IV - Miscellaneous Info

-----------------------------------------------------
i) Introduction

Starcraft is real-time strategy game from Blizzard. It is a great 
game, if you are fans of any RTS game, this one is recommended for 
you. Broodwar is an expansion set, and introduce many new elements, 
including 6 new units. The FAQ I used here is based on Broodwar 
with patches version 1.08. (You can download it at www.blizzard.com).
I also include some notes for patches version 1.07 (because it is 
one of the most used patches before 1.08 is out). 

First, I apologize if my English is not good. Maybe some grammars and 
spellings have some error in this FAQ. This is my first unpublished 
FAQ I wrote, so there may be so many mistakes here. 
Email me at [email protected] for corrections and suggestions, 
and of course you will be credited even for small fixes.

This FAQ is created for intermediate and expert players that have 
played the game long enough to truly know the aspect of the game.
Although the beginners can also read this FAQ, it is not recommended 
because of complicated data. I don't include any "how to play", basic 
strategies or other because I assume all who read this FAQ have already 
known how to play Starcraft. 

A lot of info I acquired from Blizzard official website, while the 
others I acquired by searching, trying, and my other hardwork by 
playing the game itself and also by using StarDraft SE from Camelot 
Systems.

If you include any information below in any FAQ or Websites, please ask 
my permission first (usually I will answer yes) and give credits for me. 
(It's extremely hard to collect information in this FAQ, you know).

I will update this FAQ when there is a mistake or error. I can also add 
an entirely new section if I think it's important. 

And lastly, I don't own Starcraft CD. I play the game by borrowing 
my cousin's CD. This is just for info. :P

*******************
I - Special Ability
*******************
One of the most interesting aspects in the game is the Special Ability 
that the units have. Many people who can play Starcraft know well that 
Special Ability can not be neglected. (May be except those who always 
rush). This section explains the description and strategies of Special 
Abilities in all three races.

Notes: 
Cost    : Cost for unit to use the ability (e mean energy)
Range   : The ability range (some abilities used by the unit itself, so 
          they have no range). 
Upgrade : Building where you must research the ability, and the cost 
          needed to upgrade. 
          If no upgrade listed, the the ability is the initial special 
          ability that doesn't need to be researched.
BT      : Build Time, or time needed to research the ability. 
          (Higher number mean longer time)

1) Terran Special Ability
-------------------------
1.1) Stim Packs
Cost     : 10 Health
User     : Marine, Firebat
Research : Academy (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 80 BT)
When used will double the Marines/Firebats attack rates, and also 
increase their speed significantly.
- If your Marine/Firebat has less than 10 HP, he cannot use Stim Packs.
- You can use Stim Packs multiple times, but the effects are not
cumulative. (Only one Stim Pack is active at one time)
- Stim Packs are not permanent effect, after a few seconds 
Marines/Firebats revert to their normal state.
- Stim Packed Marines/Firebats can win battles that you thought 
impossible, use this when you're defending from/attacking a large group 
of enemy or powerful enemy.
- Stim Packed Marines are best to attack enemy's Mutalisks. {lunarray}
- Stim Packs can be used to run from Hydralisk and other units chasing 
down your marines/firebats. But better find some protection soon, since 
stimpack effect dissipates rather quickly. {lunarray}
- Before patches 1.04 or Broodwar, Stim Packed Firebat would only 
increase speed, but not attack rates. 
- Use Stim Pack before enemy comes near you or before you attack the 
enemy, so the effect of Stim Pack still exist when your medic heals 
your army to full HP. {lunarray}
- If you use firebats rush, research Stim Pack before U-238 Shell. 
{lunarray}

1.2) Deploy Spider Mines
Cost     : None, but only 3 mines/Vulture
User     : Vulture
Research : Machine Shop (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 80 BT)
Vultures can deploy spider mines (Each Vulture only has 3 mines and  
they can't be replaced). Vulture must stop in an area briefly to deploy 
it. When deployed, the mine will take a second to burrow, and it is 
vulnerable during burrowing time. Once burrowed, friendly units can see 
the mine, but the enemy units can't (unless using Detector). Any enemy 
Ground Units (but not Hovering units) that enter the Mine sight range 
(3) will activate it. The mine will pop up of the ground and attempt to 
run into target, and explode. It will damage any unit within short 
radius. 
- Spider Mines have 125 damage, amd have splash damage that can hit 
friendly units.
- Air units and Hovering units will not trigger the mines, but Hovering 
units can take damage from the splash damage.
- Spider Mine is not detector, but it can chase cloaked Ghost.
- Units that are NOT set off Spider Mines: All air units, Probe, 
Archon, Dark Archon, Vulture, Drone, and SCV.
- Spider Mines can be attacked while chasing enemy, and will not 
explode if destroyed with this way. {[email protected]}
- Air units can spot burrowed Spider Mines. (Old Starcraft version)
  Newer patches make Spider Mines can't be detected with air units
  anymore, but I don't know after what version.
- If you use Optic Flare on your Spider Mines, It CAN make them more 
effectively, because it will explode when enemy units step on it. If 
you don't do so, the enemy might shoot it down and you'll have a wasted 
mine. {Andrew Lang}
- Before patches 1.05, Spider Mine isn't affected by Disruption Web.
- Before patches 1.05, Spider Mine research needs 150 Minerals and 150 
Gas.

1.3) Siege Tech
Cost     : None
User     : Siege Tank
Research : Machine Shop (150 Minerals, 150 Gas, 80 BT)
Siege Tech will allow all Siege Tanks to have ability go into Siege 
Mode (and revert back into Tank Mode). In Siege Mode, Tanks cannot 
move, but it will greatly increase attack ranges and also attack 
damage.
- Tank in Siege Mode can't enter Dropship (or other Transport).
- Tanks need some time to transform into Siege Mode and vice versa.
- In Siege Mode, Tank has more attack range than its sight range.
- In Siege Mode, Tank cannot attack units/buildings that are in 2 
matrices. In the other words, it cannot attack units that are next to 
it. 
- If a unit gets too close to a Siege Tank while in Siege Mode, the 
tank won't be able to target it. You can use this to your advantage by 
having a Dropship/Overlord/Shuttle drop the troops right next to the 
tank so it can't fight back. {[email protected]}

1.4) Cloaking 
Cost     : 25e for initial cloaking, 1e/second to remain cloaked
User     : Wraith, Ghost
Research (Ghost) : Covert Ops (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 80 BT)
Research (Wraith): Control Tower (150 Minerals, 150 Gas, 100 BT)
Cloaked units cannot be targeted by enemy units or single-unit special 
ability (Like Parasite). Any splash damage and special abilities that 
affect multiple units can still attack the target. To target cloaked 
units, enemy must have buildings or units that have Detector. Once a 
cloaked unit is detected, any units belonging to or sharing vision with 
that opponent can target it normally.
- Cloaking for Ghost is called Personnel Cloaking, while Wraith is 
called Cloaking Field {[email protected]}
- If the energy of cloaked units downs to zero, it will decloak.
- Special ability that can damage cloaked units when they are not 
detected: Psionic Storm and Nuclear Strike.
- Special ability that can be used to reveal cloaked units are: 
Ensnare, Plague, Maelstorm, Acid Spores (only if the cloaked unit are 
in splash effect), EMP Shockwave (will drain cloaked units energy in 
area to zero) and Stasis Field (the cloaked unit visible but can't be 
attacked).
- Special ability with visible special effect will reveal cloaked units 
(Irradiate, Defense Matrix, Lockdown, Ensnare, Plague, Acid Spores, and 
others)
- Parasited units are revealed to the owner of the parasite.

