218. It is possible for Siege Tank to kill 8 clumped banelings with focus fire instead of relying on AI, dunno how this works on bigger numbers, but it can give a clue that tanks with even better AI would be even more powerful. Here is the replay.
No pain, no gain.

- Queen's dps is the same as a roach
- Queens use their air attack against colossi, meaning that they can hit them from 7 range and outrange them if they don't have range upgrade
- Queens can outrun (slow) overlords
- If you miss some injects, consider placing down a creep tumor
- If you fake a push vs a zerg, you can usually force him to build units instead of drones. Just be careful about his "counter"

#202, +1 armour for zealots + gaurdian shields makes it a 50 shot just to get rid of shield against marines.


Incorrect. Armor does not reduce the damage that shields take. Its been that way since Starcraft 1.

13 shots for a marine to kill the shields, but then 100 shots to kill the zealot's health.

Yes, but it is important to note that because queens have a x2 attack for 4 damage each, that their DPS falls very quickly versus units with armor.

Against a unit with 1 armor (a maurader), the queen's DPS is only 6, whereas the roach's DPS is 7.5.

If you get the +1 range attack upgrade, the queen actually has a better DPS than the roach (10 for queen, 9 for roach), versus units with 0 armor (marine).

@ 175 in main post - observers can't be hallucinated as well

@189 in main post - http://img714.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2011042215272.jpg/ screenshot of DTs warpin at 6:12, tho its a complete all in, you don't have any other units( maybe i can work a zealot in there), and is only achievable on big maps( gsl style), and you need to get one gas from the expo and mine from there as well.

It's still viable if you want to grind wins in bronze or team matches :D

220. You can set up an infinite patrol loop with your scouting worker to be more efficient your scout. This will allow lower level players and low multitasking/APM to keep macroing while being able to get a scout of their opponent's base.

221. (Z) As a zerg player u can gas steal and cancel it few times before its finished. It can provide additional scouting.

222. Backspace is the default hotkey for center on base and can be used to cycle through bases; For that matter default hotkeys can be rebound (Such as using side mouse for center on base)

223. (T) Thors do significantly more dps to ground units than air units, assuming there do not exist giant clumps

224. (T) Siege tanks do more single target dps when unsieged

223. Versus splash damage units like siege tanks, take 2 seconds to pull a couple of units ahead of the rest before engaging. This dramatically lowers splash damage you will recieve.

224. When engaging planetary fortresses, abuse the fact that the PF will attack the closest enemy unit.

225. It pays to have redundant tech structures as Zerg in the late game, especially when you're maxed out at 200/200. The cost of a second Spire or even Greater Spire is a small price to pay to keep from getting locked out of your vital tech.

As an extension of tip #68:

by default, F1 selects an idle worker. Pressing ctrl+F1 selects all idle workers. Very useful if you have multiple idle workers spread across your base(s).

Also, I have a question about tip #5 (drop-trick). I have a group of overlords, and I tell them to drop at a location. Then as they arrive, I do the move-drop like normal (select the overlords, click the drop command, and click on an overlord, so it drops as it's moving, repeat for each overlord).

Now my question is, if, while the overlords are move-dropping, I shift-click another move command on the overlords, will they still continue dropping after they move again?

Or, to put my question another way: do move commands and/or shift-queued move commands cause a move-dropping overlord to stop dropping?

Some errors/typos.

87. 3x3, not 2x2 111. nydus, not nexus

87. proof is that you can place 3x3 evo chamber where your hatch once lied.

You are right except for HTs, they CAN be hallucinated, check for yourself in the game.
