I use space to make the camera cycle through my hatcheries which I'm sure many of you do to help with injects. Now I want to save other camera locations in a similar cycle, if you understand what I mean. I don't want to have additional control groups for different camera cycles cause that's too many keys for me, but would rather be able to add new camera locations into a single cycling key, much like base camera cycle but for my own custom camera locations. Is that possible?

Would starting with 200 mins make SC2 and overall faster and more exciting game? Hatch first really could be hatch first. 6 pool starts right away seems to be the only problem, small problem to fix for the gains.

Hey all.

I been experimenting with air terran. When casting multiple yamato cannons with bcs, once you run out of energy, you end up selecting the unit you left click on (deselecting your control group). Is there any way around this?

Hold shift and issue the yamatos.

Does the overseer's contaminate ability stop a cc from lifting off? Could be pretty useful when doing a speed roach all in to snipe their 3rd or natural.

To be honest, carriers are the answer to Terran Mech but it's a bit difficult to get there correctly. You need to rely less on the templar tech path and more on the robo-stargate, but too many immortals is honestly not helpful. You want just a couple in combination with a warp prism and some phoenixYou need a few colossi as necessary to deal with marines, but mostly a bunch of phoenixes to survive the mid-game while you build the carrier fleet. The phoenix will give you map control, a buffer against vikings, and drop management. Mineral dump into zealot/stalker as necessary, keep up with economy, and then once you have the gas income lay down a few stargates and pump full carrier production.

Warp prism speed is helpful but not a must. Use the colossi/gateway force to zone out major power points on the map, and have carrier production rolling by the time your opponents' thor/viking production can catch up to the phoenixes. If you can bait stims with the phoenixes, all the better.

tl;dr use robo (immortal/colo) against bio, stargate (phoenix/carrier) against mech. Templar should be a moneydump.

sadly this can not occur while playing with people of high level ( which i sometimes meet in unranked matches on SF they simply go bio with viking when i do the robo they increase viking and collosi become useless so i have to use templar but after they start tanking a little all goes away

Convince yourself. I play this style fairly consistently at diamond level, and there are tons of flaws in my mechanics. I haven't the least doubt in my mind it could be adapted to suit even the highest levels of play.

The thing with Terran is that they have the same production facility for vikings and medivacs. If they overproduce vikings to deal with the colossus/phoenix, their ground army evaporates against a gateway warp-in follow-up. If they underproduce vikings to have a beefy-enough bio/medivac force, the phoenixes will at least get in the way long enough for the colossi to do their thing.

I don't know. Maybe I'm biased. I think stargate-based play is really underrated in WoL, particularly in PvT. All I'm saying is that it's at very least a viable option, and I've had plenty of success with it even against higher level players than myself. And I definitely have a much better time against drop play with phoenix than I do with HTs and cannons. Just saying.
