    You can salvage any addons for 100% which makes it a lot of fun to switch up tech and production.

    You can also salvage just about any tech building, but not a production building.

    Armory = Yes

    Barracks = No

    judging from your opinion, what units should the zerg build to beat a protoss who uses stalkers and archons and immortals that micro their stalkers like uberly uber (got this from the live sc2 matches).

    Banelings for the Archons, Lurkers for the Stalkers, Guardians to deal with all three, and Zerglings to help with the Immortals. Also throw in some Mutalisks and plenty of Spine Crawlers (the answer against masses of Dragoons was always Sunkens, no?).

    Also, don't fall into the Zerg's trap that the guy from BlizzCon did. Zerg's job is to gain map control and come at the enemy from different angles. Of course you're going to lose if your opponent manages to bottle you up like Yellow did. Drop some units off the cliff and come at him from behind where his Blink won't help him.

    oh, do you know if Psi Storm been changed? for you said that a hydralisk could survive it with 1/3 of its health left, and it has 80 health, yet in the match, those storms killed the Lurkers in one shot.

    and while we are on the subject of the Lurker, do you think its burrowing time is faster?

    @me555: no they need a spotter in order to go up cliffs.

    Yeah. I'm not sure what the deal is. Different build or maybe my Hydras weren't under the storm completely. Not sure.

    maybe they changed it a little where it doesnt do as much damage against Light armored units. for in most of my sources the Hydralisk has light armor, while the Lurker is Armored.

    Check out my review for those thoughts. I thought the Viking was rather weak. It wasn't much good on the ground at all and hardly any better in the air.

    Couldn't you do that before by telling the worker unit to mine, thus going through any unit? *Including mining units*

    any information on the day and night cycle they were experimenting with before? are they considering this even just for the single player campaign?

    i just have 1 question now.

    how did you feel that most of the Zergs early Tiered units costing only minerals? (zerglings a giving, but how about the Roach(just 100 minerals) and the Banelings( just 75 minerals) and how do you think this will change the Zergs early strats?

    Talking about day/night cycle, did they mention anything about different unit art if a game is played in a snow environment or anything? Last time I heard about it is that they talked about it, but no decision was taken yet.
