Rescue a unit

What does it mean to rescue a unit? I saw it in some triggers, but I cannot understand it. Please explain it to me

+REP

If you have played Warcraft 2, there would be times when you would stmble across some random units - generally a color like yellow or teal - that when you approach them they would join you.

Basically, they are neutral players/units that don't fight or act on their own, and the player who "rescues" them first they will join.

A player can be flaged as Rescueable in the Player Properties. As mylemonblue mentioned, those units will change owner to the first player that gets close to them. You might have seen that there is triggers as well, making units "rescuable"

The term "rescue" probably comes from what kind of campaign scenarios you'll find these units, in Warcraft, maybe even more in Starcraft, and in other games as well. Very often there is a base under siege or some units in a prison or a trapped situation, that rewards you by joining you if you can reach them!
