Maybe if he doesn't scout it, but then just maybe. | ||

Recasting it on units that are already corrupted will lengthen the corruption (or rather, restart the timer for the corrupted units), but will not cause added DPS. | ||

The more common/easy way is to give the dropships a move command then when they are over the target area hit drop and click the dropship(s). They will begin unloading all units without stopping. | ||

I typically have my Barracks rally points set to the ramp at the front of my base, and my Factory and Starport rally points close by. I/e right next to my Rax rally points. | ||

If i were to drop a Mule on a Terrans mineral patch when his seiged tanks attack that Mule would it give splash damage to his SCVs or defensive structures, like turrets etc? Thanks. | ||

However, a mule in your own base would harvest about 270 minerals. Unless you think landing the mule will deal more than 270 mineral's worth of damage (4-5 SCVs + their mining time), it wouldn't be advisable. Edit: since you're using a scan + a mule, the damage needs to be over 540, not 270, depending on if you think the scan was worth it. | ||

Most of the time I see gas gate core and that's it. Scans miss a lot. Would the timing of the 2nd gas for sure indicate a DT? How about what ramp army comps indicate a DT? Like I said, scanning on top of a Darkshrine isn't a given and may even be late. Thanks! Poke the front around 5:30-6:00 (depending on how hard he's rushing DTs they come out at the earliest around 6:30). If his army is smaller than yours and consists of only zealots and stalkers (very few) or is otherwise not gas-heavy, expect him to be teching. Cannons with no gas units is a strong indication of a DT rush. You can't know for sure if he's going DTs, robo, or air though. If your scan picked up one of those, you don't have to worry about a DT rush, but you should still get detection around 7-8 minutes if you weren't able to scout his tech and still suspect DTs. Other indicators would be a Twilight Counsel that isn't researching anything during your scan. Also, it might be worth considering only poking the front for scouting and keeping your scan to detect the DT until you get detection up. Constant aggression wil also force him to produce more units and slow down his teching to DTs if that was his plan. | ||

Yes, I think the default is Ctrl-F1 through Ctrl-F8 to set them, then just the F key to jump to that location, but I've remapped mine so don't quote me on those hotkeys. Check the general hotkey options within SC2 to see what they're set to or remap them. | ||

Is there a way to remap the shift key with the hotkey editor? I can't find any way to do it. I can change "shift + 1" to "alt + 1" for control groups, but I can't change the other function of shift - to queue actions. | ||
