1) Select medivac 2) Hit 'H' (or whatever your hold position key is.) This will stop the stupid medivac from running away if it gets shot. 3) Wait for the tank to have the stalkers shoot at it. Right click the tank with the medivac selected. 4) Hit 'D' (or whatever your unload key is.), and click on the medivac. You may need to spam this step (for some reason, if found it didn't always register) 5) Repeat steps 3-4 until stalkers are dead. If your medivac is about to die, let the tank take a few shots. Make sure to unload medivac if you see it's doomed. Good luck! | ||

Thanks, got it now  . Also, I mixed up 12 and 16 (twelve is the one with the infested terrans and the siege tanks, 16 is the fungal one.I only have 27 to 30 left to finish. The videos posted in here were helpful too on a few of the trickier ones. Anyone else feel like the "warp/reset" buttons are way too huge and constantly get in the way where they are? | ||

i even find it harder to go with hold position. you just need good timing so the stalkers will at least 2 at a time hit at your tank which you should be able to avoid | ||

First 28 were reasonable for my platinum ass, and I've not tried 30 much yet but it looks doable, but I have no idea how to do 29 without 3 times the APM requirement for any of the other challenges, which seems excessive. It's 28 that I'm biting my teeth out on, so close to throwing the computer out of the window, argh! (tried it like 40 times now... it's running way too fast, even with stim). | ||

I also spent a good 45 minutes to succeed in the banshee challenge, but never had the impression that it was impossible, only unforgiving. Banshee ones do able but you have to understand it if you know what I mean.

After sniping the initial 3 banelings you get a small window, to pull to the corner and stim. It's more APM intensive, but that's the point. Was a lot of fun though, I only wish the portrait required beating all 30. Oh well, I have the achievement though. | ||

I got the baneling mirror at first try, I just aclicked randomly my banelings while sending lings back and got more lings in the end without any micro, seems kinda random. The 3ghost and marines you have to put everything to the edge, hold R and click the banelings as they come, it becomes easy if you press R. I still don't know how the 12 is supposed to be played, I don't understand where the eggs have to be thrown T.T | ||

The only level I skipped was 12. I couldn't figure out the strategy with the ITs but I nailed it eventually. For the rest, the banshee level, 3 rines vs 2 zealots and of course the final level were hard. It's mostly patience and practise. Would love to see more of these maps... oh and too bad the portrait isn't awarded after clearing all 30 levels... would have made more sense to me.. | ||

The other method posted before was to take both marines (the two on the left and right) and take them to one control group. Once it starts, they automatically gain agro of the zealots and, if you run them in good circles, you should be able to beat the level. The first one just takes more micro management. | ||

I had the most trouble with the friendly fire one and also the phoenix/ht/stalker one. I also learned how to micro tanks in dropships and banshee kiting (which I never knew since I play protoss). A diamond and above player should have no problems beating the whole thing in under 2 hours. I personally did it in 1 hour 45 minutes (mostly because I was stuck on friendly fire one for like 15 minutes.) | ||

Edit: again, in the morrow's micro race map, the dropship level is actually one of the earlier ones instead of the last level, except you have 1 medivac and 2 tanks vs 5 stalkers, and is much harder as you have to micro 2 tanks instead of one. Uhh, the lagg seriously makes this unfun. I'm way too used to d clicking the medivac the instant i click the tank in but it simply doesn't pick up the tank fast enough. | ||

I had to spend so much time on that challenge alone because the command in step 4 simply didn't register because of what I assume was latency. I was getting really frustrated but yes, that's the best way to do it. | ||

For instance the one where you run away from zealots with a few marines, which is exploiting the AI in a way that would never happen in a real game. Almost all of the challenges are like that, they will only teach you to beat a computer. | ||

These kinds of things come up all the time in the game. Anyways I thought it was way too easy, kind of dissapointed. 27 is killing me There is no trick to abuse. My micro simply isn't good enough to kill 7 marines with one uncloacked banshee You have to get into a sort of 'groove', but basically you should be matching the speed of the marines walking. Only time you stop shoot-scooting is when you have to turn. | ||

The PvT one is quite simple if you feedback the two PDDs, then shift-queue back and merge into an archon. Then you can lift the tanks and kill everything. | ||

For example, the siege tanks might focus down a high templar instead of splitting their damage onto the stalkers, same goes for the two vikings that MAY focus down one of the pheonix. It's pretty dumb. | ||

Usually don't like this stuff.I was like meh- but decided to try it out. LOL about 2 hours later I had all 30 done. I mean, I didn't do anything else, I was amazed how much it sucked me in. Props to Blizzard for making such a fun game, that is indeed VERY useful to all sorts of players. The scenarios really give you a sense of what can be done with good micro. vs just standing there and watching. The majority of my time was taken up by "micro insanity" (the feedback PDD one with tanks) and the Ghost sniping one. My mouse is not my strongpoint- so I had to really buckle down to click those banelings. Welldone Blizzard! Everyone I know is very interested in this game. | ||

If you issue the feedback command first, they stagger and the second one will take 2 rips. | ||

1. Before you click ready hit Ctrl+Shift+F, the camera will follow the banshee making it more about micro and less about camera placement. 2. You aren't trying to Gosu full hp banshee micro. Your goal is to, when you fire at marines, only 1 or 2 marines fire back. 3. USE HOLD COMMAND TO KEEP BANSHEE FROM STOPPING THEN GOING TOWARD MARINES TO ATTACK. This is seriously the most important tip. If you can get it so your banshee does a 180 no scope then keeps moving your golden. | ||

