Template talk:UnitBox

The baseunit entry is often used "wrong". In some places, it represents the "parent" unit (eg the overlord is the "parent" of the overseer). However, the parent entry itself is confusing. (Parent from or parent of?)

In other cases, it represents the "base" unit for a hero (eg a Hunter Killer's base unit is hydralisk). This can get confusion, especially in Mercenary style maps using heroic units like Kukulza, or in StarCraft II, where the new map editor would allow NPC units to transform into other NPC units.

Clearly, baseunit can't serve both purposes. Whatever we decide, clarification should be put into the template documentation, then we can find the templates and fix them. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) 02:47, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