1.5) Lockdown
Cost     : 100e
User     : Ghost
Range    : 8
Research : Covert Ops (200 Minerals, 200 Gas, 100 BT)
Targets a mechanical unit to become immobile for 60 seconds. The 
affected units can't be controlled in any way (including use special 
ability).
- Lock down does not work on buildings.
- Locking down Detector makes it lose its Detector ability.
- Locking down cloaked unit makes it visible.
- Locking down Arbiter cancels its ability to cloak nearby units.
- You can repair Terran units in Lockdown status.
- Units that can be locked down: SCV, Vulture, Goliath, Siege Tank, 
Wraith, Dropship, Valkyrie, Science Vessel, Battlecruiser, Probe, 
Dragoon, Reaver, Shuttle, Observer, Corsairs, Scout, Interceptor (hard 
and worthless), and Carrier.
- It is advised not to research Lockdown when fighting against Zerg 
players. All Zergs are biological, thus immune to Lockdown.

1.6) Nuclear Strike
Cost     : 1 Armed Nuclear Silo
User     : Ghost
Range    : 8 or 10 (Ghost's Sight Range - 1)
Units and buildings at the area of Nuclear Strike will lose either 2/3 
of their combined maximum Shield and Hit Points or take 500 points of 
damage, whichever is greater. The farther the distance, the lesser 
damage is received, but almost any unit caught within the blast will be 
killed instantly. 
- Cancelling a nuke or Ghost killed before finishing its aiming, will 
make a nuclear lost.
- The only unit that can survive the Nuclear Blast is Battlecruiser 
with full HP. (It survives with small HP left equal to its armor level)
- To nuke Protoss's base, better if you use EMP Shockwave first.
- Two nukes on same target will destroy all buildings or units.
- Burrowed or cloaked units receive no protection against nuke.
- Researching Ocular Implants can increase the nuke ranges.
- Cloaking is highly recommended when you want to use nuclear strike. 
- You can also use Defensive Matrix on your Ghost when he tries to 
nuke, if he is spotted by enemy.
- Defensive Matrix can protect units from Nuclear Strike by increasing 
its HP (+250 non-regenerating shield). So some units can survive from 
Nuclear Strike. (Like Ultralisk and Carrier). {[email protected]}
- Before Broodwar, burrowed units gains protection from nuclear strike.
- Place nuclear red-point at some units with red colour like Dark 
Archon or Firebats to hide your nuclear strike point. {lunarray}
- An armed Nuclear Silo add-on can be captured by other Terran player's
Command Center. As long as the nuclear is not launched, the supplies 
(8 supply) are still being deducted from enemy's supply. {Tim Hutchison}

1.7) Defensive Matrix
Cost     : 100e
User     : Science Vessel
Range    : 10
Gives 250 Non-regenerating Shield to targeted unit. After about 30 
seconds, the effects wear off, even if the shield still has HP. 
Defensive Matrix doesn't mean invulnerability, because there is small 
damage that can still damage your shielded unit.
- EMP Shockwave can't drain this special Shield.
- Defensive Matrix on a cloaked unit makes it visible.
- Defensive Matrices are not cumulative, placing a new Matrix onto an 
old one, means replacing it with the new matrix.
- Defensive Matrix is best used on expensive unit (Siege Tank, 
Battlecruiser, Science Vessel), units attacking tower (Wraith), Ghost 
ready for nuclear, Dropship trying to unload, or units in battle that 
have red/yellow HP (but not too weak).
- Defensive Matrix doesn't prevent Irradiate, but it will slow down the 
damage.
- Defensive Matrix can protect units from Nuclear Strike by increasing 
its HP (+250 non-regenerating shield). So some units can survive from 
Nuclear Strike. (Like Ultralisk and Carrier). {[email protected]}
- Defensive Matrix can protect units from Yamato Gun, so it only deals 
10 damage (260 - 250). {[email protected]}
- Defensive Matrix can protect from Feedback damage, but feedback still 
drain the Energy.
- Defensive Matrix cannot protect damage from Plague or Broodling.

1.8) Irradiate
Cost     : 75e
User     : Science Vessel
Range    : 9
Research : Science Facility (200 Minerals, 200 Gas, 80 BT)
Targeted Unit becomes irradiated for 30 seconds. All air and ground 
biological units nearby (within 2 matrices) will take damage up to 250 
HP of damages. The targeted unit will also take damage if it an 
Biological/Organic unit.
- Mechanical units can be irradiated and damage all nearby biological 
units, but the targets itself don't receive damage.
- Irradiating more than once on same target doesn't have cumulative 
effect. (It's only replacing the old Irradiate), but overlapping 
Irradiation can cause more damage if they are near each other.
- You can Irradiate your own units (example: Siege Tank) to protect 
them from attacked by enemy biological melee units (like Zealots or 
Zerglings). This will make them take damage from irradiation, while 
your tank takes damage only by enemies but not by the irradiation 
itself.
- Irradiate can't be protected by Defensive Matrix, it's only slowing 
down the damage.
- Irradiating a transport doesn't affect the units inside.
- If you Irradiate a biological units, and that unit enters a 
transport, then that unit and all biological units in the transport 
also take damage. The same also applies to Bunkers.
- Irradiate can be removed by Medic's Restoration.
- Burrowed unit doesn't make units invulnerable to irradiation, they 
can be affected by irradiates while burrowing. But when burrowing, 
Irradiate doesn't damage any nearby friendly units.
- Irradiated flying units can deal damage to ground units and vice 
versa.
- Zerg Eggs are not affected by Irradiate, but the new zerg unit 
hatched from the Egg will retain it's irradiated status.
- Units take no damage caused by irradiation if in the Stasis Field.
- Unit that can be Irradiated: All Zerg units, SCV, Marine, Firebat, 
Medic, Ghost, Zealot, High Templar, Dark Templar.
- Before patches 1.08, Irradiate research cost: 150 Minerals and
150 Gas.

1.9) EMP Shockwave
Cost     : 100e
User     : Science Vessel
Range    : 8
Research : Science Facility (200 Minerals, 200 Gas, 120 BT)
Fires an EMP missile that explodes in short 3x3 matrices area. Any 
units or buildings in the area will have its shield and energy reduced 
to zero.
- EMP Shockwave best used on Protoss units and buildings or enemy 
Spell-casters.
- EMP Shockwave can make Archon and Shield Battery become weak and 
almost unusable.
- EMP Shockwave can make cloaked Wraiths and Ghosts visible by draining 
their energy to zero.
- Science Vessel that using EMP Shockwave is immune to its own effect, 
but not the friendly units nearby.

