Here's a rep where I have a couple observers floating around many expansions on a single patrol route, the one on the left side of python scouts all 7 bases on the bottom/left side of the map. I also send a few vultures on somewhat circular routes through the center. I want to say this is extremely easy to perform and is actually useful in melee modes as a single observer or overlord is now not limited to straight back and forth paths and can be sent to cover much more ground. This improves scouting for sure. | ||

Some situations this could be useful: - Air units patrolling (against possible drops/recalls etc) especially in island maps. - 1 observer patrolling 3 or more expo sites. - Making your idle SCVs running around your mined out CC to mind fuck your opponent lol. Holy shit, I'm going to teach this to every 2v2 partner I get from now on, and if we're winning, we'll just make our miners circle around the map while we hardcore micro vultures/mutas/bunkers/things that can't even move. | ||

Lol.. Because if he was, he'd obviously already been doing this for years. | ||

I did it by chance ; I sent some scourges ( attack ) , then told them to patrol afterwards ( I must have clicked several times ) : I saw the "multi patrol" but I didn't know how I had done that, and I didn't really care ; afterwards I wanted to know how it worked and I found it a few days later ^^ ( I knew I had used only "simple" commands ) | ||

Nice finding. Why did it have to take you 11 years since release to find out about this, though?  | ||
