On topic: When chasing a unit that is just out of range of your marauders, don't stim the whole group to chase it down, just stim the front marauder to apply the slow and the rest will catch up. Saves medivac energy.  A lot of these things seem much better for people completely new to StarCraft, as there are a lot of bw techniques popping up: On October 08 2010 08:25 MonsieurGrimm wrote: To make an easy creep highway with OL's, select them all, right click where you want the first one, shift click one away, right click where you want the next one, shift click etc. Much easier than selecting and moving them individually. Just fyi, this is called cloning. On October 09 2010 00:12 CidO wrote: Honestly? I finally learned what 1a2a3a is. I'll have to try Ctrl right click and see how many hands like doing that. I don't think my hands would like this... 1, ctrl+right-click, 2, ctrl+right-click. You'd have to release control each time you switch groups, otherwise you'll just override previous control groups and mess up the attack. | ||

I see too many zerg players that go muta/ling/bling and never throw down a roach warren or don't tech to hive. Its 150 minerals and I can guarantee you that at some point you are going to wish you had it. | ||

Even if it is something that I don't need at the moment. The prime example of this is infestation pit. GET ONE EVERY GAME ASAP EVEN IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON USING INFESTORS. This will greatly quicken you ability to go tier 3 so the moment you see the terran player switching you mech you can go hive->ultra.

True this, not only can you go hive instantly. as soon as he makes 5 thors you just parasite all of them and his army disappears! happy bday you kweer | ||

Background I used to hotkey units with same speed on same hotkey so that i can micro and make for example zealots go in front of stalkers. If i had them in same control group stalkers would get faster to the target and zealots slacking behind. Now i just make stalkers follow zealots and just move my zealots which gives better army positioning. You can even A-move only the zealots and the stalkers will also A-move by just the "follow trick". Some very cool things about follow. Say you have a stalker following a zealot: If the zealot is moving with a move command rather than an attack command, and enemies are nearby, the stalker will keep following rather than attacking as long as the zealot is moving, but as soon as the zealot stops, the stalker will attack anything in range. If the zealot is on attack-move or attacking an enemy directly, the stalker will attack things within range. Unfortunately, it doesn't focus on the zealot's target, just attacks things in range based on priority. So, following units try to mimic the leader's behavior. | ||
