Learn to counter and scout the cheese. If you manage to survive, usually the other player has no idea of what he is supposed to do and he will lose. Most of the time, it means : - Terran : wall + bunker + multiple scv on auto repair ; - Toss : wall + canon (or sentry + forcefield) ; - Zerg : spinecrawler. | ||

Dammit, I don't have a simple question (that is, can't think of one right now). Great threat though! Go zatic! (On a side note: Is bw>sc2, terran imba, or other things that nearly all threads go to after some time? I'm kidding of course, ignore the above lines, they are just for laughs) | ||

A: me B: the original owner of the "dropship" C: it becomes a critter/neutral or other question 2: if I neural parasite a unit and try to pick it up in an overlord/warp prism/medivac that I control, which of the following happens? A: if the unit is of the wrong race in comparison to the "dropship", it can't be picked up B: it can't be picked up C: it can be picked up, neural parasite ends, and I control the unit for the rest of the game D: other E: a combination of the above, if so, which combination? question 3: if I neural parasite an overlord/medivac/warp prism and try to load up a unit into it, what happens? A: if the unit is of the wrong race in comparison to the "dropship", it can't be picked up B: it can't be picked up C: it can be picked up but when neural parasite ends, the original owner of the "dropship" will control the unit for the rest of the game D: other E: a combination of the above, if so, which combination? question 4: if I have have high templars (by stealing protoss tech by neural parasite) that do not have storm upgraded, and neural parasite a unit that has storm upgraded, what happens? A: I cannot use storm with the neural parasited unit B: storm gets automaticly researched (I believe this was the case in BW) if not this, ignore question 5 and question 6 C: I cannot use storm with my own units, but I can use storm with the neural parasited unit D: other question 5: does question 4 apply to all units that can be upgraded? i.e. I have hydras without range and then neural parasite a hydra with range, zergling and speed, roaches and speed/burrow movement, burrow for ground units, infestors and energy upgrade, e.t.c. (naturally ultras can't work due to un-neuralparasiteable) A: yes B: no C: some, but not all. D: question 4 didn't work and question 5 and 6 is thus redundant question 6: can you also "steal" armor, attack (and possibly shield) upgrades to? A: yes B: no C: some, but not all D: question 4 didnt work and question 5 and 6 is thus redundant | ||

Because for zerg, minerals is the limiting factor in the start, while for the other races - SCV/Probe buildtime is. As for me (Z), I hold ctrl+f1 (my keybind for selecting all idle), click the minerals, quickly click hatchery and go "S -> D" followed by splitting off 2 of my drones, then sending my overlord away and keybinding stuff. ---- My easy question: Which buildings do NOT have a building/upgrade animation? | ||

When my natural is finished, should i spilt my workers in half, and have my nexus rallied at different mineral lines, or send a few probes my natural, and have both nexus rallied to the natural? | ||

This is really up to you and what mechanic works best for you. Mineral patches mine the most efficiently at two rock; 16 probes mine 8 patches at a 200% rate, if you have optimal saturation of 3 rock they mine at a 250% rate. You can nab a few more minerals if you saturate your main and your natural evenly. There are also other things to consider, like which probes are easier to protect, in the early game you can use probes for defense, ect. | ||

The only one I can think of is the evo chamber. And I am sure it has one, i have just never noticed. I am pretty sure they all have animations. | ||

Generally you have enough hotkeys for your units and buildings. For Zerg, you only need 3-4 hotkeys for structures and unit-producing. For everything else, it's generally more, but you can similar techs onto the same hotkey, giving you a lot of room. | ||

Kulas Ravine because the cliffs made Terran incredibly strong for drops, tanks or even Thor rushes. And desert, I'm not sure. | ||

The last questions are about if you have your set of templar you have built from a stolen probe building a gateway, cyro, citadel, templar archives, and then instead of researching storm, you just NP an enemy templar. Or more likely, in ZZ you NP a hydra that has range and +3 attack and armor researched. Do your Hydras now have the upgrades? I believe they don't, the 1 unit you NPed has all the upgrades it had before during and after the NP (the one the enemy researched), and all your units only have the upgrades you have researched. I was going to ask, if you NP two templar or DTs, can you merge an archon? No. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Neural_Parasite | ||

Against mass muta, I've tried mass blink stalker (which didn't work out so well), but against mass void-ray, do I just have to get more phoenixes or just macro/mirco better? A very strong build against both Zerg and Protoss is the 4-Gate. With your situation, there are no counters technically, but when encountering both of those units, Phoenix are quite. You also, generally, don't want to let them mass-up. | ||
