In the Beta; Ask a Q, get an A

The Overseer is a detector, and it can drop a Changeling for 50 energy, which will transform into a Marine, Zealot, or Zergling depending on the first enemy race it sees. The transformed unit will appear friendly to the enemy and can be used to scout.

Can a spine or spore crawler root itself on a ramp since it allows creep to be on the surface?

Nothing can be BUILT on ramps.

Therefore crawlers cannot root on them.

Can't "build" anything on the ramp itself. The creep being there is for aesthetics.

Lol I thought so...sry I had to ask I was bored ;p

Can you set units to follow a group (issue the move command and target a group instead of a unit)?

What happends if you have units without attacks in a group, and you order the group to attack-move? For example: Observers in the same group than Stalkers.

For the last example, what happends if you Blink? Do the Observers try to move at Blink's destination, or they hold still until you issue the group another command?

Units that can't attack have an ability called "Attack scan". I haven't looked at how that specifically works, but basically they'll follow your units.

No, they won't move to the blink's destination.

Thanks for the answers.

Now that i think about this, in BW they moved to the attack point, when grouped with combat units.

If ground units must avoid terrain, the Observers will still move in a right path, or they follow your units literally?

They will not move with your troops. They will go on the most direct path.
