Hold lurker is better done by pressing "a" then left clicking on an enemy building that is under fog. This works 100% of the time so its very reliable. Press stop when you want them to attack.

seige tank + ground unit vs hidden unit (DT, Lurker)

run ground unit near, or over the hidden unit and use the tank to attack your own unit causing splash damage on you and the hidden unit.
same concept works with reavers.

building a pylon to clip a probe through a mineral line or terran wall-in or neutral building.
unloading a dropship while moving is of course done by unloading all onto the moving dropship or magic boxes for multiple dropships.
magic box use for chunjji storms as i suppose they're called or other things.
upgrading air attack to fake upgrading goon range pvt to save a bit of extra gas on the cancellation after the scout leaves.
emp+nuke kills nexus in one hit.
why did i post here?

What if the Terran lifts off the building and lands it next to your lurker? WHAT THEN HUH!?

nah nothing will happen. In the Fog of war you still see a grey Rax. The grey rax won't go away untill ur units go to that location.

LOL even if that did work you'd have to lift every single one of your buildings :p
O wait, you can just share vision w/ him briefly! Wow that's ingenius!

Wouldn't you need to lift every building just in case though? I'm pretty sure that even if the rax is still landed and he can see it that the lurker will stay in hold position.

Nobody even mentioned the fact that you can wall a ramp or whatever with hold position on your workers if you have any other unit selected in the group. Same with patrol as was mentioned. You could say the stronger unit assumes the commands of the group.

The thing that this doesn't work for though is the fact that you can't press "A"ttack or "P"atrol when you have lurkers unburrowed in a group of other attack units. Which blizzard [i]needs/i] to patch because that really pisses me off when im caught offguard with a bazillion lings, hydras, and lurkers all ungrouped/mixed up with fresh rallied units or whatever. Same goes for vessels and medics for that matter.

Seems like it would be a simple patch to me.

you guys are forgetting mass rax rush, you drop like 10 barracks in his base and make a square with them, fill the square with rines and then unleash them upon the enemy! and as stated in a previous thread, my ultralisk stack move.

How do you speed drop a large number of dropships at the same time.

I have seen pros do it. They unload the units in their dropships one at a time while moving at the same time..
For one dropship, this is done by clicking "unload all" on top of the dropship.

But is there any simpler way to use this same technique but with more than one dropship? Without having to click "unload all" on every individual dropship?

Two additional splash tricks.

-Since shots from siege tanks are displaced under swarm. Targetting units behind the ones you want to kill, hits everything in front of it.

-No archon but harassed by lurkers? Target units on top of burrowed spot with reavers. Pick up with shuttle before scarab arrive. Even better than Tank splashes .

Theoretically clicking unload all, then clicking the exact center of all the dships while they're moving... would do it.

However, once you get quite a large number, it's very difficult to find the exact center (unless you stack them all or something, but that's dangerous... >>;;

So most pros just do the unload-click for each transport as fast as possible, which is pretty fast :x
