Maybe put your natural expansion on a camera hotkey. If you double tap 4 it's just going to take you to the closest one. | ||

Camera hotkeys use F1-F8, you don't need to set aside numerical hotkeys for them. | ||

At the very least, one camera at your rally point is always a good idea. I personally have one camera at my rally point (space) and a few cameras (f2-f4) on my creep tumor lines. | ||

I have all my infantry (marines + marauders) and medivacs in the same control group and I stutter step by using right click (move command) "h" (hold position). But that messes up my medivacs. They keep getting stuck behind and stop healing. What's the correct technique to stutter step with MMM? Should I have the medivacs in their own control group and if so, do I have to tell them to move every time I stutter step? I mean, if I have marines + marauders on 1 and medivacs on 3, do I have to do this every time I stutter step: 1, right click, h, 3, right click, 1, right click, h, 3, right click, etc? That seems like a lot of actions for my 65 APM bronze skillz (top 8 baby!  ). | ||

You can click on the "move" command (or just M) and on one of your units, and the medivacs will follow that unit until it dies. | ||

Actually, what you want to do is making the medivacs "attack" (a+click) one of your bio units. This causes them to follow it and heal it and anything around it. | ||

I'm trying to get into the habit of tapping, however when one have multiple buildings selected there is only small squares to show the queue, now, is there any way of seeing when the unit in question is about to finish in order for me to queue slightly early or should i just keep refilling the queue as I see empty queues and lose a few seconds? Should I tap faster? I play terran if that is of interest, but I guess this problem don't apply to the other races as much anyway  | ||

If you have the speed you should be able to click on each barracks individually to see their queue, but you should atleast have a sense of when it's about to finish.

I suck at this game XD Well, from what i learned last question I just go for macro macro macro. I also saw that somebody got to gold or something like that by just macroing to 200/200 and pushing, so i thought i'd try that... I got to about 170 supply and pushed. Now, im in bronze, and i macro'd pretty well up to a while after my 2nd expo, so i thought i should easily be ahead. Also, a 2 base toss vs. 2 base zerg. I should be ahead even more. But, you see by the push that i get absolutely owned. http://drop.sc/31792 What did i do wrong? | ||

If you have the speed you should be able to click on each barracks individually to see their queue, but you should atleast have a sense of when it's about to finish. TIP: When you have the capacity to produce 8 marines, makes sure there is always a ninth queued. That means that the Rax with the furthest progressed marine has a marine queued. When the 2nd Marine disappears, you click Marine again, and a marine queues up somewhere else. This way, instead of creating a marine when you see an empty spot (= lost building time), you create a marine when you see that your 2nd dot is gone. Pro: No barracks time lost Con: 50 minerals permanently invested Kind regards | ||

I'd rather switch to a more late-game oriented build, but I still want to Forge Fast Expand. What would be a couple of good options for me to try? You could try some of the stargate->templar stuff that protoss have been experimenting with. Sadly, I don't know any specific builds for it but you could try working out timings yourself, or look up games from protoss like JYP or Sage. | ||

Since I play zerg and liquipedia isn't helping, I can't give exact build orders or gate numbers or anything, but blink, colossus, and immortals are all really really good. Try them out. | ||
