints/health depending on what game you're playing regardless (sorry DarkPlasmaBall).
Hell if you want proof they're practically equivalent. Look at Quake which had the Megahealth, according to the manual it gave you "+100 additional hit points" even though it was named the Megahealth not the Megahitpoints.
As for liquipedia, it wouldn't surprise me at all if you'll find inconsistent terminology unless there's a page with standardized terminology to be used throughout the wiki.
Edit: Found it, well that took 2 seconds.
If you look under the mothership page you linked DarkPlasmaBall and look under Patch 2, it'll say "The health was decreased from 400 to 350". Implying that Health does not include Shields. So I'd find another source.
Hell, where's Pholon. Pholon, make us a page listing all the standard terminology to be used and referee.

Some nice questions there! Got almot all correct (never knew the melee range is more than 0 )
I hope a future set of questions will include which unit has the highes dps per supply in game, with or withouth bonuses (I think its either Zerling or DT). Atleast some people will stop saying its the Carrier) 3 lings kill a Nexus faster than a Carrier with 8 inteceptors!

Question 12
There is only 1 unit that is both Psionic and a Detector.

B) False

There are no units that are both Psionic and a Detector.
Ghosts are rather makeshift detectors with EMP, but I suppose they aren't a "true" detector.

If you were to grant the Ghost the power of a psionic detector then the question is still right because you would also have to grant the infestor that same right.

HP usually stands for hit points = how many hits something can take before dying.

Got most of them right, around 3/4. Still some I didn't know, I thought Overseers where psionic.

What about unique air units? In the Editor Buildings and Units are under the same tab for SC2, techincally you could count flying buildings as unique air units and then terran would have the most
Didn't think of Zealot charge, that was clever ^^
|
Only 3 wrong. Thought overseers were psionic, didn't know observers had 20 shields (thought interceptors had pretty damn low shields), and I didn't think about counting Warp Prisms and Observers as air units for some reason >_>
|
Question 5 is dumb. When calculating hitpoints, I imagine most people add the shields to the hull for Protoss, since 1 point of shields literally equals 1 point of hull.

That's why you go "Hey, if he's calculating shields as HP, it's C, but if he's calculating only HP as HP (as the question states), it's A!".
I just assumed he wasn't calculating shields, since he didn't mention them at all.

Blizzard defines HP as just the red number without the shields. So whether it's hit points or health points, it is just the red number. Here's a quote from blizzard's strategy guide "Note that when Protoss units are Plagued, their shields are unaffected--only their HP are reduced. "

On the last question, it says there are 7 protoss air units. There are void rays, pheonix, carriers, observers, warp prism, and mothership. What am I missing?

I actually thought overseers were psionic (obviously they are obsevers)... Being a high master zerg this obviously makes me a patchzerg
It made me think of a bonus question though: Are there more psionic energy-units or non-psionic energy-units?
Extra-bonus: How many structures have energy?
Answer:
+ Show Spoiler +
There are 6 psionic energy-units: HT, Mothership, Sentry, Ghost, Infestor and Queen (all psionic units have energy)
There are 7 non-psionic energy-units! Raven, Phoenix, Banshee, BC, Medivac, Thor and Overseer. Interestingly five of them are terran.
Bonus: There are three structures with energy: OC, Nexus and PDD.