I guess I'm to old and slow for those. What I like about this mod is that it finally has some really tough challenges, compared to the standard challenges. EDIT: 1. Before you click ready hit Ctrl+Shift+F, the camera will follow the banshee making it more about micro and less about camera placement. Woah, this tip is gold. I really had problems with the camera on that one. | ||

Try playing Morrow's Micro Race, there you have to do some tougher challenges, for example the Banshee against the same amount of Marines but the Banshee has only half health and you have less space to fly around. I did the Banshee challenge on the first try. | ||

1) microinsanity: the tip suggests to graviton the tanks, but it's better to graviton the marauders, in particular: - feedback both point def drones, and merge into archon - graviton both marauders - while tanks shoot the morphing archon, move stalkers in and blink them into both tanks, so that the tanks also blast each other while attacking the stalkers - refresh graviton on marauders when they expire - tanks die, kill marauders, then kill vikings (let the archon tank) 2) banshee micro: both the tip and many videos suggest to alternate move and attack actions. I've found alternating move and hold to be much faster and safer: just let the bashee turn and shoot, then move again. If it doesn't shoot, you made it move again too fast; if it doesnt turn, then you hold it when marines were too far away. Remember to make big circles so that marines need to get around the stones in the ground 3) medievac tank: latency be damned... too often the drop action + left click on the medievac isn't registered correctly. It's natural to right click the tank, wait a bit, then d+click, but it's better (lag-wise) to click the tank, waita an istant, push d, wait an istant, click the med. This mission is still a bitch anyway. 4) 3 marines + 2 zealots: move the two side marines up to the same spot, and group them together. They'll get a single shot from the zealots, but that's fine. Than just make them move in a big circle around the third marine, and avoid passing too close to him. Quite easy done this way. | ||

There are only three times the Banshee should ever get hit: A) You issue the hold-position (or stop) command to close to the marines. The banshee takes a few hits before you fly it out of range. B) The banshee temporarily flies within range of the marines while circling the area. And C) Surprisingly, if you issue the hold-position (or stop) command too far from the marines. What happens here is that players will sometimes wait for the Banshee to shoot before flying it away. This is a mistake. If you allow the Banshee to come to a full stop, it will need to accelerate back to its full speed. It will take a lot of damage before it escapes the marines. | ||

Hope they'll continue to bring these awesome maps. I like StarJeweled and the other ones 2, but this one was just plain awesome. | ||

I wish they'd include more real-game style micro challenges to. Like going "x" marines vs lings (or the reverse) or something like correct tank placement for a zerg wave. | ||

Really fun map though. I'd love to see someone do the 3 marines 2 zealot one, IF the AI of the zealots was smart enough to keep switching. | ||

Maybe replace some banes with zerglings aswell and gz on 1k posts | ||

Try playing Morrow's Micro Race, there you have to do some tougher challenges, for example the Banshee against the same amount of Marines but the Banshee has only half health and you have less space to fly around. I did the Banshee challenge on the first try. I'll try this. In the meantime, I did beat the banshee level | ||

Back at release they used to appear on starcraft2.com but they removed them relatively quickly. | ||

This giant un-hideable UI really pissed me off on the banshee micro map specifically, as it forced me to scroll the screen around like crazy. | ||

Plus my skills with the editors stops at making cliffs | ||

This giant un-hideable UI really pissed me off on the banshee micro map specifically, as it forced me to scroll the screen around like crazy. Press Shift-Ctrl-F to make the cam follow the banshee automatically. | ||

Did wonders for me. What does this setting actually do? I finally beat them all, but some of them (18 and 27-30) took me forever because I don't think all my commands were registering. For example, in 30, I can fire up a metronome and right-click D-click right-click D-click at 58 bpm with zero problem, but if I try that in game, often the unload command won't work, and I'll have to try hitting D+click two or three times before it actually unloads the tank, and so my medivac was taking 2-3 full rounds of stalker fire when it should have been one. Is that a latency problem, or an input lag problem, or am I somehow not clicking properly? I'm pretty sure my accuracy is fine at low speeds (50-100 apm)... | ||

I'd love to see someone do the 3 marines 2 zealot one, IF the AI of the zealots was smart enough to keep switching. I did it a completely different way than most people. instead of moving in 2 circles, I stutter step and kill 1 zealot (I end up with 3 full health marines done perfectly, but usually I take damage on 1 marine). So 3 marines vs 1 zealot even if you change targets It'd be pretty easy. | ||

Clearing cache hasn't helped - and Blizzard Customer Service haven't been able to offer any further suggestions than that. Does anyone know of any way I can contact the map creator (Zabbad)? Thanks. | ||

What did the trick for me: I couldn't really time the unload. Whenever I unloaded one or two stalkers would target the medivac and one or two would target the tank. Reloading the tank resultet in the next shot going for the medivac and the medivac dying to early. So what I did was dodge every 2nd shot instead of trying to dodge every shot which worked like a charm. You just need to stay calm and not get hectic. | ||

Zabbad, who is that? Are you sure you're trying to play the correct map (the one discussed in here states 'Blizzard' as the author in-game, not Zabbad). Go to multiplayer, click on join custom game and then select the map named 'StarCraft Master v1.0' where the popularity bar (usually green) was replaced by a Blizzard logo. In the details of that map, make sure it says 'by Blizzard'. | ||
