it's kinda' awesome. If I have two hatcheries and a lair, I can tech and go to hive all at the same time- if there's gas for it. | ||

Hmm you believed that you needed a lair for each expansion in order to build lair tech units right? It's not the first time I ear something like that it must come from another RTS logic pbly. As for me I just learnt that you can repair units in medivacs if you have a auto-repair scv inside. The More you know... | ||

The More you know... Not at all. I thought only the lair could research the upgrades(Overlord/seer speed, carry, burrow), but all hatcheries once you get lair can. Which could mean getting what I said up above all at the same time and not having timing tradeoffs. | ||

-Buildings have certain animations when something is happening to them. This can range from the obvious, such as blinking lights on a Barracks, or big green blobs on Hatcheries, to the more subtle like how Baneling Nests shake when they're researching Centrifugal Hooks. If you can't learn them all, at the very least note the difference between buildings in "work" and buildings "at rest." -You can queue up movement and active abilities; for example select a Siege Tank, hold Shift, click to an area, and then push E to make your tank move somewhere and then siege up automatically. This applies to almost every active ability -- Changeling, Burrow, Vortex, Burrow, Siegemode, PDD, etc. Terran: -If you're lazy and have lots of MULEs saved up, you can drop up to 8 (6 for Gold) MULEs onto a single mineral patch and they'll spread out automatically, just like SCVs. 2 MULEs cannot mine from the same patch, so don't call down more MULEs than mineral patches or it's a complete waste. -Interesting economical note: 1 MULE at a gold mineral patch gives 400 minerals, the cost of expanding there in the first place. Zerg: -When dealing with super early marine aggression, remember that workers and zerglings are slightly FASTER than marines. Use the opportunity to surround, then attack. If you a-move, you will lose a lot more than you should -Fungal also reveals burrowed units! -You can break the 200 Food limit by selecting all your drones, building a bunch of spores (cheapest, smallest structure), and then building army units. Once the eggs are morphing, cancel the spores and you'll have a 200+ food army. -Morphing heals a unit completely. So morph your injured Zerglings and Corruptors first, as their evolved forms will start with full health. Additionally, don't waste fungals on Baneling Cocoons unless you're sure that Fungal will be able to kill them immediately, as finishing a morph heals fully and removes all debuffs (like Fungal) Protoss: -Hallucinate can force your enemy to overbuild countering, but ultimately useless units such as Vikings and Corruptors in the case of Hallucinated Colossi. -You can break walls by using forcefield to push one or two units through walls. Can't think of anything else right now! | ||

BUT DID YOU KNOW Stargates are unique in the sense that you can see what unit it is producing by the shape of the half warped object in the middle? Commence Mind Blasting :O | ||

Injured zerglings morph into full health banelings. I wonder if the same is true of broodlords. In my case they were hit by fungal growth so they had something like 3 hps when I morphed them. POP! all green health banelings... cool. | ||

Thats untrue. MULEs will spread only if there's free mineral patch nearby. If you drop 20 MULEs on gold expo they all will mine over each other mining whole expansion in few minutes. | ||

Once the eggs are morphing, cancel the spores and you'll have a 200+ food army. WTF HAX. Can you post a video or a replay with this trick? It almost feels like a bug; like the army units shouldn't hatch (same thing happens if the cocoon has no physical space to put its hatched units; see the When Cheese Fails episode with a proxy hatch).. Now I want to see the zerg 400 food pushgogogo. EDIT: Lemme pay it forward with some stuff I've found. Zerg: * If you remap the basecam hotkey to capslock, you can do the mrbitter inject technique without moving your hand. General: * Use one of the camera hotkeys on your rally point, so you don't lose track of units. Get it the habit of hitting ctrl+f5 after you set your rally * When selecting a single building, mouse over the progress bar in the wireframe. It'll show you how much longer remains on production/research (unit is game seconds). | ||
