You can drop units from a moving dropship (or w/e) by issuing the move command, and then issuing the unload all command and targeting the dropship itself.

I kept seeing it in pro games (and actually saw myself do it once completely by accident) but couldn't figure it out until finally, one day it i tried this and it worked!
And it was in BW of all places (yes it works there too!)
i'll rip all the electrons out of your body, and make you positive

I just learned that you can shift command patrol with your scouting worker in the opponent's base. That way it can make circles continuously while I do something else :D

Tried it in the unit tester, Baneling bombs never felt that awesome !

I've been trying to find out how I can drop units from my dropship/overlord while moving, your help would be much appreciated.

You order the transport unit somewhere, click or press "Unload", then click on the transport unit itself.

Alternate method: While the transport unit is selected, click on the wireframe model of a loaded unit (displayed in the center display at the lower edge of screen) to unload it at the transport unit's current location.

I recently discovered that scvs inside a medivac will repair any siege tanks/hellions inside with them. This is very handy for early hellion drops as you can take 2 scvs along with your 3 hellions (or 4 scvs and a siege tank if that's your thing) and pickup and repair them as they get damaged then drop them back again.

Omg it's actually true. Put them on auto-repair. Thank god there's no room for SCVs when there's a thor in a medivac. Is this a bug?

OMG nr 2. Just imagine a hellion drop with 3 hellions and 2 SCVs in a medivac! I am gonna cry for zerg

I don't play terran so I dont know this for sure, but some one said that it takes much more resources to repair in a drop ship, like 2-3x more

It is much easier to target air units with Fungal growth when you have the air markers turned on in the game settings. I would always end up missing my first or catching 1 out of 8 units. Now I just target the dots

Just gonna throw this one out there because I play a lot of 2's and people ALWAYS ask what the opponents race was.

If you click on the top right corner icon where you can give your partner unit control, it will also tell you the races(or if they picked random) of you partner and opponent. This might be obvious but 1 out of like 3 games my partner asks what their races were so don't know how many know this. I'm sure there is a hotkey for this menu to just not sure what it is.

What I've learned:
Select a unit and right click on another of your own unit to make it follow that unit.

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.


thast sick this thread is so asome will the stalker out run the zealot if there kinda nearby or will he always stay behind him ? (wanna use my zeolt as a meat shield!)

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. But what are timeflies and why do they like an arrow?

Actaully, this is extremely useful for me! I am very guilty of either zoning out or checking up on my email while the loading screen is on, thanks
