challenge 2.8: does deleting your own units count?

[TimmieTuinbroek]

I cant find any discourse on this (I might be blind), and I don't want to find out after a long run where I would be close to making it that it doesn't count.. 

Also, do the units summoned by sunken temple count?

Deleting your units absolutely counts, its literally killing them after all. I believe Sunken Temple also counts (similar to other summons), but don't quote me on that. 

This was posted in the hotfix changes on Discord:

Change what's considered as unit dying (challenge 2.8):What counts as dying:

- Lethal damage from units, buildings and spell
- Sacrifice abilities
- Timed death
- Manual sacrifice
- Mind controlled enemies dying

What won't count:

- Transformation (Twilight)
- Nightguard control swap
- Parasite Swarm mind control
- Bandit Sorceress entering building

Is Parasite Swarm an exception? The description reads: "Activate to gain permanent control over a hostile unit but kill Parasite Swarm"

What about Woodland Watch? That description also reads "The unit will die in the process".

Parasite swarm taking over a unit does not count as death, but if the taken over unit dies, it counts.

Woodland Watch falls under sacrifice abilities, it counts.
