206. (Z) Larvae can be individually rallied. To reinforce your main army with (f.ex.) 10 Roaches, build 10 Roaches, hold shift and click a non-morphing larvae to deselect all non-roaches, then add the building roaches to a controlgroup. [Arn] It's much more effective to use Ctrl in this case. Just Ctrl+click one of the morphing eggs and all will be selected. | ||

Anyway I have two tips, one may be too much of an oddity, 351: [P] It takes about 5 sentries to maintain a constant forcefield. (4 mathematically I think, 5 is more realistic) 352: [P] You can place forcefields behind your melee units to 'squish' them to the front line, this could be helpful when using a large number of zealots in a very narrow choke. This can also be used to 'squish' enemy units together for more effective splash damage. | ||

356. (P) I don't know if it is viable on current ladder maps, but on Kulas Ravine it was possible to place proxy pylon under a tree and it could be seen only on minimap or by changing camera. 357. U should always be more aware when crossing bush on the map, for example a stalker poking to get some scouting can be killed by a marines of allining terran. 358. Take control of Xelnaga towers always when possible. U can try to catch the tower on metalopolis after checking close and before checking cross or before checking close air if you went counter clockwise. 359, (P) It is risky to run up the ramp with stalker(s) and/or zealot(s) because of Marauders Conclusive Shells, so try to check with a saved scouting probe, if there is possibility get some free shots until your shields are depleted. 360. When u are relying on sentries for defense, u should more aware of your ramp and get some map awareness by grabbing xelnaga towers. 361. Untypical scouting timing usually means something cheesy. Just don't over commit. 362. Zerg trying to scout with overlord on maps other than Shattered and Metalopolis can be 6pooling. 363. (P) Mixing up some DTs into regular army can be very effective. 364. When harassing terran mineral line always focus mules first. | ||

367: To nullify a Stalife drop (#366) you need to move-command your Banelings constantly. A less APM-intensive technique is to put your Banelings on hold position. Only the Banelings directly touching the Marauder will explode, not the other nearby Banelings. | ||

" (Timing) The fastest DT rushes hit between ~6:10-7:00~. [claim + screenshot (6:12)]" The fastest DT rush with proxy pylon comes a bit faster at 5:43. http://img97.imageshack.us/i/nostradadtproxypylon543.jpg/ | ||

Well, I've known we can chonoboost carriers because they are treated like buildings, with the interceptor production. I didn't realize shields generate faster on chronoboosted buildings until this thread, but since both can be done, it's unlikely not to work. Now, I'm not sure if it speeds up the time after damage is taken before shields start regenerating, but that would be even better. | ||

367. 2 simultaneous nukes kill almost all protoss buildings. Especially useful in the big gateway farms protoss tend to get and not defend too much. 4 gates and a few pylons is very doable with one double strike. | ||

Does not matter whether the carrier is empty, building interceptors, at max interceptors, damaged, undamaged or does or does not have upgrades. | ||
