Unlike goon/archons in pvz mid-late/late game that you keep alive forever thanks to shield regen and zealot tanking the damage. Another important point: it's also 20 extra hp remaining after an EMP. Another point is they can survive a yamato. | ||

step 2 select something else. step 3 hold alt and click on one of the units you boxed with it will select every unit you boxed with. | ||

I didnt notice it until 2006, and I played the game since 1998.Umm... I don't know that this could possibly be true...Since you could rally with right click rally since the SC Demo version where it was only TvT... edit: and it *was* a patch that added it, not the b.net version. | ||

If you don't know this then you need to rebuild your control groups from scratch every time new units pop. Or if there is another way to add units to existing groups, this thread is the perfect place to mention it. Anyone? ^^ | ||

I really like this trick! Should work with all spellcasters right? | ||

You can "ping" on the minimap in 2v2 games (I think it's alt+click). You can use the move command on an unit and put it on another unit - and it will follow that other unit (although a bit slow). It's useful for observers and overlords, especially in 2v2 when you want your units to follow ally's units. Infested terrans die when you attack move (at the spot where you ordered them to attack). You can set rally point to a nydus canal. You can EMP comsat stations, to make the opponent lose scan for some time (I think this happened in some TvT where one player massed wraiths) When a dropship/shuttle/overlord with units inside is flying somehwere, you can click on the units in it, so they will drop, but the dropship/shuttle/overlord will keep flying.

This reminded me about all the discussions about Protoss being the weakest race, when all they did was zealots and dragoons and usually forgot observers... you needed Bisu for the "revolution". I cringe every time I still see a protoss forget obs timing though.

. If it makes you feel better right click doesn't work if you install from disks. You have to get the bnet update first.
