- unless you're looking for invisible units, you can build a proxy barracks to scout with instead of wasting command center energy on a scan. the mule ends up being more efficient plus the barracks tends to last longer. - medivacs can carry thors, it's a great harassment tactic! - siege tanks can shoot beyond their normal sight range. scanning or using flying units can increase their shot distance by 1 or 2 range. (not sure of the exact distance) Protoss - warp prisms can drop a pylon field. you can spawn gateway units anywhere your warp prism goes. Ever seen a dark templar insta-spawn on your enemy's mineral line? I have. Zerg - Queen's creep tumors are additive (dropping 3 in a nearby spot will spawn creep 3 times faster than 1 normally would) - don't bunch your overlords up. send them around the map to scout, make creep highways, or even spew creep on expansions to stop terrans and protoss from... expanding. Posted this just last week... ironic? Salty's SC2 Cast - Tips and Tricks Note, this is a YouTube video, not a link to another thread. | ||

you can place creep tumor on enemy's creep to gain vision. when mind control ghost during nuke, you need to manuel cancel nuke. point defense drone can be mind control. | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't motherships cloak allied units in 2v2 as well? If you got 15 cloaked scv's repairing your mothership, then this could prove hard to deal with. Aren't scv's also off the attack priority list if they aren't joining the fight? Which means that in addition to getting detection nearby, you would have to individually target the scv's to get them killed off. So your opponent basically will need to 1. bring detection 2. micro his attacking units to kill off the repairing scv's 3. focus fire the mothership down 4. kill off the rest of your (now decloaked) army or completely ignore it and face the wrath of the almighty indestructible mothership! | ||

I am very certain that this is the chase. | ||

We can't have a non-zerg player with more than 2 bases now, can we?  | ||

You can then move the mule around the base and get a wider scout radius than a scan, if you have the unit control for it. You can also steal some of thei rminerals and mine them out faster, since MULEs IGNORE other workers mining (including your own) . The missile dropping onto their minerals is sure to freak them out, too. You are going to waste 270 minerals (per mule) x3. Do you really think he will los so many minerals from tanking his scvs? Especially if he can cast down his own mulse right after to boost his eco back till he gets scvs back. I dont think thats viable | ||

The only problem with this is I do not know how viable it is now that the tanks only hit for 50 damage since that really hurts the splash they do. In other words, this many not even work any more post patch 15 | ||

The Point Defense Drone WILL NOT STOP Marines, Reapers, Ghosts, Tanks, Hellions, Thors, Roaches, Broodlords, Sentries, Void Rays, and Carriers I noticed it doesn't work as well as I had orginially thought, but I didn't think the list was that big! So...completely useless against Protoss air, Terran Mech, and Zerg T1, very effective against Terran air and Zerg T2? What about Immortals and Colossi? I don't think the PDD stops them either... | ||

Not sure if this is a trick but it's kinda helpful... When you want to nydus your enemy you should distract him by spawning infested terrans at a mineral line. This will keep the opponent busy just long enough for the nydus worm to pop up. And the infested terrans really don't cost you anything except the 100 energy and 50minerals/100gas per overseer. | ||

I'm thinking though, an improvement on this (perhaps in other maps,using a cliff to separate exits, eg between main and nat xpo) might be to build a 2nd/3rd/etc worm while moving the olord/seer, such that there will be more doors/exits, idk, just a thought... | ||

A neural parasited unit will use the armor/weapon upgrades you have researched not your opponents, even if your opponents are higher. They do not gain spells or abilities. If you NP an enemies infestor then use that infestor to NP something else you keep control of that unit until the second NP is canceled. Meaning you keep control of the second unit even after the enemy gets his infestor back. (If your opponent isn't watching carefully he won't be able to cast anything with his infestor since its still channeling, or he'll assume he's NPing one of your units.) | ||

-Mind controlling an overlord morphing into an overseer and then cancelling it will cause your opponent to lose the resources he spent on it. taken from the infestor use thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=131047 | ||

I don't think the PDD stops them either... unless it's a recent patch change, they definitely stop thor shots. they're not great at it, because thors shoot four projectiles at a time, but i've seen it happen many times, and it can be worth it. stops phoenix shots too. | ||
