![]() Similarly, the Zerg Ultralisk can now receive speed and armor upgrades. For instance, the Terran Goliath can have the range of its ground-to-air missiles be tremendously increased. A Dark Archon has access to several powerful powers: Mind Control (giving permanent control of the targeted unit), Maelstrom (temporarily rendering all non-mechanical units within the target area unable to do anything) and Feedback (removes from a target unit the amount of energy it has available for special powers and inflicts it this amount as physical damage).īesides the new units, some units already featured in StarCraft can now be upgraded in certain areas. Additionally, in the same manner as two Templars can be merged as an Archon in StarCraft, two Dark Templars can now be merged to obtain a Dark Archon. Their main strength lies in their permanent cloaking, allowing them to deliver their strong close combat attacks unharmed. The Dark Templars, already seen in the original StarCraft are now a producable unit. The Protoss receive the Corsair, an air-to-air unit, which has access to the Disruption Web power (which, once cast, prevents targeted enemy units from firing outside of the web). They also gain the Devourer, after mutation of a Mutalisk, an air-to-air unit, whose acid shots have notably the specificity of temporarily lowering the enemy defense, allowing other units to do increased damage. The Zergs receive the Lurker, obtained after mutating an Hydralisk, which can, and actually must, burrow to attack. They also obtain the Medic, which can heal all non-mechanic units and, through upgrades, can use the Restore (remove all ailments on a unit) and Optical Flare (reduce the sight range of an enemy unit to 1) powers. The Terrans receive the Valkyrie, a craft with air-to-air fighting capabilities. ![]() Fearing for the safety of Earth they sent an expeditionary fleet there to secure it.īrood War brings several changes to the game, altering some gameplay aspects of the game, the most important change being the addition of new units. Meanwhile the United Earth Directorate (UED) have learned of the recent developments in the sector. The Protoss are evacuating what is left of their people from their ruined home world. Kerrigan, a human/Zerg hybrid however wants to take control of the Zerg herself. In an attempt to regain control, a number of cerebrates merge to form a new Overmind. With the demise of the Overmind on the Protoss home world at the end of the original game, the Zerg are left leaderless. StarCraft: Brood War is an add-on for StarCraft (requiring the full version of StarCraft) and a direct continuation of its story. ![]() That's why I said, the term applies to incapacitation and this varies from degree to degree depending on the illness that person has. On the other hand, invalid does not always mean that the person is just incapable to do things and is not so critical. Here, the child does not necessary to have Ryley's tube or Folly's catheter as Doc mentions. Invalid is someone who is incapacitated - not able to perform their tasks because of illness that has brought weakness. That's where the WordWeb definition fits in. She had been a delicate child and her parents had treated her as an invalidĭelicate (n) - (of a person) not strong and easily becoming sick The OLD further explains it in its example: And, I'm a doctor and have come across many such patients with chronic illness (in fact, have worked in hospitals that only take such cases). Contrary to what Doc and FumbleFingers, it is not always necessary that invalid person is so so so sick that he/she is on the deathbed. Now, if you look at both the definitions, you see that the term invalid ranges from someone being assisted by others to walk, eat or do routine activity to someone who is permanently bedridden (as in the last stage of cancers). Invalid (n) - a person who needs other people to take care of them, because of illness that they have had for a long time. Now since there's discussion about the degree of being incapacitated (which makes you ultimately invalid), I'm adding a bit to improve this answer. Having this said, his wife seems to be very sick, in a crucial condition that might have made her incapacitated. Invalid (n) - Someone who is incapacitated by a chronic illness or injury. |
