EPTTerran sensor towers most likely detect cloaked units... if they're still in.
It would be completely ridiculous to make xel'naga detect cloaked units. I think it's fairly safe to say they don't.

Question on D8 charges, are they a limited number like vulture mines, do they cost resources, or do they just have a cooldown period. Either way they seemed really effective at cleaning up large clusters of units, and the timing is enough that with micro you should be able to destroy the mines before they go off...(provided of course you see them go down, and it isn't a crazy number of mines thrown) | ||

Now it looks much better and people are STILL complaining? Blizzard is just gonna facepalm when they read those comments. It's quite funny though really. The more they develop the game... they closer they get to the original! The SC2 team are slowly learning what the BW developers already knew. | ||

That's new... and that's crazy considering they also damage your own units.

Ermm... if you don't tell your reaver what to attack you'll be in trouble.... I don't really agree with this whole hunter seeker missile versus reaver shuttle comparison. For starters, you just can't compare the usefulness of a certain item for two different races. For example you can run away from scarabs because you can run away from a protoss army (with hydra for example), but have you tried running away from tanks once your hydras had already engaged? Even if i'm sure there are a million possible answers to this, all i'm trying to say is that you'll be confronted to very different scenarios depending on the matchup, so this missile is indeed very different from a scarab. | ||

I think I said that right It is not exactly a sheet, but the guide at SC2Armory preety much has all up-to-date stats and units (please note that up-to-date means information that the public knows about). | ||