1.10) Yamato Gun
Cost     : 150e
User     : Battlecruiser
Range    : 10
Research : Physics Lab (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 120 BT)
The Battlecruiser can fire an energy blast to targeted unit or 
building, and it deals 260 damage to the target.
- The Yamato Gun has longer range than Battlecruiser sight range.
- Once charged (if not cancelled by special circumstances), Yamato Gun 
will always hit, and can't be avoided even by the fastest unit.
- Once charged, Yamato Gun can't be canceled by EMP Shockwave.
- Yamato Gun can be cancelled if Battlecruiser is affected in Stasis 
Field, Battlecruiser is locked down, or the Battlecruiser is destroyed.
- Yamato Gun can be cancelled if the target destroyed, cloaks, burrows, 
or is in Stasis Field.  
- A single blast of Yamato Gun can destroy a Photon Cannon or Missile 
Turret, but Spore Colony needs two blasts.
- You can select multiple Battlecruisers and fire Yamato Gun 
simultaneously to greatly increase damage.
- Yamato Gun also can be avoided with targeted unit entering a transport
or bunker.
- Yamato Gun can be avoided by use Recall on targeted unit (need very 
precise timing).
- Defensive Matrix can protect units from Yamato Gun, so it only deals 
10 damage (260 - 250). {[email protected]}
- Yamato Gun can also be cancelled by using Mind Control on 
Battlecruiser ready to fire Yamato Gun {[email protected]}
- Before patches 1.04/Broodwar, the damage is only 250.
- Before patches 1.08, Yamato Gun research cost: 200 minerals
and 200 gas.

1.11) Scanner Sweep
Cost     : 50e 
User     : Comsat Station Addon
Range    : Unlimited
Targeted area in map (20x20 matrices) becomes visible for 15 seconds. 
It also serves as Detector in that area.
- You can use shotcut keys for Comsat (Ctrl-#) and use # for quick 
Scanner Sweep.
- You can use Scanner Sweep immediately after the Comsat Station Addon 
construction finished.
- Comsat Station has maximum 200 energy.
- Comsat Station is the most safe scouting tools, use this to check the 
enemy's strategies often and also check expansion sites.
- Comsat Station can be used to detect cloaked and burrowing units 
because it serves as Detector, but don't rely on this too much because 
it only detects for short time.
- Scanner Sweep used on a terrain can be seen by all player (a circling 
blue stars). 
- It's always better to save 50 energy to Comsat Station for Scanner 
Sweep in critical moment.
- Before Broodwar/patches 1.04, Scanner Sweep costs 75 energy.

1.12) Heal
Cost     : 1e per 2 HP healed
User     : Medic
Range    : 2
Medic automatically heals any nearby friendly or allied biological 
ground units. If that unit damaged is in her sight range, she will 
automatically move near that target and heal it until its HP is full or 
her energy is zero, you can command her not to heal if you want to.
- A damaged unit can only be healed by one Medic at a time. Because of 
this, you can't increase the speed of recovery.
- Medic can heal: SCV, Marine, Firebat, Ghost, Medic, All Zerg ground 
units, Zealot, High Templar, Dark templar, and Civilian (for special 
missions only).
- Medic can't heal their wound by herself, but few Medics can heal each 
other.
- Medic can't heal unit inside transports or bunkers. To heal them 
unload the units first.
- Medic automatically heals allied units, and makes her very useful in 
multiplayer games.
- Medics are usually combined with Marines and/or Firebats, so they can 
survive longer and use Stim Packs more often.
- Medic usually be placed in workers area (yours or allied workers), to 
automatically heal them when they're in danger to survive a surprise 
attack.

1.13) Restoration
Cost     : 50e
User     : Medic
Range    : 6
Research : Academy (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 80 BT)
Restoration cures any harmful effects on target unit, except Stasis 
Field. 
- Restoration best used to remove permanent effect like Parasites and 
Blind.
- Although Medic can cure most of area effects, but she can only cure 
one unit at a time.
- Medic doesn't cure automatically, like Heal.
- Harmful effect that can be restored by Medic: Lockdown, Optic Flare, 
Irradiate, Devourer Acid Spores, Plague, Ensnare, Maelstorm, and 
Parasites.
- Medic cannot remove the effects of Defensive Matrix and Stasis Field.
- It is advised NOT to research Restoration when fighting against 
Protoss. What kind of effect do you expect to restore from a Protoss 
player? The researched Restoration only gives advantage to enemy's Dark 
Archons when they steal your medic. {lunarray}

1.14) Optic Flare
Cost     : 75e
User     : Medic
Range    : 9
Research : Academy (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 120 BT)
Targeted unit becomes Blind, their sight range decreased to 1 
permanently (unless cured by Medic). It also loses its detection 
ability (only if it has detector ability).
- If you're facing Terrans, Optic Flare may not be that useful because 
they also have Medics. But if they don't research Restoration, you can 
use Optic Flare to blind their Science Vessel, Siege Tank, Dropship, 
Valkyrie or Battlecruiser.
- Protoss and Zerg can't remove Blind status. But Protoss can Mind 
Control your Medics to cure Blind Status (if you have researched 
Restoration).
- If the enemy uses multiple units, you must blind all of them for 
Blind status to work. So Optic Flare is not useful for 'Rush'ing unit 
(example: Hydralisk)
- Optic Flare is very effective against High Templar, Dark Archon, 
Queen, and Defiler, because they now need other unit to spot for them 
before they can use their abilities.
- Optic Flare is also effective against Carrier, Arbiter, Lurker, 
Devourer, Dark Templar, Reaver, and Shuttle. Because their sight range 
is dramatically decreased. 
- Optic Flare is very useful to use on Overlord, because this makes 
Zerg's Overlord become useless in combat. Science Vessels and 
Observers can be blinded, but not that useful, because Terrans have 
Medics, and Observers are hard to find, easier to destroy than to 
blind.
- Medics with Optic Flare and/or Ghost trying to nuke is a very good 
combo against Zerg's players. Use Optic Flare to blind all the nearest 
or coming Overlord trying to detect the cloaked Ghost, and without 
detector, the Ghost can't be attacked. {lunarray}
- Beside reducing unit's sight range to 1 Matrix, Optic Flare also 
reduces the casting range of these following special abilities: Mind 
Control, Defensive Matrix, Feedback, and Hallucination. Those special 
ability's range are reduced to 1 Matrix. {lunarray} Best use against 
Dark Archons.
- Blinded Drone that morph into a building will make that building has
blind status (the building have 1 sight range) With this, you can blind 
a Spore Colony by blinding a drone which will morph into Spore Colony.

