I created a map to practise some simple devourer micro. Maybe you can use this skill some time.

Group the 9 Devourers with a larva and kill the 30 corsairs guarding the Nexus.

[url blocked]

A few pointers:

-It's just like muta micro.
-Snipe one corsair and run away until you can shoot again. The sairs should not be able to catch you.
-Get used to the cooldown period.
-If a single sair is following you, you can use hold position to easily kill it.
-If you do it correctly, your devourers never stop moving, just like with mutas.

This should take under 4 minutes, it's pretty easy.

Good Luck!

Okay playing and toying around a few minutes ive found a few things out

1. Patrol is MILES easier than hold in all positions
2. Devouerers can move while attacking
3. to do this
3a. Patrol twords the target but do not click until they have attacked
4. Dead corsair

Note* If you move them before the attack it'll cancel it and you'll be forced to wait for cooldown.

hope it helped

greatmap thx

I was never aware that devourers needed any micro... nor am I now.

cool map, nice submit.
i was thinking about making a few micro maps myself. I will post them if i ever get around to it. (probably sometime this week). if anyone is looking for a certain unit to micro give suggestions.
i was thinking a maybe muta/scourge, valk/gol, mnm micro, or reaversair or something.

This is definetaly interesting. I'm not even a zerg player(and, even when I use zerg, I rarely ever control these mighty flying beasts) but I'm still going to play this because it's so strange.. devourer micro? XD

i know this doesn't really apply to this map that much, but if the corsairs were chasing you, would it be easier to patrol micro the devourers like in muta vs scourge? or does that not work with devourers?
