i just split my marines up individually into a giant field, much like a minefield and then just have them stand there

:B


I think you need 3000 apm to pull that off . Unless immobile marines are your thing.

I understand that the technique discussed is patrol splitting, but what is manual splitting? Is it a-click splitting your marines instead of p-splitting them?

I was always under the impression that you had to right click your marines far back and start manually spreading them out by right clicking individual areas, but once I tried a-clicking instead of right-clicking it became 500 times easier. Is right clicking the manual split way, or a-clicking?

I can see why one would p-click rather than a-click since the marines sort of magic box, and I might keep the patrol hotkey as Q from now on just for that, but a-clicking seems to work fine.


Manual splitting is move-command or right click.

Take it up in Griffith's thread (linked in OP). He's the author and manager of the map

oh wow. this is extremely effective and so easy to do. I feel it undermines some of the micro of the game...

Lets remember you almost always have to hit clumps of marines with banes or you lose the exchange economically... i wonder what patrol attack with banelings does.. of anything

Hi, I haven't tried the map yet but how about having your main group of marines split into 2-3 control groups before the battle? I guess it wouldn't work for me as I have a small hand and I'm not very good at quick "keyboard hand panning" but it seems faster to use hotkeys.

I'm not sure at which level of play you need to split well and my personal opinion is that in large numbers banelings are a waste of gas but I'd expect that having 3 control groups of marines in one cluster is a good start.

Why is it that you would need to use patrol and not a-move? I thought units behaved the same on patrol and a-move? I'd rather not stretch to P for this, and I'd prefer not to have to change the hotkeys. But if there's a difference between p-move and a-move, then I'll have to.

Beautifully microed units are so sexy ^^ pro-tip, OP

I wonder if the same concept of patrolling could work with protoss units? or not because of the subtleties of each matchup. Sexy nonetheless.

has anyone rebounded their Patrol hotkey to another key other than P? it's just so far away for what could be a relatively critical ability.

Yes mines on Q so it's right above A. I patrol split for a while now whenever I see incoming balls of death, or need a quick concave.

This is a cool trick, props to you for figuring it out, but isn't the way ZvT is won by having a Speedling surround while the Banelings run in to finish things off?
