Posted Apr 22, 2025This is interesting and well done, but i feel as if the infested fortitude. trait should have its exeption changed to fire instead of radient(same with damage vulnerabilities) as blizzard has made infested and other vanilla light untits from the zerg, take 20% more damage from fire that is used in attacks by units such as the terran hellion, or the protoss colossus. Also, i disagree with the term 'zombie' as the scientific zerg virus known as infestatio magna crafted by Amon through the zerg overmind caused victims to become zerg by classifications as a modified version of creep first heads to the stomach then slowly multiplies with surrounding cells, pushing exess up the vegas nerve until it reaches the brain at which point it corrupts the cranial cortex and replaces it with a hivemind section that makes it officialy zerg, whereas a zombie is a dead body being brought to life with no memory of its life before, and no way to make new memories. in conclusion, it would be more true to call it a zerg.
BTW: sorry for all the criticism and i really love this build and i am exited that you are merging two things that many people love.

Posted Apr 23, 2025You are correct, I totally missed the zombie tag in infested fortitude, I'll freely admit I copied the zombies Undead fortitude trait to get the wording right and absolutely missed the corrections.
Fire weakness is a good point but vulnerability to fire is I think a step too far, I'll have to think on that for the light Zerg units.
By all means critique away, I welcome it.
