561. (P) Chrono boosting does not only increase the research/building speed but also hasten the regeneration of the building's shields (only usable on buildings which can build or research stuff).

563. When fast expanding as zerg, if you suspect cheese you can place spines in your main and bring them to your natural when it completes.

564. While scouting with your worker, you can make sure he has a mineral while scouting. This is good because no matter where you get surrounded you can always press C and your worker will mineral-walk through the surround effortlessly.

Tip 565, if an opponents scout has a mineral, if you get a surround, just right click and a move and right click and a move similar to how you made drones attack while moving in Starcraft 1

"For ergonomics (important!), position your mouse in a comfortable position, and try to use only your hand to move it, for precision and comfort."

That is ENTIRELY opinion, low sens players move their whole arm, it is mostly a FPS crowd but its good for sc2 etc as well...

I can reach level 27 on Marine Split Challenge using 400dpi, and ~22 using 800 on a 1920x1080 screen.

Also pretty sure i read in the zowie thread that all of Slayers use 800dpi, at that sensitivity setting, you cant go screen edge to screen edge with moving JUST your hand, unless you curve the mouse to right or left which will murder accuracy and precision.

Also, the muta tip, 1 armor does remove 1 damage from each bounce, yes, but bounces do (8?)-3-1 damage, there is a cap on minimum damage, with 3 armor vs 0 attack the second and third bounce would both do 0.5 damage.

Sweet tip, thanks. Might save my ass some day in a FFE or to slowly regen 1k shields on a nexus after a drop or battle to prevent snipes.

It reminds me of the 2v2 thing - If your ally leaves, you can lift off his barracks and chrono boost it, making it fly faster... sadly it doesnt work with shared control, one of those little imbalances caused by 1 player leaving (other being you get his minerals AND income 5 minutes before sharing is disabled)

If you're offracing, don't use your best portrait from your main race, guaranteed to get cheesed. Tested today in about 2 dozen games, first half with queen portrait, second half with zealot portrait.

567. you can pan the camera in and out to "create terrain ripples" (#219) to "see" a stationary cloaked unit (observer/ ghost calling nuke / dt holding a tower etc)

cloak a banshee of yours, target it with HSM and fly the cloaked banshee into the oponents army.

When simcitying be careful not to trap your own units. This even holds true for Collossi. Luckily Terrans can lift most of their buildings whereas Protoss can not.

568. At the very beginning of the game, when there's nothing to do, center your camera over your natural and where you'll usually take your third and save camera positions to those locations. That saves you from having to do this later when your APM might be needed elsewhere or you might forget.

Revision to 477:
477. Activating the red/green color scheme can make it easier (it's a matter of preference).
verified: The default hot-key is Alt-F
unverified: The IFF button next to the Mini-map

Duplicate tips:
421. (P) Sentries (forcefields) can be used in conjunction with High Templars (storms) to:
a) Block the "large" mineral exits at the sides, potentially killing alot of workers with your storms.
b) Prevent enemies from escaping the AoE from storms.
c) Squeeze units into eachothers for over-the-top AoE damage (se #392)

492. (P) When storming a mineral line, a few well placed forcefields can cause great effect.

# (T) Position maruaders around your bio army to protect them.

#(T) Reapers are a mineral efficient way to scout early-lategame.

#(T) After scouting a base with reapers, if there is no response, start killing probes.

#(T) You can drop from a fungalled medivac.

#(P)Place pylons around the map so you can warp in anywhere.

#(Z) Engage mech on creep to close the distance faster.

#(Z) Zerg mechanics allow for a stronger army earlier or a stronger army later. Use this to your advantage when allining a player
#(E)When you kill a base, prepare for an allins, drops, and econ cheese. If they immediately rebuild, make yourself a base.
#(Z) Roaches are a good way to punish a fast expansion
#(Z) At around 16 mutalisks, it's okay to engage one unsupported turret at a time.
#(Z) Lob infested terrans into marines near a siege line to deal splash damage
#(Z)Adrenile glands is a mustget upgrade for any lategame lings
#(R) Just before your game starts, your curser turns to the one of the respective race that you are playing as that game.
#(P) A zealot stalker push can force a zerg to make lings, and to make them worry about a four gate.
#(PvT) Poke with your initial stalker, as it outranges marines, and can move faster.
