melee charm fake

Yestrday I was playing one of the melee maps vs 7 insane cpu players (i won ;D) and I had the hero ranger with the charm ability. My research-percentage was about 50%, and i chrmed a unit of the same race (NE), whose orignal owner had an non-armor-damage-upgrade (like stormhammer or cloud of fog) which I had not had at that time. So, by magic, I suddenly had researched it, and I is not the initialy sense of charm to adept upgrades.
Just wanted to inform everyone.

I knew it... I did that once, I had DR lvl 7 and like 6 chimaeras, I charmed one of my enemy chimaeras and all my chims got corrosive breath

omg h4x.. interesting that blizzard wouldnt see that. should the units be kept seperate in terms of upgrades, or should one charmed unit with an upgrade effect multiple other units without?

what's more fair?

Thats awesome, she's my new favorite hero.

Huh? You didn't know that researches from other player units are automatically researched when you charm them?

So, not only are you stealing their unit, your also "stealing" their upgrades!

I just realized it at that game.

That is cool.

Assuming you build the upgrade while you charm the enemy unit, I presume the upgrade gets canceled without a refund...

Also, this must only work on players of the same race, no?

Yes, only same race and (if you did not modify the gamplay constants) only non-waepon and non-armor upgrades.

Upgrades will only work for units that have those upgrades available!
Check object editor for which upgrades can do for which units.

Cool, i never knew that. BTW, if you wish to beat a dark ranger or far seer or any summoner hero, I recomend Get an orb, they do +300 damage to summoned units, every attack! The orbs are also good if you are fighting undead, because it makes necromancers almost useless, unless they kil your hero.

Only the lightning orb does extra damage to summoned units, but only at a chance of 33% per attack. Other orbs have other effects, like AOE damage, poisioning, armor corrupting etc.

Oh, right, I thought it was all orbs. Lighting is my favourite then.
