You can call a MULE directly to a mineral patch

You can EMP a building's energy (EMP OC before a nuke)

When supply blocked you can still start production (different from warcraft 3)

Hitting Alt- Windows still takes you to your desktop even with alt-tab and windows key disabled.

No idea why I even hit those buttons, but it was frusterating as hell when I was about to beat this Zerg and I do that crap and end up having to close SC2 and take that free loss

Fixed by popping off the windows button though :D

~ If your Zerg each time you make an overlod if you shift add them all to one control group when your lair tech finishes you can select them all and hit the pewp creep hotkey and it can be very handy


I would love to do this, however.... shift-# also adds the larvae, not just the eggs, to the control group. Thus if I hit SV for an overlord, there's likely other larvae in my selection, so SV Shift-2 will add the new overlord to group 2, but it also adds all the other larvae to the group. So then later on in the game I end up with weird units in my 'overlord' group.

Ctrl-Clicking the SV egg before hotkeying takes some mouse aiming, which sort of defeats the savings to me. It would be nice if larvae wasn't able to be added to control groups, and only eggs, then this would work well for me.

Hmm the first week of retail I didn't know about chronoboost. So figuring that out helped. Also about three weeks later I figured out what feedback did :O

No, I didn't play the beta or much rts before SC2 lol

I was so bad at infestor play because I didn't know to fungal BENEATH the air units and always clicked directly on them. It took me a while to figure out why I was only catching some of the air units on the top half of a flock

Im diamond in everything 1900 rating in one v one and i just realized that there is a idle worker picture in the bottom left and i play terran so you can imagine how many times that happens. I picked up game late and never looked into any minor details so i might still be missing some things but whatever this one made me feel stupid, also always play with bars on MICRO FOR THE WIN.

Try going to options and turning on "show flyer helpers". Then all you have to do is to aim for th small dots under the air units with your storms/fungals. Your minds ill be blown

As for me I have had several big "aha!" moments. Including but not limited to spawn larva on minimap as well as spamming spells while holding down shift. Also learnt that building hatcheries spawn creep, so if you cancel them you can actually put down an evo chamber at your oponents natural to block expansions. Right back at you, protoss and terran!

Hitting Ctrl+F1 instantly selects all Idle Workers.


Oh my god. Thank you so much for this ! Doing this with just F1 was a pain and a macro-killing move. Thank youuuuu :D

- SCVs on auto-repair loaded into a Medivac will repair everything they can inside the Medivac (possibly at a higher resource cost).

wow really? That's surprising, I'll have to try that.

I've learned this recently, and this is pretty obvious...

When you get hooked on losing streak for days, the most common thing is to look at whats wrong with your gameplay. But there is no real answer to that. Instead you should think more outside the box. What can you do to destroy your enemy? Do you feel like you would be able to Nydus his main while attacking his workers in his expansion?

Strike yourself with opportunity, rather than just making the same mistakes all over again. This thinking pattern gets more evaluated the higher you get into the game.

Small tip and it may have been mentioned already, but Ghosts can EMP Nexus' and Orbital Commands (likely queens too, didn't test, but I'm sure it'll work).

Limited usefulness but dropping a few ghosts to cancel Scans can be interesting in nuke play. Nothing groundbreaking, but fun to play with :D
