Spamming S on worker units so they dont attack will cause their priority to drop and enemy units will ignore them like they would in SC

my only problem with using queen to pop creep tumors instead of larvae is:
If you dont use the larvae because you dont have the resources or for whatever reason, you just dont use them. The larvae will remain there if you keep injecting. For instance I had 150 supply worth of hydras just for fun in a FFA game, i had 2 other hatcheries. The entire game i would re-inject them with my queens. So at one point in the game i let all my hydras die in an autoattack. But since i was spamming larve injection I was able to rebuild 200 supply of hydras almost instantly. So i still like larva injection to be put on non-stop.

Regarding reapers/stalker micro, can you avoid being hit by zeals without the speed upgrade?

As Z, upgrade Burrow (if you use it), put a burrowed unit at the T's natural. When he goes to expand, he will have to waste a scan (which means he wastes a mule, and a mule is about 250 minerals)


if you have siege you can just splash it with a marine, maybe even a hellion

or just build a turret
so it;ll be good for 50-250 minerals then

-When a tank shoots in sieged mode, there is a quick status clock on the attack icon, when it goes from 12 back to 12 again it shoots. (they should do this with more units imo)

Enemy units will auto acquire the auto turrets placed by a raven. Since auto turrets have 150 life, placing a bunch of auto turrets in front of your push can help alot. If he micros to attack units, the auto turrets give you a nice damage boost (they do ... 8 dmg I think and fire at about marine speed). If he doesn't micro his units they will attack the turrets allowing your units to basically get free hits in, which can really turn the tide of a battle.

yea there are at least 2 guys with that name (Spelled diff).

BoT, I was just messing around in single player with Terran. And I discovered that if you lift up a unit right when a raven HSM is about to hit the unit is safe inside but the splash/target hits the medivac.
Since the thor is still there, it should take splash damage technically, but it does not as well.
Same thing for Yamato, but yamato doesn't do any damage at all.

-Ghost nuke does 500 damage to barracks and the radius is 24 SCV wide, it did 300 to BC.

also, /dance when marines or marauders selected makes them dance (each one has 2 dances). Marauder does the running man and the robot, marine does that WoW Tauren dance and the moonwalk.

I just had someone use the bunker vs. hatchery LOS trick on me a few minutes ago on Blistering Sands. As an additional kick, he placed the bunker right up against the edge of the map, so that he had a nice protected pocket for his SCVs to repair and it wasn't possible to surround the bunker with SCVs.
. . . nevermore

Just a note in case you haven't noticed:

on bunkers there is a "salvage" button which deconstructs the bunker in like 5sec and gives you 100% of the money you spent back.

So bunkers are basically free if they don't die and you don't need them permanently.

it is surprising how many people do not notice this, and I thought bunker rushing was gay in sc1
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

As terran rushing to helions/tanks, you can use the barracs for building multiple addons near the factories, before the factories are complete and then fly the factories to them.

Zerg buildings spawn broodlings when they die, they only last for like 5 seconds but if you're quick you can use them to kill something.

Medivac that is rallied somewhere will stop and heal anything on his way to the point.

I don't have beta, but has anyone with beta tryed abusing the high yield minerals? Like on maps where they are close, if you are terran, lifting cc straight to the minerals and ditching the main, or expanding there before you expand to your nat and taking advantage of mobile units to defend?
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Sry, nobody told me! It surprised the hell out of me!

Tip: you can queue tanks to move into position and siege up.
Shift-right click then hit "E", the tank will move to its destination and go into siege mode automatically. This was something I always wanted in sc1.

yea, I've already seen a few people kill them to make room. Even I did it on habitt and realized that I could have salvaged it afterwords
