Brood Lords: I called it!

When the BL has 2 Mantalings behind it, it does do double damage when it throws them. So the first shot from BLs will be more powerful than the second.

So what do you think about the Broodlord and it's role in the game. I've only noticed that it's cost has been dramaticaly increased.

I never got to Hive tech in any of my games. Somehow, I've managed to gravitate towards 2-3-base mass Hydralisk builds that end (one way or another) on Tier 2.

The cost of BLs only went up because the cost of Corruptors went up. BLs should be pretty powerful. Certainly moreso than Ultralisks who got absolutely crushed by the Nerf Hammer.

I've just been using ultras mostly. First time I used them two upgraded ultralisks just completely trampled over about 40 marines o.O

So far what i've noticed is if you can take air dominance mid game -- you can just morph them late game to strengthen your army -- and they are pretty usful!

Of course this is subject to change when people figure out builds but I really like one of the best anti air units turning into a great ATG units --- Once you have full air control you can take control of the ground haha
