I'm not sure what a good Terran counter to Thors is, as I don't have much experience playing Terran, but Ravens sound like a rather silly response. Their PDDs only block the Thors' anti-air shots (and not many volleys, since they contain a large number of projectiles), so you're basically building Ravens so that they can protect themselves.

make a shitload of siege tanks
like at least 15 and inch forward to his base
if he attacks he will die. period.
Then once you are comfortable with 20 or so siege tanks, you can tech switch into battlecruisers
If you want to bio you can just make pure marauders. Supply wise, there are 3 marauders for every 1 thor, and that is enough to take them down.
Also, thors are super slow. You can just not engage them, drop, destroy his economy, and then just slowly pick off thors until he has no money to make any more.

How do you keybind your broodlord armies? I'm finding it difficult to juggle roaches, lings, corruptors, infestors and BL's.

I have 0 rebound to `, and I use ` for Broodlords/corruptors (manually control clicking the corruptors for micro management when they need to be pulled back), 1 for roaches/lings, 2 for infestors, 3 for banelings.
I find it pretty effective.

So I've been used to play rts's with my production buildings under hot-keys 1 to 4 (CC, rax etc) and my army 5 till whatever I use/need. This is a habit I picked up in earlier games, but now I see all these pro's playing their prod buildings on 5+ while they bind their army on 1-3/4. Is there an obvious or vital reason for that? As I will have troubles breaking my habit if its not for a good reason.

after fast expand, is it better to:

transfer (totalscvs-16) to natural, then rally both ccs to natural
or
transfer (totascvs/2) to natural, then rally CCs to their respective minerals

I remember there was a thread on this a while back but cant seem to find it either

PDD blocks projectiles.........marauder's projectile attack is blocked. The thor's attack is instant, just like a marine, immortal, tank etc. So non-projectile air attacks aren't blocked by PDD either.

How do I pick up my marines with the medivac when they are surrounded by zerglings?
When select my marines and right click the medivac, they just try to walk to the medivac and die : (

But I always see how the medivac flies towards the marines and pick them up on streams.

Thanks in advance!

Fly your medivac closer to the marines, select your marines and then right click on your dropship when its close enough. That being said your medivac should be on top of the marines anyway =P

It's technically a transport with a capacity for 255 units. Practically speaking it is limitless, but the limit is there so that the designers can use the same code used by the other transports with the nydus and avoid implementing additional, unnecessary functionality.

This is the "simple questions, simple answers" thread. Your question is "how can I win at Starcraft?" You see the problem?
