Time for a new Q&A, the most interesting part this week is about the new creep mechanic:

Karune wrote:8. Are the Zerg Sunken and Spore Colonies capable of moving out of the bounds of creep?
Yes, they are able to move and plant themselves outside of the creeps boundary. Keep in mind that all Zerg buildings not in the boundaries of creep will slowly degenerate and eventually die. Creep which moves into an enemy base will also damage enemy buildings at a slow rate as well, allowing for new types ofcreep pushing strategies in StarCraft II.

We also learn more about the Roach's regeneration, and Psi Storm damage:

Karune wrote:A Roach regenerates at a set rate and Psi Storm does a set amount of damage at intervals in the area of effect. Put that Roach under a Psi Storm in the current build for the full duration and the Roach will have approximately 50% of its original health after the Psi Storm is over. With a new upgrade ability at the Hive which allows the Roach to have an even more increased regeneration rate, the Roach will emerge from a full duration of Psi Storm at approximately 80% of its original health.

Using some simple math we can with that information figure out exactly how much damage a Psi Storm does! If you just want the result you can skip this codebox.


So a Psi storm does somewhere between 96-114 Total damage. That is awfully close to the 112 total damage of the original Psi Storm in SC1. With 112 total damage the roach would have 38hp left (42%). Some people have been concerned that the Psi Storm would be nerfed in SC2 since it's much easier to cast, we can't know for sure if that's the case, but Karune's info doesn't rule out an unmodified Psi Storm at least.

As a footnote, with 112dmg Psi Storm the upgrade for the Roach would add about 60% regeneration, bringing the total to 24hp/s. That would let the roach regenerate from zero to full health in less than 4 seconds. That's quite a bit of regen!