2) Zerg Special Ability
-----------------------
2.1) Burrowing
Cost     : None
User     : Drone, Zergling, Hydralisk, Defiler, Infested Terran
Research : Hatchery/Lair/Hive (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 80 BT)
Almost all Zerg's ground unit can burrow underground, and while they 
burrow, they can't be seen by enemy units until detected. There is a 
little time for a unit to burrow, so sometimes units can't burrow when 
being heavily attacked..
- Burrowed unit can be attacked by Psionic Storm and Nuclear Strike 
even when they are not detected.
- Burrowed unit can only be detected by unit with Detector.
- While Special Ability like Ensnare, Plague, and Stasis Field can be 
used to detect cloaked units, they can't be used to detect burrowed 
units.
- Larva, Ultralisk, and Broodling can't burrow.
- Lurker can burrow even you don't research burrow. And its the only 
Zerg's unit that can attack while burrowed.
- Burrowed units are usually used to scout and guard an expansion set 
or choke points.
- Even if the enemy has a Detector near your burrowed Zerg units, they 
may not see them. The small hole that shows a burrowed unit is hard to 
see, espically on Ash World maps. They can also be hard to click on, so 
you might consider hot-keying them. {[email protected]}

2.2) Parasite
Cost     : 75e
User     : Queen
Range    : 12
Targeted unit that affected by parasites can always be seen by the 
owner of parasite (It serves as reconaissance purpose).
- If parasited units have a cloak or burrowing ability, they always be 
seen by the owner of parasite when cloaking or burrowing.
- If parasited unit has Detector ability, it also serves as detector 
for the owner of parasite. All nearby cloaked or burrowed unit can be 
seen by the owner of parasite.
- The owner of affected unit can detect Parasite in two ways: When the 
unit is selected as a part of group it will have a green border on 
unit's wireframe, and when the parasited unit selected it will display 
"Parasite Detected" in the unit statistic.
- The only way to remove Parasite from a unit is using Medic's 
Restoration or destroy the host.
- Parasited Zerg Drone can remove the parasite by morphing into 
building.
- A few effective targets for parasites are Detectors (Overlord, 
Science Vessel, Observer), Transports (Dropship, Shuttle), Spellcasters 
(Ghost, Defiler, Queen, Dark Archon, High Templar), expensive units 
(Siege Tank, Carrier, Devourer, Guardian, Arbiter, Battlecruiser), or 
Wraith (before cloaked).
- A smart player can used his/her parasited units as a decoy attack, 
pretending he/she doesn't know that the units are parasited.
- If the enemy has a "Hero" they have to keep alive, Parasiting that 
unit is VERY useful. They can't just kill the unit, and if they aren't 
Terran they can't get rid of the Parasite. There are very few times 
this is useful, but every now and then it comes up... {Kaminari11
@aol.com} Note that this only works in Campaign or maps with Use Map 
Settings. 
- Enter your parasited unit to bunkers, shuttles, overlord, or
dropships to hide your parasited unit from your enemy. {lunarray}
- Use Parasites on the NPC creatures that populate the map.  This 
serves as excellent reconnaissance, especially when you get the flying 
pterodactyl-like creatures (Kakaru).  Most people don't think to click 
on them to see the "parasite detected" message and therefore, don't 
realize they're spies. {Jason and Alison Overstreet}

2.3) Ensnare
Cost     : 75e
User     : Queen
Range    : 9
Research : Queen's Nest (100 Mineral, 100 Gas, 80 BT)
Queen releases a sticky fluid to an area of 4x4 matrices, and any units 
in the area become slower in movement (in half) and attack rates (very 
little and almost unnoticed) and last approximately for 40 seconds.
- Ensnare can be used to detect cloaked enemies (but not burrowed 
enemies) like Wraith, Ghost, Observer, and Dark Templar. It can be very 
effective to decloak enemy within the Arbiter Cloaking Field.
- Ensnare can be used on a large group of Marine/Firebat when they are 
using Stim Pack, this will nullify the Stim Pack effect.
- Ensnare fast flying units (Scout), so you can Scourge them.
- Ensnare can be used to fight enemy that use hit-and-run tactics.
- Ensnare doesn't affect Queen who casts it.
- Ensnare can be used for Queen to run by slowing down enemy's Corsair, 
Scout, Wraith, Mutalisk, or Scourge trying to chase.
- Ensnare works really well on Battlecruisers, Guardians, and Carriers. 
The first two are slow enough already, and if the Battlecruiser is 
slowed down, you can try to kill the Battlecruiser before it can Yamato 
you. If you target it right, you can ensnare the Carrier and most of 
it's Interceptors, which is very useful. {[email protected]}

2.4) Spawn Broodling
Cost     : 150e
User     : Queen
Range    : 9
Research : Queen's Nest (100 Mineral, 100 Gas, 80 BT)
Targeted non-robotic ground unit is destroyed and become a pair of 
Broodling.
- Broodlings created by Queen's ability have the same melee and 
carapace upgrade with other ground unit.
- Broodling has 120 energy, and it will die if the energy becomes zero. 
(this isn't affected by EMP Shockwave)
- Prime targets for Broodling are High Templar with Psi Storm, Siege 
Tank, and Ultralisk (the most common units to be targeted by this 
ability)
- There are also a few targets for Spawn Broodling: Enemy spellcasters 
(Defiler, Ghost, High Templar), Air Support Units (Goliath, Dragoon), 
Lurkers, and enemy's expensive units.
- Although this ability can target cheap unit like zergling, it is 
worthless.
- You can create Queens in large quantity, and use hit and run tactics 
with Broodling ability to gain advantage in mid-game (not early and 
late game). {lunarray}
- You can Broodling Zerg's mutated larva/egg {[email protected]}
- Units that are not affected by Spawn Broodling: All air units, Probe, 
Archon, Dark Archon, Reaver, and Spider Mines.
- Before Patches 1.04/Broodwar, the range is only 8.
- Before Patches 1.08, Spawn Broodling cost: 200 Minerals and 200 Gas.

2.5) Infest Terran Command Center
Cost     : None (Need halfly or less damaged Command Center)
User     : Queen
When there is a badly damaged Terran Command Center (had half or less 
HP), a Queen near it will automatically infest it. The Command Center 
becomes Infested Command Center under the Queen's owner control with 
new full HP. This new building has regeneration ability, can fly like 
other Terran buildings, and produces Infested Terran.
- Infested Terran can't hit air targets. 
- Queen will automatically infest any Command Center within her sight 
range, but you can also manually target her to control the Command 
Center.
- Infested Terran is a suicide unit, it deals huge damage (500 damage) 
and has splash damage. It can also burrow and have regeneration 
ability. This fast unit is a good addition, so infest Command Center if 
you have an opportunity.
- In multiplayer games, an allied Terran player usually sacrifices a 
Command Center to be infested by his/her Allied Zerg player.
- Player usually uses a Science Vessel to Defensive Matrix an 
allied/friendly infested Terran.

2.6) Dark Swarm
Cost     : 100e
User     : Defiler
Range    : 9
Dark Swarm cast by Defiler covers 6x6 matrices area. All ground units 
under Dark Swarm are immune to any ranged attacks from ground or air. 
But ranged unit from Dark Swarm can still attack from inside the cloud. 
It lasts about 60 seconds.
- Ranged unit inside Dark Swarm can't attack other unit inside Dark 
Swarm.
- Melee, Splash Damage, and Special ability can still damage unit 
inside Dark Swarm.
- Dark Swarm doesn't protect buildings.
- All flying units have ranged attack (except Scourges and Devourers
which can't attack ground unit), so Dark Swarm is a great tool to 
protect your unit being attacked from air.
- Almost all Terran units use ranged attack, except Firebat and Siege 
Tank in Siege Mode (only splash damage that still deals damage and not 
full damage). So they're very vulnerable to Dark Swarm. Zerglings, 
Ultralisks and/or Lurkers can destroy a whole Terran base if protected 
by Dark Swarm.
- Units that are not affected by Dark Swarm:
Terran Unit: SCV, Firebat, Siege Tank in Siege Mode (Still inflict 
Splash damage), Spider Mine (Inflict Direct and Splash damage)
Protoss Unit: Probe, Zealot, Dark Templar, Reaver, Archon (Still 
inflict Splash damage)
Zerg Unit: Drone, Zergling, Lurker (Inflict Direct and Splash damage), 
Ultralisk, Broodling, Infested Terran (Inflict Direct and Splash 
damage)
- Even though Archon's Splash attack is not affected by Dark Swarm, 
their attack power will be reduced greatly. {lunarray}
- Dark Swarm's best known combo are the Lurkers. Because Lurker has 
ranged splash damage (can attack multiple enemy at once), and it 
is very weak against ranged attack or air attack. {lunarray} 
The other good combos are the Zerglings and Ultralisks.

