This is fucking gold, I'm assuming it'll work with Defilers/High Templar etc. as well? Can anyone test if it also applies when a Corsair is attacked by a ground unit (which it obviously can't attack)? I don't have Starcraft available to find out. | ||

I don't think Defilers/High Templars will matter much, because you want them to stay in the battle. You will rarely have them assigned on their own anyway, they're usually in a mixed group. But!! I think if Science Vessels react the same way, this will save alot of vessels moving around the map fo'sho! | ||

One more, (but a weak one, I'm sure many already know this...) Protoss: When a zealot is half way built, this is when you should increase your gateway(s). After one more zealot cycle(beginning of the second cycle), you're gateway(s) should be finished morphing at the same time. This will allow you to have much more efficient macro. Also for the dragoon, you should start morphing gateway(s), when it's 1/3 done building to match the macro cycles. | ||

Mind Control is a smart cast spell. When burowing lurkers above a ramp, burrow them on top of each other when the terran has no tanks, forcing him to wait until one of them dies from irradiate to cast it on the next. Just remember to unburrow them 1 at a time. | ||

I'm not too sure about the saving vessels since it won't work vs scourge  and saving vessels doesn't seem too much of a problem in TvP (more of just getting the emp off in time). Maybe if the Terran goes SK and the zerg goes hydra/lurk though? :o Plague still sucks though lol | ||

Just remember to unburrow them 1 at a time. You definitely stole this from the recent game of I believe Jaedong on Rush Hour III =P. Another few tips: Overlord hovering over lurkers on ramp works as well, because they can't irradiate the lurkers. If you scout a terran going for fast lurkers, hover an overlord over 1-2 drones on your ramp. If you have a sunken colony, and he is trying to runby, he can't focus your drones to get up the ramp. Lurker eggs have 10 armor, and 200 hp: abuse them. Easy walls and blocks when you need them. 8 zergling drops can be extremely devastating (one ovie). To do hold lurkers, group lurkers with an overlord and press hold. When unleashing your lurkers, do not just press stop or attack, focus fire, then queue, or refocus more groups. Focused hold lurkers work so much better than just random firing. | ||

The shift setting a rally for all other miners to mine that patch whenever they finish "get cargo return cargo." But the game actually never ends that command so long as there are minerals to mine, the result being the few workers that are idle start mining, and every other selected worker continues mining without interruption hey thanks for this tip. It seems very useful | ||

To unload a dropship while it moves, click unload (or U) and click on the dropship. I didn't know that. How do Z players do those mass drops where all ovies drop at same time while moving? edit: Thanks for the tip on using patrol for shuttles FConnectionUK. I'll have to try that. | ||

How do Z players do those mass drops where all ovies drop at same time while moving? edit: Thanks for the tip on using patrol for shuttles FConnectionUK. I'll have to try that. Theres 2 ways. One is to send all your overlords to move where you want to drop. As they are close to landing spot you click U with only one select and click over it, repeat for overlords. Basically "clone unload" (but without shift )the other one is to move your overlords separated and click U on the "center of gravity" of the formation. Search TL for it, you will find more. Basically if you have overlords forming an square, you click on the middle of it, depends on how they spread, you can do the same, but its riskier cause if you fail to click on the spot, your lords will clump and drop inefficiently. Imo its better to practice "drop cloning" a lot. | ||
