Hello. In vods i watch, protoss player always manage to keep his goons away from opponent units, but still in range to shoot. Is it pure micro (i.e he moves his goons perfectly and always click on the enemy he wants to shoot at) or is there a state in which to put your goons so that they shoot as soon as a unit is in their range? (i tried to press A and click behind enemy, but my goons then come closer to my enemy). Thx in advance. | ||

If you dont expect them to come, get close to them and the goons will see the enemies and attack from far away, I think. | ||

whenever you see a progamer's goon walk forward before shooting at a target moving towards it, you know he missed | ||

If one is out of range (and you only have like 4, so one not shooting makes a difference), just make it move towards the other troops individually... | ||

I find it quite difficult to pull off vs speed zealots though, one of the occasions where the faster patrol reaction time makes a real difference i guess.... i can't really imagine that patrol has a faster reaction time... :O i usually use move + attack in the direction i want my goons to move, or sometimes move + manual attack on the enemy's units (i dont use right click here,but a + select unit as a misclick can really cause things to fuck up once your goons start to move in the direction of the enemies without shooting ^^) | ||

When I use hold and the enemy is coming my goons freeze! that sucks :S If u move and attack, any enemy that get closer to them is targeted and no freeze-shit happen Only if you are slow enough. You can freeze goons with any command sequence , as long as you're typing them fast enough .... Let me guess you are below 150 APM ;-) | ||