2.7) Consume
Cost     : None
User     : Defiler
Range    : 1
Research : Defiler's Mound (100 Mineral, 100 Gas, 100 BT)
Consume instantly gives Defiler +50 energy by sacrificing a Zerg unit. 
Defiler can only consume unit within your broods or your teammates.
- Consume will not add energy beyond 200 (or 250 if you research 
Metasynaptic Node).
- The size of unit doesn't affect energy gained, so the best unit to 
consume is a Zergling or a Broodling.
- Hallucination of Zerg's can't be consumed.
- Larva can be consumed, but the Defiler doesn't gain energy.
- You can consume Zerg Egg.
- Consume can be used on burrowed unit.
- With the proper use of Consume, a single Defiler can cast unlimited 
Plague and Dark Swarm. But this requires a good control.
- Consume best used against EMP Shockwave, so the Defiler can recharge 
their energy faster when depleted by EMP Shockwave's ability.

2.8) Plague
Cost     : 150e
User     : Defiler
Range    : 9
Research : Defiler's Mound (200 Mineral, 200 Gas, 100 BT)
Defiler can cast Plague on 3x3 matrices target area. All units and 
buildings in that area are affected by plague. Plague can hit friendly 
or enemy unit/building, it can also affect flying or cloaked units. 
Affected unit/building HP will slowly decrease, 25 HP per second for 
each affected unit/building. If the target has taken a total 300 
damage, the Plague stops. Plague can never kill a unit/building (Plague 
continues but will stop if the unit/building has only 1 HP).
- Protoss's units and buildings can be affected by Plague, but this 
only reduces their HP and not their shield.
- Plague doesn't affect burrowed unit, unless they are affected before 
they burrow.
- Plague is not cumulative.
- Plague on Terran's building is very dangerous, because all Terran 
building are burned down when they're in low HP (below 1/3 HP).
- Terran Medic's Restoration ability is the only way to stop Plague 
when it is in process.
- Stasis Field can also be used to stop Plague process, though it is
not very effective.
- Plague doesn't effect the Defiler who cast it.
- Plague is best used on Terran's building, because Medic can't restore 
the building, while SCV repairing it will cost minerals (it will repair 
as long as the plague effect is still working)

2.9) Acid Spores
Cost     : None
User     : Devourer
Range    : 6 (Devourer's Attack Range)
When Devourer attacks, its attack can cause splash effect (but not 
splash damage). 
Any enemy flying unit in the small area will be affected by Acid 
Spores. Acid Spores are cumulative in effects, each spore increases 
cooldown in weaponry by 1/8th of the original cooldown value. They also 
make the affected units suffer additional damage when being attacked. 
(6 Acid Spores mean +6 damage when attacked). Acid Spores will 
disappear in time.
- A unit can have maximum 9 Acid Spores. Acid Spores disappear one by 
one.
- Devourer's Splash effect doesn't affect friendly units but affect 
allied units.
- Devourer's Splash effect can make cloaked unit visibles. (Or target 
unit visible when cloaked, if it is attacked first before cloaking).
- A unit with high Cooldown (Battlecruiser, Devourer, Valkyrie) will 
suffer greatly because of Devourer's attack. Because 1/8 of their 
cooldown is very high number.
- Devourer's Acid Spore can be cured by Medic's Restoration. It cures 
all Acid Spores on target unit.
- Acid Spore effect can make enemy flying units more vulnerable, 
because 9 Acid Spores can mean +9 damage when attacked. 

2.10) Lurker Aspect
Cost     : 1 Hydralisk
User     : Hydralisk
Research : Hydralisk Den (200 Mineral, 200 Gas, 120 BT)
All of your Hydralisks can morph into Lurkers. Lurkers are the only 
Zerg unit that can attack while burrowed (but can't attack if not 
burrowed). It's also the only Zerg unit who has splash damage.
- Lurker can burrow even you haven't researched Burrowing.
- A new Lurker will have full health even if the Hydralisk who morphed 
to it was badly damaged.
- A newly born Lurker will retain Hydralisk status (Parasited Hydralisk 
will morph into new parasited Lurker).
- Lurker needs 2 supplies each, while Hydralisk needs only 1 supply 
each. So you may need some new Overlords to have some decent Lurkers 
army.
- Lurker attack has splash damage that doesn't damage your friendly 
units, but will damage allied units.
- Lurkers are the only Zerg unit that can burrow when heavily attacked 
(other Zerg unit will cancel burrowing), but Lurker needs more time to 
burrow than other units.
- Any special upgrade to Hydralisk (Grooved Spines and Muscular 
Augments) will not change Lurker speed or attack range, even they are 
born from Hydralisk.
- Before Patches 1.08, Lurker Aspect cost: 125 Minerals and 125 Gas.

3) Protoss Special Ability
--------------------------
3.1) Psionic Storm
Cost     : 75e
User     : High Templar
Range    : 9
Research : Templar Archives (200 Minerals, 200 Gas, 120 BT)
High Templar can unleash Psionic Storm in target 3x3 matrices area. Any 
unit within this area will suffer damage. Its affect all units, 
friendly or not, flying or not.
- Psionic Storm doesn't affect any buildings.
- Psionic Storm deals all unit in the area with 128 damage and ignores 
units' armor and other upgrades.
- Psionic Storm can hit cloaked or burrowing units.
- Psionic Storm can't affect units in Stasis Field.
- Unit inside Bunkers can't be affected by Psionic Storm.
- Unit inside Transport cannot be affected by Psionic Storm, but the 
transport can be destroyed by the Storm, and all units inside will die.
(Thanks to Zack Culver for correcting the mistakes.)
- Psionic Storms aren't cumulative, so casting multiple Storms at once 
doesn't increase damage.
- Psionic Storms can affect the High Templar who casts it.
- You can cast immediately cast Psionic Storm from a High Templar when 
unloaded from a transport, and quickly enter the transport again. 
- High Templar is small enough, so he can hide behind the tree and cast 
Psionic Storm.
- Units with full HP that dies when attacked by Psionic Storm (the unit 
must affected by Psionic Storm from beginning to the end of duration):
Terran units: SCV, Marine, Firebat, Medic, Ghost, Wraith, Vulture, 
Goliath, Dropship, Spider Mine
Zerg units: Larva, Drone, Zergling, Hydralisk, Lurker, Mutalisk, Queen, 
Defiler, Scourge, Broodling, Infested Terran
Protoss units: Probe, High Templar, Dark Templar, Observer
- Units that need 2 Psionic Storms to be killed in full HP: Overlord, 
Siege Tank, Devourer, Guardian, Dropship, Valkyrie, Science Vessel, 
Zealot, Dragoon, Dark Archon, Shuttle, Corsair, Scout, Reaver
- Units that need more than 2 Psionic Storms to be destroyed in full
HP: Ultralisk (4), Battlecruiser (4), Carrier (4), Archon (3),
Arbiter (3)
- One High Templar must cooldown after casting Psionic Storm and before 
casting another Psionic Storm. {lunarray}
- Two or more templars can cast multiple Psionic storm, this can be
used to fight large group of enemy (benefit from larger area, not
overlapping psi storm) {lunarray}

