I really like being able tell what matchup I'm going to be playing (unless the other guy is random of course) before the game starts, gives me a few seconds to think about my plan. The problem is how you make the cursor show up. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes the cursor's not visible until the match starts | ||

As I'm sure this is obvious to some people I am going to post it because I think that is the point of this thread. When I first started this game, I must have mis-read the chronoboost information, because I thought ONE chrono to your nexus would speed up all your buildings. I would waste every chornoboost directly on my nexus. I thought this would make my gateways that were warping in build faster while making probes build faster, while making every other building faster. It makes sense now that it's not this way, but I guess the main thing I thought was that by chrono-ing my nexus, it would make my buildings warp-in faster. Wasted a lot of chrono on that haha! Since my RTS really started in War3. I've always known about Ctrl and Shift Click. I know it's been mentioned in this thread, but even friends of mine who play this game a lot don't seem to know Ctrl+Click will select all units/buildings of the same type. Shift+Basically anything will queue commands for a unit. eg scv build depot then go back to mining. | ||

Or I was just such a nerd that I found out before playing the beta. Somehow. Good reasons to watch any and all previews they do for HotS whenever they decide to release info for it! | ||

Please tell me others didn't know this! I thought you just had to always individually select the units within the dropship to do this.  Sorry but I think pretty much everyone does this. But the most common way is to make the ship move and then when you want them to drop you drop click ON the medivac, then it starts to release the troops. ONT: It took a while for me to discover that shift not only adds units to a group but also creates groups. Now I only use crtl to create groups if I accidentally added the wrong unit to a group. | ||

The confusion about Chronoboosting your allies structures has been confused. You can only do this after your Protoss partner in a team game leaves and you are able to control what is left of his forces. At this point, you can chrono his buildings or yours. You can also build units with his structures, or otherwise spend minerals, which you can't do even with control given, while he is still in the game. Here's something to make sure you never do. If you're essentially contained as PvT with Seige Tanks outside your base, but they don't have vision, don't get cute with Phoenix Graviton Beams ... Also, a good way to hide Tech for Protoss, especially a Dark Shrine, is to simply use a probe dropped from a warp prism at some obscure location to warp it in and leave again. The structure doesn't have to be powered, since the building itself doesn't do any research. This goes for other buildings which are pre-requisites. Forges, Cyber Cores, Templar Archives, etc have to be present to make Photon Cannons, Stalkers and Sentries and higher tech buildings, and HT's, but they don't require power unless they themselves want to do some sort of research. As for patches changing Blink Stalkers, they don't need a path in all cases, as you can still blink to the islands on Lost Temple. It was just particular maps that were changed. | ||

Makes warping in units so much easier and way faster than the method I had previously been using with having hotkeys all over my keyboard. I also changed them from F5 and up to F1 and up; moved idle probe to the ` button. (Probably already listed in this thread, but seeing as how there are 34 pages and I don't have that much time I thought I'd just get my input in here!) | ||
