Thread: Are Roaches tougher when burrowed?

    Yeah I guess the roach will do what the initial concept wanted it to do: be really hard to kill and take damage instead of the more fragile Zerg units like zerglings or banelings. Armor upgrades will be sooo fundamental for roaches, that's great.

    Yes, but at Blizzcon 08 it required the Factory
    I was there; it did not. It did earlier, like maybe at BWWI, but not at BlizzCon08.

    I pulled that from Legacy's own coverage, if you want to argue the point, you'll have to argue it with Gradius and the other mods.

    Nothing against the SCL staff, but that coverage had a few errors that conflicted with other reports.

    Which article does it say that in?

    The stats, yes, because we split up the collection of those b/w 3 sites, but I'm pretty sure the articles themselves were accurate.

    It also calls it the Merc Haven. At BlizzCon08, there was no Merc Haven; the equivalent building was called the "Shadow Ops". It had a different building and everything. Since then, the Merc Compound (seen in BR2) likely replaced it.
