But nydus worms from another nydus "entrance" are not connected. That nydus entrance and its worms are a different animal beneath the surface if you want to picture it that way. So no is the answer to your question. Wrong, all Nydus Worms and Networks are connected to each other:  Nydus NetworkAlthough you should never do this. Worms are cheaper, build faster, and can be built anywhere compared to networks. The only reason to build two networks is when you want to build more than 1 worm at the same time. | ||

So no is the answer to your question. hm..okay. I'll test this later to be sure. But the liquipedia entry says that all "entrances and networks" are connected. I've never tried it (at work now) so I was hoping to see if there was some info on it | ||

Any strategy advice guys? You're thinking far too "counter chart". If you execute a mutalisk mid game correctly, then the mutas should act as an indirect contain for your opponent, forcing them to not move out until they have enough to both defend at home and defend a forward position. At this point your economy should be so massive (4-5 bases compared to your opponent's 2) that overrunning them with roaches becomes easy. I would need to see a replay to know what exactly you may have done wrong, but this is just a basic guideline as to what you need to do. Remember, the main drawback to mech is sever lack of mobility. Even though you won't really be able to ever engage "cost effectively", you don't need to because of how much room a mech-ing terran will give you to work with. | ||

That seems pretty out dated at this point, protoss just learned that you not taking gas early means they can be as greedy as possible. You may never lose to anything in the early game, but more often then now you'll be out macro'd in the mid game. I wouldn't recommend the build to anyone but it is your choice I suppose. | ||

I did see the the barracks building a reactor and the factory building so i realized hellions were most likely to come. The thing tho i think cost me the game was because i didnt respond to well to it, i should have gone for a faster roach warren, and build a third queen to block of the ramp. Thank you for your answer. | ||

group 1: mutaX10, lingX10 and hydraX5 group 2: mutaX3, lingX40 and hydra X10 but I want to quickly change it too.... group1: mutaX13 group2: lingX50 group3: hydraX15 Now if I wanted to swap this army up super fast what would be the fastest way to do so if they where kind of far from you? | ||

For example sometimes I have 2 or 3 different ctrl groups of unit squads, but I would like to break the squad up quickly and just switch the control groups back to each group being only 1 type of unit. group 1: mutaX10, lingX10 and hydraX5 group 2: mutaX3, lingX40 and hydra X10 but I want to quickly change it too.... group1: mutaX13 group2: lingX50 group3: hydraX15 Now if I wanted to swap this army up super fast what would be the fastest way to do so if they where kind of far from you? Map-wide, no. Your options are slicing selections off of each group and overwriting, or collecting the units onto the same screen and ctrl-clicking each unit type. To be optimal, you'll have to do a combination of the two, e.g., send 123 all to a central location then slice off mutas from each group into 1. And then go to the central location and ctrl-click lings and hydras into 2 and 3 respectively. | ||

Simple question: How do you keep medivacs out of danger with M&M? Wider Issue I tend to separate unit groups/production facilities into hotkeys over using the tab key within a group. I'm happy with my hotkey setup for macro now, and I have 5 hotkeys for army so no problems there. But my unit control is terrible. Ling/Bane control is sub-par, I have troubles keeping a Protoss ball together and still utilising blink & sentries, and medivacs either lag behind when I have them in a separate group, or fly ahead into trouble if I have them grouped with the M&M). So, the simple answer to the above question could be something that is workable regardless of hotkey setup (and I know that's a "whatever you're comfortable with" thing), but I suppose I'm stumped as to what is comfortable for me, because it's an aspect of my game which just isn't improving at this stage. I didn't want to make a thread just for this, but I guess I'm just not sure what the root cause of my problem is so I'm throwing guesses out here. | ||

It sounds like you just need to practice more with your keyboard hand and, say in the medivac case, just get used to 1a2a3a over simply 1a | ||

I thought that might be the case. 1a2a3a refers to A-moving Marines, Marauders and Medivacs as separate groups, I'm assuming. Which tells me the standard is to a-move the units around the map. I guess, for me the issue that arises is medivacs flying ahead of the ground army into danger, rather than sticking behind. Which, in retrospect, is probably about where you're ordering the a-move... Do you 1a2a to the same spot, and 3a a little back? Or am I just ordering move commands to places that are too far off, meaning the medivacs get there first? | ||