3.2) Hallucination
Cost     : 100e
User     : High Templar
Range    : 7
Research : Templar Archives (150 Minerals, 150 Gas, 80 BT)
Hallucination creates 2 illusions of any unit that can be controlled by 
High Templar's owner that casts this. Targeted unit can be anything, 
friendly, opponent, or even critter. Hallucination units appear just 
like their original units, except the owner who can see the units as 
light blue units. 
Hallucination units are limited into 5 basic commands: move, attack, 
patrol, hold position, and stop. When this unit ordered to attack, they 
look like attacking, but their attack does no damage. 
- Hallucination unit will disappear in 180 seconds (their energy), or 
when they are destroyed.
- Hallucination unit takes double damage from attacks.
- Hallucination unit disappears if enemy units cast special ability on 
them.
- Hallucination unit of Zerg's unit cannot be consumed.
- Hallucination can be used for decoys, to make enemy units attack the 
illusions, while the real unit can perform their duty. (Usually Shuttle 
for transport, Carrier and Arbiter). They can also make enemy units 
fire at the illusions while the real units attack them.
- For cheap scouting, hallucination units are very useful. You can send 
them into dangerous area without fear of losing costly units. You can 
seek enemy weak points, what is their main forces, or just seeking 
their expansion base with free hallucinated units.
- Intimidation is one good tactic for hallucination. An enemy attacked 
by 30 Hallucinated Archons, Carrier, or even 40 Dragoons will be very 
surprised and confused. Just remember too included some real units to 
improve the illusions. while enemy is confused, just use your real 
forces to attack from other direction.
- Hallucinated unit doesn't have any special ability. So hallucinated 
Shuttle can't load or unload units, Observers can't cloak, and Carrier 
can't have any interceptors.
- In single player mission, a hallucinated Dark Templar controlled by 
the computer can not be seen by human player.
- If the unit that had Hallucination cast on it had no regular attack 
(like a Medic, Defiler, or High Templar) then the Hallucination won't 
either. {[email protected]}
- Hallucinated units can't be recalled by Arbiter. {[email protected]}
- Hallucinated High Templars are used to lure enemy's Queen's 
Broodling. {lunarray}
- Before patches 1.04/ BroodWar Hallucination's cost are 125.
- Before patches 1.08 Hallucination's research cost: 200 Minerals,
200 Gas, and 120 Build Time.

3.3) Summon Archon
Cost     : 2 High Templar
User     : High Templar
Two High Templars can meld into single powerful Archon that has 350 
Shields and 10 HP. Archon is powerful and can attack enemy ground and 
air units.
- Use this when you have exhausted High Templar's energy or need 
powerful units for combat.
- When one of your High Templars has a damaged HP, and the other is 
with full HP, the Archon they formed has a full HP. But if two of them 
have damaged HPs, the Archon summoned will also have damaged HP. 
- Archon Summoning can't be cancelled.

3.4) Permanent Cloaking
Cost     : None
User     : Dark Templar, Observer
Observers and Dark Templars have permanent cloaking. They always cloak 
and don't need energy like Terran Ghost or Wraith. Only hallucinated 
Observers and Dark Templars that aren't cloaked. For more information 
on cloaking, look at Cloaking in Terran Special Ability sections. 
- Parasited Dark Templar and/or Observer will lose their cloaking 
ability, only for the owner of parasite.

3.5) Summon Dark Archon
Cost     : 2 Dark Templar
User     : Dark Templar
Two Dark Templars can meld into single Dark Archon that has powerful 
Special Abilities. Dark Archon can't attack, but their ability is 
feared by the enemy.
- When one of your Dark Templars has damaged HP, and the other is with 
full HP, the Dark Archon they formed has a full HP. But if two of them 
have damaged HP, the Dark Archon summoned will also have damaged HP.
- Summon a Dark Archon when your Dark Templars are badly damaged. Just 
find a safe place to summon Dark Archon. 
- Dark Archon Summoning can't be cancelled.

3.6) Feedback
Cost     : 50e
User     : Dark Archon
Range    : 10
Targeted enemy unit that has energy will be depleted. And that unit is 
damaged equal to the energy lost.
- If the targeted unit has more energy than its HP, then Feedback will 
kill that unit.
- Feedback doesn't affect buildings that have energy (Comsat Station 
and Shield Battery).
- Feedback doesn't affect units that have no energy.
- Unit that can have Feedback to use against them: Medic, Science 
Vessel, Ghost, Battlecruiser, Wraith, Queen, Defiler, High Templar, 
Corsair, Arbiter, and Dark Archon.
- Feedback is quite a 'fast spell' (fast animation), you could gain 
advantage by using this against Science Vessel trying to EMP you. Do 
not use this for BattleCruiser trying to Yamato you, it is unaffected 
(feedback only drain it's remaining Energy). {lunarray}
- Kills enemy's Corsair, Wraith, Science Vessel, Queen, Defiler, Ghost, 
Medic, Dark Archon  (if enemy research +50 energy), and/or High Templar 
using only 50 energy (quite cheap) using feedback. 5 Wraith can be 
killed by only ONE Dark Archon. {lunarray}

3.7) Maelstrom
Cost     : 100e
User     : Dark Archon
Range    : 10
Research : Templar Archives (100 Minerals, 100 Gas, 100 BT)
All biological flying or ground units in the target area of effect (3x3 
matrices) will be paralyzed (can't attack, move, or use special 
abilities) for several seconds.
- Maelstrom can be cast to reveal and immobilize cloaked units (Ghosts, 
Dark Templar, or biological units that hide under Arbiter Cloaking 
Field).
- Maelstrom can't be used to detect or used on burrowed units.
- Maelstrom is best used against Zerg, because all Zerg units are 
biological.
- Maelstrom and Psi-storm are good combination, but beware, Maelstrom 
effect are quite fast disappearing. {lunarray}

