Bumping up this thread since it seems like another good one to add to Recommended Threads.

Avoid clumping units with good control powerful advice by skyglow1

Unfortunately its already in there. How you managed to find it from somewhere other then the reccommended threads topic is amazing, as it is probably no longer easy to find.

Or you could have posted in Recommended Threads with a link to this.

Or you could have read Recommended Threads and noticed this was already in there.



(I do have a question though. If you cast outside the range of the unit, and they move there...does it still stay in formation? Or does it all stack then?)

If they start in formation inside the box, they will stay in formation with a move command ( unless they are grouped with units out of the box). If they move there in formation, then they will attack in formation (and cast spells in formation)...what is important is if they are in the box when the spell is cast and not where they were when the spell was ordered to be cast.

Yeah but just note though, that in transit they might not move in formation. They're final positions will be the same, but 1 might take a different route to the other so they aren't parallel if you get what I mean. It doesn't matter matter anyway since they still cast in formation and thats what you want.

you must also have yellow cursor when selecting a location to cast the spell (over terrain) and not a green cursor (over a unit). This is probably why it seemed to work randomly before and people abandoned trying to do it because it appeared so very unpredictable.

Maybe thats where the mini-map Old Time way came into play because you can never select a unit specifically by clicking on the mini-map.



The sky just is, and goes on and on; and we play all our BW games beneath it.

That doesn't really answer my question. There's 3 possible scenarios:

1. I click inside the range of all the units. Good - it will not stack and produce gosuness.
2. I click inside the range of only SOME of the units. Presumably some units move and some don't. Does it still produce gosuness?
3. I click outside the range of all the units. All the units move - perhaps some less distance than others. Does it still produce gosuness?

3. I click outside the range of all the units. All the units move - perhaps some less distance than others. Does it still produce gosuness?


This takes 5 seconds to test in single player.

1. Yes, they don't stack.
2. Ironically, this condition doesn't exist. It's not possible to click in range of some of the group. Since the distance between each unit and its individual target is equal, they are either all in range or all not in range.
3. Again, you seem confused. The distances are equal. So they all move (the SAME distance) and cast in formation. I suppose it might take longer for some units at the back if they get jammed on units in the front.

So, to sum up:
If units start inside the magic box and you cast a spell anywhere, they will move until they are within casting range and cast in formation (not necessarily at the same time if back units got jammed up).
