It solves the problem with the queenless hatches the base camera hotkey has. And I've played more than 2k games but still suck at injecting  so I don't believe in the "comes with practice" mantra. I need some trick or technique but I tried all the ones I knew of.Isnt it much easier to use the 'cylce through bases camera' button to do that? Backspace by Default. I changed it to ~, so now i do, 5 (queens), ~ inject, ~ inject, ~ inject, ect.. Still I just forget to do it later in the game.. | ||

In terms of default unit and structure hotkeys: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, x, y, z are all used, leaving j, k, l, o, w as available (w is globally bound as the warp gate key). This only includes the letter keys. In particular, you can move around function keys as the lower set are the useless hero keys by default. In the past I've put 7-0 on F1-F4 and inactive drone to F5. Broodlord attacks deal damage (affected by air attack) in addition to spawning broodlings that deal additional damage (affected by melee attack). | ||

I recall someone saying on a thread awhile back that customized hotkeys were a no-no in BW, and in every GSL match I've paid attention to, players were using 1-0 for group bindings. Keep in mind that BW hotkeys were not customizable through the game interface. In starcraft 2, virtually all tournaments allow customizable hotkeys through two clauses: 1) Requiring that players use their own battle.net accounts (which comes with whatever hotkey setups are tied to their account), e.g., MLG (http://pro.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/17#event_36_event_rules) 7. Players must provide their own Battle.net account with an active Starcraft 2 license for the North American (NA) Region. 2) Giving players ample set up time to customize the tournament-provided accounts given to them, e.g., GSL (http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/news/64582) All players must arrive at the tournament venue no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the game. All players are allowed 15 minutes to adjust their personal settings. On May 10 2011 19:21 Timm wrote: Isnt it much easier to use the 'cylce through bases camera' button to do that? Backspace by Default. I changed it to ~, so now i do, 5 (queens), ~ inject, ~ inject, ~ inject, ect.. Still I just forget to do it later in the game.. Cycling through bases has the problem that if you have less queens than hatches or your queens are out of position in the right way, backspace injection causes your queens to wander around the map trying to inject other hatches. When you get into this situation, it can take a bit of time to fix which can disrupt your game flow. This is the queenless hatch problem dementrio's talking about. There are, of course, ways to mitigate this such as being more careful with your injects or switching to minimap injection when you're in this situation. But it is problematic enough that some people prefer a different injection method altogether. | ||

You can do this by dragging a box over them and counting them at each of your bases. | ||

One trick is to just keep count of how many saturated bases you have. Each 2 vespene geysers uses 6 drones, and each min line at full saturation is 24 drones, or at full effeciency is 16 drones. if you have, say, 2 gases running in the main, 3 expos with full saturation and 2 gasses each, you have 6+24+24+24+6+6+6 = 96 drones, and should stop droning. | ||

I have 303 wins with 51 of them in custom games and I don't have the 250 win portrait (queen). My other thought is that maybe I won like 2 games offracing drunk some night but I don't think I have. I was wondering if my 200 or so wins in season one don't matter anymore. I know portraits don't really matter but I was kind of excited in game 301 to get the portrait so now I'm disapointed. Is there a way to see how many wins I have with each race? They don't have to be in a single season. If you go into your achievements -> quick match and click the relevant achievement you're trying to get you will be able to see a progress bar that tells you exactly how many games you've won as that race. | ||
