possible 317 (can't test because i am at work) but someone the other day was telling me if you have templar say 5 or 6 of them with lots of energy you can push f and click the enemies army on the minimap (just spam it) and it will autotarget medivacs and ghosts etc anything with energy (much easier than trying to find the damn ghost in the enemies bio army)- if anyone can test this just to make sure would be great

This has been posted again, and again, and again.


It's not listed on the front page, the one listed on the front was that scv's repair the medivac itself, not other mechanical units inside of it. So... yeah.

Unfortunately, that's not useful though T_T. Why would you ever WANT to blindly send your templar en mass towards an enemy army?!

Just wanted to add something incase people don't know.
This inparticular seems to need an asterisk
216. (T) Banshees deal more DPS to Colossi than Vikings.
*Vikings Range = 9 vs Air (collosus can be hit by air attack or ground (minus thors))
*Banshees Range = 6 vs ground

Your banshees will be much more suceptible to stalkers/sentry etc while the vikings can stay safely behind your bio ball.

There were more I had thought about while reading but didn't remember to write them down. Would you prefer I edit this post or make another one with additional things?

I also wanted to add a couple of mechanic things I didn't see specifically stated. I feel a lot of these can be consolidated but maybe that's not the approach you want to take.

318 - Ctrl+Click a unit OR structure - Will select all units of the same type in view (on screen) This is very useful for setting your control groups. (E.G. getting your banelings ONLY and your lings seperately. Also useful for microing (E.G. pull back units that dont shoot air while letting AA units attack up) This can also be used by ctrl clicking unit on screen, or ctrl clicking a unit that you've selected after boxing your entire army (sometimes it's easier to pick the sentries out of your list than finding them under a collosis (getting probes that snuck off with your army is nice too) 319 - Shift + Click will queue any command in the game. I am not aware of any commands that cannot be shift clicked, except commands that are currently not available for that unit. (E.G. you can't tell a morphing ling, to transform to a baneling because a larvae doesn't have the ability to be a bling) Most useful for toss/terran when building buildings and setting your units to mine again immediately. Can also be used for queue or rally, shift a few locations to have your unit take a differant path than the "shortest route" (around watch towers vision or have marines spawn IN your base then move towards the ramp for better attack angle)
P.S. I'm nub. If you'd like you can follow me @xthurst but its not worth it ill be honest

I doubt you use this to ONLY send your templar, but imagine hitting hotkey for templar while the rest of your army is attacking, and just clicking minimap rather than trying to micro and find that pesky ghost.. seems good to me!

Not at all... honestly sounds awful and can't possibly fathom wanting to do that even under extremely particular scenarios, especially since all the templar would probably try to feedback the same ghost.

Well the point is you have to test it before you should so readily discard it.

Not sure if this one has been posted, but a Thor's strike cannon stuns buildings, to the extent that they cannot be cancelled.

A nasty surprise when you try to cancel a hatchery under attack, only to find out you'll lose it entirely.

#319 - (T) If you have two bunkers close to each other, and they're not full with units, rally them to each other, so if one get destroyed, the units from this bunker will automatically go in the other bunker

315. (Z) For an efficient destructible rocks destruction as Zerg (but even P & T) you can:
Tip A:
1) rally your hatches to the ground 2) shift queue to the rocks 3) shift queue back to the ground rally point. This way spawning units will go straight to the rocks and back "home" after job is done, and units spawning after rocks have been taken down will not stand near the hatches but go to the rally point.
Tip B:
If both sides of the rocks are attackable you can:
1) move your units to the rocks 2) shift queue a move command to the ground on the other side of the rocks (the one not being attacked) 3) shift queue to the rocks again 4) shift queue home. This way units (best with zerglings) will get a fast surround.
Tip C:
Combine A+B!

362. (Z) Hotkeying additional queens to (2), or any other hotkey simplifies spreading creep and allows you to use them in battle without risking your larva production.

If you put SCVs on autorepair into a Medivac and load up damaged mechanical units, the Medivacs will repair the Units inside the Medivac.

I Tested this in a Unittester map and saw it on day 9 in the Terran special Funday Monday episode where someone loaded 4 scvs and 2 tanks in 2 medivacs and dropped a zerg base

In the voice of Crocodile Dundee, "Now THAT"S a tip."

edit:

Tip: A sensor tower shows units ( hallucinated or real ) as blobs on the map. Protoss can hallucinate 4 probes per cast. Hallucinating a fairly large quantity of probes and sending them into sensor tower range and toward an expansion can pull the Terran army out of position for DT harass elsewhere. At a minimum, it could simply force a scan.

I thought that was the baneling vs. light. 1/2 supply? Cracklings also beat DT's in terms of DPS per supply: 8.5 per crackling, 1/2 supply, *4 = 34 DPS for 2 supply. Hell, even zerglings without adrenal glands beat the DT, with 28.8 DPS at 2 supply worth. DT's have 26.6 DPS for 2 supply.

At +3 attack upgrades, the 4 cracklings are doing 40.8, the DT is doing 35.6. Cracklings beat DT's in terms of DPS per supply, and regular zerglings do too.

So both the baneling and the zergling beat the DT in terms of DPS for supply. 2 reapers outdps the dark templar against buildings and light as well, and 2 reapers is the same supply cost as one dark templar. I suppose you can choose to ignore banelings since they only get to attempt to attack once, but the zergling still wins hands down, as does the reaper against light/buildings.

If you count spells, HT's and Infestors beat the DT as well.

So no, DT's are nowhere near being the best DPS per supply.

if you read carefully u will see that what i posted is not the same as


114. A SCV on auto-repair inside a bunker can repair itself. (Source?)

or

163. An scv on autorepair will repair a bunker (or medivac) from within. [false?]


because those are both false. a lonly scv can't repair it self but they can repair each other and they don't repair the transport if i recall correctly.

what i wrote said they can repair other mecanical units such as other scvs and Tanks/Helions/vikings/other SCVs if transported inside the same medivac.
