Very nice series! Maybe having some ennemy units to shoot at would be nice. I believe you can do that by taking control of a replay, ennemy units will be idle if you want to take your time and don't do a game against AI :) Looking forward to the zerg video! they're really great to go over everything again.
@@glamodrama287 great thanks! Also how do the shield upgrades work for Protoss and how do armor upgrades work for everyone? Is each armor increase a flat damage reduction for each unit and is each upgrade the same or do they get better in later tiers?
@@lifegripAll good questions. So, armor works as flat damage reduction against anything but spell damage. Naturally, that makes armor very strong against rapid, low damage attacks, and very weak against slow, high damage attacks. Every armor upgrade in the game (except for Chitaneous Plating for Ultralisks, but that is a unit-specific upgrade) increases the armor of target unit type by 1. Ground armor and air armor for protoss only give +1 armor to the hull part of protoss, the one that cannot regenerate. Shield upgrades give +1 armor to the shield part of every single protoss unit and structure, which sounds very powerful, but it is situational. Usually, not only for protoss but for every race, attack upgrades are the safest bet. The reason is that, as I mentioned, armor upgrades only ever give +1 armor, while attack upgrades give about 10% bonus damage (way more with Marines, Zerglings and Reapers), which is very often more than +1 damage. Every level of an upgrade gives the exact same amount to a unit as the other two levels, but as mentioned many units benefit differently from attack upgrades. If you wanna play protoss, a very safe bet regarding upgrades is to get +1 and +2 ground weapons, then +1 armor or +1 shields depending on how many Zealots VS Archons you are making for tanking. Then usually you get +3 Ground Weapons and then you can max out on upgrades slowly if the game goes that long. And if you want to make Carriers, Air Weapons is an UNGODLY powerful upgrade. Chrono Boost it often! You can also go for double Forge or Cybernetics Core and produce two upgrades at a time, though that usually isn't neccesary because of Chrono Boost.

Thanks!
I can feel the dread in your voice as you start describing cheese units
The another video I need!
Woo waiting for zerg!
People will judge you.. 😂😂😂Im dead
Can Phoenix pick up a Sieged Siege Tank or a Thor or Ultralisk or Archon?
They can't pick up units that are "Massive". So yes, no, no and no

Yes to the siege tank. No to Thor, Ultra, Archon.