3.8) Mind Control
Cost     : 150e + All Shields
User     : Dark Archon
Range    : 8
Research : Templar Archives (200 Minerals, 200 Gas, 120 BT)
Dark Archon can permanently control any enemy or neutral units (for 
example: critters).
Controlled unit is permanent and can't be reversed. If Dark Archon 
succeeds in Mind Controlling an enemy unit, it loses all its shield.
- Each unit that is successfully mind controlled will have their own 
supply requirements. (Supply Depot for Terran, Overlord for Zerg, and 
Pylon for Protoss).
- You can control enemy worker (SCV, Probe, Drone), so you can build an 
entire colony with it. But remember they need different supply. With 
this, you can have a maximum 600 units under your command (maximum 200 
units for each race).
- You aren't limited by supply when you mind controlled enemy unit, so 
your supply may be exceeded the supply you possess. But this mean you 
can't produce new units until you have sufficient supply.
- Unit that can't be controlled: Spider Mine, Larva, Scarabs, and 
Interceptors.
- When you are Mind Controlling a transport (Shuttle, Overlord, 
Dropship), you gain control of all its carried units.
- Hallucination Unit will die if Mind Controlled.
- Once controlled, all enemy's command queue will be cancelled (when 
you Mind Control enemy Battlecruiser moving to your base, the move 
command is cancelled). The only exception is Ghost that has targeted a 
spot for Nuclear Strike (you can cancel or continue nukes manually).
- Mind Control transfers any special unit upgrades that an affected 
unit has achieved (but not weapon, armor, and shield upgrades) to the 
player that used Mind Control. 
Example: if you Mind Control an Arbiter with Recall ability, then all 
your existing Arbiters will gain Recall. This also means that you have 
researched Recall ability.
- The only elements that are not transferred when you Mind Control 
enemy unit are the map knowledge.
- Mind Control doesn't override any tech tree you have. So if you Mind 
Control a Dragoon, but you don't have Cybernetic Core, you still not 
able to build Dragoons.
- When you Mind Control a Ghost, if you don't have a Nuclear Silo 
attached to Command Center, you can't use Nuclear Missiles (except when 
you are controlling Ghost while he is targeting for Nuclear Strike).
- Mind Controlled Critters will wander to and fro if they receive no 
order.
- Enemy will still attack your Mind Controlled critters automatically 
(because they're not neutral units anymore).
- Mind Controlled Kakaru will move slower after they are mind 
controlled.
- Mind Controlled Dark Archon will have no mana immediately after it 
mind controlled. {lunarray}
- The only way to revert back Mind Controlled units is to Mind Control 
them again. {[email protected]}

3.9) Disruption Web
Cost     : 125e
User     : Corsair
Range    : 9
Research : Fleet Beacon (200 Minerals, 200 Gas, 80 BT)
Corsair can cast a Disruption Web on target area. All ground units and 
buildings in the area affected by the Web cannot attack. Disruption Web 
will disappear after a while.
- Disruption Web can be cast on defensive buildings (Missile Turret, 
Bunker, Photon Cannon, Sunken Colony, and Spore Colony) to make that 
building unable to attack.
- Ground units inside Web can't attack but can be attacked by enemy not 
in the Web area.
- Ground units inside Web can still move and use any special ability.
- Disruption Web is useful to break out heavily defensive area (Siege 
Tank/Bunker/Missile Turret combos). It can also be used to force a safe 
way in island war, that is usually guarded by defensive buildings along 
coasts.

3.10) Recall
Cost     : 150e
User     : Arbiter
Range    : Infinite
Research : Arbiter Tribunal (150 Minerals, 150 Gas, 120 BT)
When Arbiter casts Recall, all friendly units within target area (5x5 
matrix) will be teleported/transported into casting Arbiter location. 
- Recall affect your units and your team mates' units but not allied 
units.
- Recall can affect other units race (Zerg or Terran), as long as it is 
your own units (or your team units).
- Recall doesn't remove any unit's status. Units Recalled are still in 
their current state (when you recall an Irradiated unit, it is still in 
Irradiated status).
- If Arbiter uses Recall on impassable terrain, only air units that are 
being recalled, all ground units are not recalled.
- Arbiter can't recall unit that in Stasis Field.
- Arbiter Recall ability can be used as offensive purpose. Offensive 
means transport your units into enemy's base for attack. This is best 
used on islands warfare, or to reach hard-to-get locations for ground 
units.
- You can transport damaged units (usually Carrier, Archon, Dark 
Archon, or other Arbiters) back into your base to Recharge their shield 
in Shield Battery.
- Recalled siege tank in siege mode, will siege mode again after 
recalled.
- Traps like Floor Traps in installation maps can be Recalled.

3.11) Stasis Field
Cost     : 100e
User     : Arbiter
Range    : 9
Research : Arbiter Tribunal (150 Minerals, 150 Gas, 100 BT)
All units in the 3x3 matrices area around the point of casting will be 
trapped in Stasis Field for 40 seconds. While trapped, these units 
can't attack, move, use special ability, or being damaged.
- Stasis Field can be used to detect cloaked but not burrowed enemies.
- Units in Stasis Field still gain their energy, and they still 
regenerate their HP (for Zerg) and shields (for Protoss).
- Unit in Stasis Field can't be repaired.
- Stasis Field is often used to freeze a large group of enemies so 
greatly decrease their powers. Example: You are attacked by 30 
Hydralisks. With Stasis Field, you can cut their numbers and paralyze 
13 Hydralisks. Destroying them is now much easier.
- You can also use Stasis Field for protecting your own units. Example: 
Your Carriers are being attacked heavily and almost destroyed and near 
its there is no friendly units to help. To retreat will be too late. 
Just Stasis Field them. The Carriers are safe (they can't be attacked) 
for a moment, while you can send reinforcements to defend.
- Stasis Field also works for High Templars and Dark Archons. If they 
have no energy points left to cast anything and are in danger, then 
cast Stasis Field on them to protect them. They will be safe in there 
and replenish their energy. 
- You can also use Stasis Field to protect you units from enemy special 
abilities like: Plague (wait until the effect is wear off), Psionic 
Storm, Spawn Broodling (if cast before Spawn Broodling is used), 
Nuclear Strike, Irradiate, and other special abilities.
- You can use Stasis Field on enemy workers, this will greatly slowly 
their economic powers.

3.12) Cloaking Field
Cost     : None
User     : Arbiter
All units within Arbiter Ranges are automatically in cloak status. This 
doesn't need energy.
Note: Cloaking Field in this section does not refers Cloaking Field 
belonging to Wraith. What is in a name? by Shakespeare  :)
- Cloaking Field can cloak all of your friendly or teammate units, but 
not your ally units.
- Cloaking Field also works on other unit races.
- Cloaking Field can be cancelled if you Arbiter is Locked Down or in 
Stasis Field.
- For more information on cloaking, look at Cloaking in Terran Special 
Ability section. 
- Arbiter doesn't cloak itself, and two Arbiters can't cloak each 
other. 
- If you Recall a unit under your Arbiter, it will be cloaked. This way 
the enemy can't tell that you Recalled a unit. If you send a single 
Arbiter and the enemy detects under it with Comsat Sweep or sends a 
Detector out, they won't find anything until it is too late.

to mention this in version 1.1 below).

2) Cooldown
-----------
Cooldown is the time between the ending of attack and the beginning of 
another. So the lowest cooldown mean the fastest attack rate. For 
weapon information just read Unit's Weapon on Table 3 below.

3) Weapon's Range
-----------------
Actual weapon's range (in pixel) will be listed here. 
For easy range (in some websites and FAQ, including in Unit Data 
section), just divided the numbers with 32 rounded up. This is usually 
called matrix.
Ex: Yamato Gun range: 320/32 = 10.

