In fact you can select ALL your workers and plop down 2 supply depots. 2 workers will leave your mineral line and build'em. (I like to select 2 workers only because that way I can also shift-right-click them back to minerals without all the other workers clumping up on that mineral patch). Haven't really seen any streamers build like that so I thought I'd blurp it here should work with a bigger group, I've been grabbing 6 or 7 workers, building a few pylons or supply depots or w/e, then shift clicking back to the minerals, because the other workers are in "mining mode" it seems they will just continue to mine until thier patch is done then they might swarm, but it doesn't affect them initially atleast. Will have to double check that this works this way. Also you can shift build buildings, so if you want only one probe to build 10 pylons you can shift click shift click shift click and queue them all up, to return it seems to get stuck in the build menu but you can hit esc, or click on the unit again, and then shift back to the mineral line, that also works nicely. | ||

To return, just let go of shift then press it again to shift-click your minerals. | ||

Just left-click to destination then press shift+E and the tank will siege when it gets there. That would be awesome in sc:bw I thought you could do that with tanks in SCBW? Well you could do similar things with some units anyways, lurkers or something. | ||

I think it happens when there is not enough space available around the unit you attacked for every zergling to attack it at once. So instead of them standing in the back waiting, they just attack something nearby. | ||

So instead of them standing in the back waiting, they just attack something nearby. I've been having this problem with lings, hydas, and mutas. I read the control attack move thing but I'm just moving them away from the enemy and sometimes they go where I tell them to for a sec then turn back and start attacking the enemy for some reason. I then have to frantically click for them to retreat a million times so they actually retreat. Also sometimes a stray drone will not follow the economy rally point and go to where I set the military one. This only happens sometimes early game before my second ov comes out I think. Another thing is that sometimes a random ov will start heading straight to the enemy base and I have no idea why this happens, but it has only happened twice that I know about in about 200 games. | ||

Cause hunter seeker missiles move so slowly they can't even catch up to a banshee and will fizzle out, the target has to be pretty much immobile for it to hit unless the player isn't paying attention or is distracted. People rarely leave their mutas unattended in enemy bases, there's very little chance of one ever landing on a harassing air unit. That said, they are great fun when they do land in large ground battles. | ||

That said, they are great fun when they do land in large ground battles. a hunter seeker at close range to an aggressive opponent, like that video is probably the best use of the weapon. Another thing to note, in all out massive battles, units won't move out of the way of each other when microed around (like they do when just sitting there) if they are engaging a target. So if you throw a few missiles at a huge group of hydras, it's not easy to move the targets away, and you can't kill them before it hits either (itll still blow up on corpse). PS- Banshees are fast, I think you meant slow ass vikings. | ||
