EPTTvX - When you push out early game, rally (some of) your production facilities to your mineral line to mitigate counter-drop damage while your army is on the map. That is, unless you are rallying them to your army units as reinforcements.

This is incredibly useful due to most protosses not making a lot of observers all game (generally 1-3) Wrong. In a typical macro game, I probably produce 10+ observers. I hide a few in dead spots (above random raised terrain) as well in likely flight paths, as well as keeping 2+ with my army at all times. | ||

I challenge you to look up some protoss vs terran replays: both pro level and not pro level. You will not see that most people build that many. I commend you for producing that many observers, but firmly believe that this is not a common trait that most protoss players have. I'm also surprised that you can spend 750+ gas on observers, and still have enough for a typical zealot-high templar-archon-colossus lategame composition. | ||

Not to mention having all that supply tied up in observers. I generally make do with 2-3 >_>. | ||

(This works because creep tumors will "fill in" non-creep space, and so if 2 tumors are filling in the same area, it will fill up faster. Great for building a creep road to your opponent.) (Z) Use one of your first overlords to wait in a dead space area near the enemies base. This will allow you to remember to sacrifice an overlord to scout, or perhaps wait until it is evolved to an overseer to provide constant scouting with changelings. (ZvT ZvP) When a SCV/Probe scout comes to your base, use one worker to attack it. This will help put micro pressure on your opponent, as well as let you keep an eye on what he is doing(bunker/cannon rush). Keep in mind that the protoss may have already dropped a pylon, try to deduce if he is trying to keep your worker away from a certain area of your base. | ||

If you don't have the APM to micro your worker scout without letting your macro slip, set it on a closed patrol loop and it will circle perpetually, until its death or you move it out. To do this, you can queue about 6 patrol points, make the last point on top of the first. | ||

The charge will be used on the turret itself, allowing your army to get some extra shots off and kite more easily. Colossus might also waste a few shots on them. Keep the Raven itself away from HT's though. Already said. | ||
