In regards to Infested Terrans Variant Send a noteboard - 02/09/2010 07:48:36 AM

Incidentally, what is so good about Infested Terrans?


The thing is, an Infestor has a max of 200 energy. IT costs about 25 energy. So an Infestor with 200 energy can effectively summon 8 Infested Terrans.

2 Infestors = 16 Infested Terrans,

3 Infestors = 24 Infested Terrans,

4 Infestors = 32 Infested Terrans,

5 Infestors = 40 Infested Terrans,

Infested Terran, a unit that can hit both ground and air, has a range of 5, and 8 damage at no supply cost, sure it has a lifespan of about 20-30 seconds, But the unit can be cast while the Infestor is burrowed. I think there's some valid balance concerns here. I'm not asking for it to be nerfed, the Zerg have enough problems at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's something that's addressed in the future.

Have you seen the patch notes for the upcoming 1.1? Zalis - 31/08/2010 02:15:43 PM 900 Views
I swear, I posted a pretty lengthy reply, but it's gone now *NM* BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 07:59:01 PM 477 Views

Agreed on the queen. The corruptor remains awful. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 09:25:08 PM 625 Views
I generally agree BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:44:20 PM 717 Views

That is where the Overlord drops come in handy BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 02:10:03 AM 679 Views

I don't play as Zerg either, but I've seen it done effectively. Check out this video BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 03:13:51 AM 795 Views
That was a great move! Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2010 03:24:46 AM 872 Views
Yeah the roaches made a huge difference BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 07:42:46 AM 757 Views
I'm only familiar with Zerg and what annoys me as Zerg, SO. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 10:12:48 PM 757 Views
Tried Zerg once or twice in coop games last week. Any advice for a Zerg noob? Zalis - 31/08/2010 10:36:28 PM 663 Views
Queen per hatchery. Constant spawn larvae. Expand creep constantly. Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:53:27 AM 702 Views
The thing about the Zerg in Starcraft 2, is that they're a very reactionary race. Variant - 02/09/2010 09:12:16 AM 836 Views
Thanks for both replies. The Queens + larvae help tremendously. I'll work on the rest. Zalis - 02/09/2010 08:41:24 PM 701 Views
Have you experienced the new Reaper based openings? Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2010 02:07:40 AM 678 Views

Also, wraiths are worse than useless BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:49:17 PM 678 Views
I really only play the campaigns in single player mode, so my experience might be a little different Cannoli - 01/09/2010 12:54:07 AM 896 Views
Marauder... expensive? Variant - 02/09/2010 04:30:47 AM 750 Views
Re: Marauder... expensive? BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 05:21:22 AM 610 Views
Well, we've got Force Field, Hallucinate, Psi Storm and Feedback, so I'm not complaining . Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 07:04:39 AM 641 Views
They're handy in team games. Not so much in 1v1. Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 07:35:10 AM 697 Views

It's slow as all hell. Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 08:02:51 AM 748 Views
It depends... Variant - 02/09/2010 08:34:53 AM 738 Views
The Raven is excellent, but in my opinion it's really expensive. Variant - 02/09/2010 07:31:38 AM 765 Views
Yeah, the ability to do all that while burrowed is really great. BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 07:42:22 AM 664 Views
You can? Crap. In that case, I need to start using it. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 09:33:17 PM 310 Views
Yes... press the hotkey for burrow and then the key for parasite (very quickly, but in that order) BlackAdder - 03/09/2010 03:39:38 AM 652 Views