4) Score
--------
4.1) Unit's Score
After victory or defeat in Starcraft games, score is always shown.
One of the most complicated score calculation is the unit's score.
Here is the score table for units.
Build means the score achieved when building that unit, and Destroy 
means the score achieved when the player destroys that unit.
This informations is given because maybe in some unofficial/amateur 
tournaments or competition use scores to determine the winner.

5) Brood, Squadron, & Tribes
----------------------------
Below, is the table for the Starcraft (and not BroodWar). In Broodwar, 
the name is almost the same, except for few Terran's Squadron. 
The Green color in BroodWar is a replacement used only on Desert and
Snow tilesets. When you are on Snow, Green replaces White, and on
Desert, Green Replaces Brown. It's there because on the Minimap, White
would be hard to see on the snow tileset, like Brown on desert.
Thanks to "z.f." at {[email protected]} for this information.
Although this information doesn't affect gameplay, but may be you want 
to know it.

Colour   Zerg              Terran               Protoss
--------------------------------------------------------
Red      Tiamat Brood      Elite Guard          Ara Tribe
Blue     Surtur Brood      Mar Sara             Sargas Tribe
Teal     Fenris Brood      Kel-Morian Combine   Akilae Tribe
Purple   Jormungand Brood  Antiga               Furinax Tribe
Orange   Garm Brood        Delta Squadron       Auriga Tribe
Brown    Grendel Brood     Omega Squadron       Venatir Tribe
White    Baelrog Brood     Alpha Squadron       Shelak Tribe
Yellow   Leviathan Brood   Epsilon Squadron     Velari Tribe

Just another info, all Zerg's Brood are named after monsters or evil 
gods in mythology.

6) Animation Height
-------------------
Higher Animation Height, will mean higher elevation. So in table below, 
a Wraith will be on top of a Dropship. This may sound unimportant, but 
it is not. Don't forget, hiding a unit under other unit can be a good 
tactic. (Observers are always in top of Carriers)
The exception is the 19 value, they can't be higher than flying units 
but always higher than any ground units or building.

Anim. Height    Object
----------------------
0               Beacon
1               Floor Hatch, Start Location
2               Larva, Spawning Pool
3               Bunker
4               All other objects that not included in other height
16              Science Vessel, Dropship, Battlecruiser, Overlord, 
                Valkyrie, Arbiter, Carrier
18              Wraith, Nuclear Missile, Scanner Sweep, Mutalisk, 
                Guardian, Queen, Scourge, Cocoon, Corsair, Devourer,
                Shuttle, Scout, Interceptor, Observer, Kakaru, 
                Raszagal, Map Revealer
19              Disruption Web, Dark Swarm

7) Splash Damage
----------------
In Starcraft (BroodWar) there are three type of Splash Damage: Radial 
Splash, Line Splash, and Air Splash. Any unit with splash damage has 3 
value: S1, S2, and S3. 
These values determine the 'far' of area that is affected by splash 
damage from unit's weapon.
In Radial Splash, S1 means how far (in pixel) any unit will be dealt 
with 100% damage from the weapon, while S2 and S3 show how far any unit 
will be dealt with 50% and 25% damage.
Air Splash has same meaning with Radial Splash, but only work in air 
units.
Line Splash is almost the same with Radial Splash, but it only affects
the area between the target unit and the attacker (In other words: "in
the line of fire").
Unit that has Radial Splash damage: Siege Tank (Siege Mode), Spider 
Mine, Psi Storm, and Infested Terran. 
Unit that has Line Splash damage: Firebat, Archon, Scarab, and Lurker.
Unit that has Air Splash damage: Corsair and Valkyrie.
Devourer has special Splash Damage, so it can't do damage to any nearby 
target unit.
Nuclear Missile and Irradiate has special damage adjustment.
In table below, is the value of S1, S2, and S3. 

Unit            S1      S2      S3

Critters are small non-dangerous creatures that roams in Starcraft
maps. Although they don't affect any conflict or war directly, 
they can be used by some smart players. 
Example: Parasiting critters can make the critters scout for you.
Below is the table of the critters data.

15) Patches
-----------
Patches information can also be seen in patch.txt (in your Starcraft 
directory after you install the patches), I include this just for 
convenient info.

Notes: There are some changes in version 1.08 that doesn't mentioned
       in patches.txt, I include those undocumented changes with
       + signs. I also add a table to reflect the stats changes
       (for those who want to knows the accurate stats).

* patch 1.08b
- Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when a damaged morphing 
  creep colony, changed into a sunken colony. 
- Mac ladder maps are now correct. 
- Corrected URLs for KBK. www.kbk21.com {http://www.kbk21.com}. 
- Removed URL for replay FAQ.

* patch 1.08
+ There is a serious bug in the 1.08 patches. When a player morph
  a creep colony with HP below 100 to sunken colony the game
  will crash. 
- Adds support for a new template "Top vs Bottom". This template 
  functions like Melee, with the exception that players in each half
  are automatically allied and share vision at game start, thus 
  removing the "who am I allied with" question (and reducing the 
  amount of clicking done after the game starts). The game creator 
  can move players around between the two sides as needed to assign 
  teams properly. Note that Top vs Bottom only works for games with 
  two sides - if you want to play 2x2x2 games, you will still need
  to use Melee.
- Adds support for Game Recording. When a game is over, there will 
  be a new button "Save Replay" in the victory/defeat screen. If 
  you save a replay, you can watch it at a future date. Replays are 
  saved to the "replay" folder inside your Maps folder. Create a game 
  and pick your replay from the "replay" folder. 
  A replay is always passworded. Up to 7 other people can your 
  your replay game to watch it with you; chat is from the people 
  currently connected to the replay game. Replay files can be 
  transferred to other people automatically (if someone joins your 
  replay game, they get your replay transferred to them
  via the automatic map download facility), or you can copy your 
  replay files (replays end in .REP) from your "replay" folder 
  to a desired destination manually. 
  See www.blizzard.com\starcraft\replay for more information.
- Adds support for gateway selection. You can now specify which 
  Battle.net cluster to connect to. In normal cases, you will do 
  nothing, and you will be sent to the "closest" Battle.net cluster. 
  If you wish to override the automatic selection, you can pick a 
  cluster manually.
- Save Game clarification - the save game window now shows:
    Saving Multiplayer Game
    Save Game Name:  XXX
  in order to avoid the "Saving Starcraft Virus 1.0 to Hard Disk" 
  joke. 
- If you are really clever, you can crush tanks by landing 
  buildings on them. This is the unexpected consequence to fixing 
  a cheeze that allowed players to have siege tanks underneath 
  barracks.
- Better proxy support
- Clearer battle.net messages.
- Updated "Connecting to fastest server" messages to be clearer.
- Ladders maps updated.
- Ladder cheating fix - Ladder map alteration fix (Japanese version, 
  too!)
- Fixed various language translation problems.

+ Have you seen an Archon walking in Stasis Field ? It's a small bug.
  How ? Cast Stasis Field in a merging High Templars.
+ A trusted source indicates that a Reaver can be affected by Acid
  Spores when it's dropped from a transport (very rare, and 
  needs confirmation).

  Create a new map with a Carrier hero and modify its interceptor
  capacity to 10. Try to Lock down when it attacks. 

2) Hidden Features
