What do you mean by that? You mean that once they are balled up if you magic box them they will stay balled up or? When I spend a lot of time stacking mutas by spamming right click, they are not 100% stacked. But progamers seem to be able to make them basically appear as 1 muta even though it's 11...was just wondering if there was some pattern or method to that. edit : ah if you are talking about the overlord in the group being far away outside of the magic box, then yes. I mean in addition to that. | ||

If all selected units are within a magic box then the game UI will formation move them, they’ll move the same distance and maintain relative separation among themselves. If they’re not within a magic box then they’ll point move, they’ll all try to climb on top of each other on a single point. That’s why you make groups of mutalisk plus an overlord on the far side of the map. The addition of the overlord ensures no magic box which makes mutalisk treat every move as a point move. | ||

I know about the overlord needing to be in the group. | ||

otherwise you could also group your mutas with a larva first. larva usually gives an easier clump than overlords do | ||

Otherwise mutalisks would stop in motion and you'd stop kiting. So, instead of 6 o'clock to 12, 6-11, or 5-12. Never in a straight back forward motion. That is the best mutalisks can turn in a radius. | ||

Looks like any units +4 range can exploit uneven rectangle geometry of bunkers, but more rounded units might take more range to exploit the +1 bug. | ||
