That has to do with having the building patrol at a certain distance right?

Sorry, found the answer towards the end of the thread.

Yup yup, you create a small patrol triangle (use shift) and if the distances are right, you can have so much fun with it.

A poorly placed creep tumor can block your ability to take an expansion... Seems obvious, but I guess I'd never actually thought about whether you can build on tumors before.

If u have 5 rax with 3 teach and 2 reactor, choose the barracks and hit 'D' 3 times and then hit 'A' 2 times to get 3 maraders and 4 marines . No mix up of units,!
Somethings are just worth fighting for

I would like to add as zerg, you can have a drone set to a hotkey and whatever that drone builds, the building will stay as that hotkey. So if you want to just save some time, set your drone to whatever you would normally make your second hatch on (this works with shift control groups too) and it the hatchery will automatically be on that hotkey.

I dont know if wasting an EMP would be worth it to uncloak an observer?
I wonder though which is better. Scan, raven, tower, emp.
I would say tower since ebays will be up anyway for upgrades.

i thought roach warren costed gas for my first 50 games(kinda like a hydra den in sc1)
so i kept losing to 4gate and random terran cheese because my roach warren was delayed a good 30 seconds vs the worst players imaginable.
Now it's sooo easy roach OP

You build a worker before sending your first group to mine, or so I was told. Made splitting drones much easier to do. Before this I would send drones and then make the first.

Also learning that creep tumors can make creep tumors.

Just tested, I'm fairly sure it's not true. Infested terrans just regenerate health naturally, don't think fungal affects the regen at all

"Backspace will cycle you through multiple bases."

I actually changed this key to the tilda key, ~, to make it easier for when I random zerg.

Also, I put all my unit producing structures (besides cc/hatch/nexus) in the same control group and tab through them. I think it's probably the best way to do it (and more of a nooby thing: I keep all my upgrade buildings on control group 6 or 7 so I won't forget about them)
Second favorite strategy game of all time: Starcraft. First: Go (aka Wei Qi, Paduk, or Igo)

Well, I learned more than one thing obvious. During Beta, Trump was doing video reviews of replays. At the time, I was Bronze league. There were a ton of things I got from watching Trump review my replay, and a few more from watching his stream. Overnight, I shot up from Bronze to Diamond pretty much (actually took about 2 weeks only to reach platinum from bronze. And on release, I placed platinum and ranked up to Diamond in 3 days.)

The biggest things I learned were:

Keep building workers. I usually built some workers in the early game, but stopped. I didn't realize the importance of workers.

Good build order. I learned the 3 rax push, and slowly branched into several different builds. But I got really efficient at build orders.

Scouting. I never thought about scouting ahead of my army before, or the importance of knowing where the enemy army is. I always do that now.

Stutter-step micro. So basic, but I never knew about it.

Also, I switched from Zerg to Terran. It just fits my style better.
