131 You can stop any dropship from unloading its cargo (in particular, a vomitting nydus worm) by issuing a stop command to it.

Just to clear things up FG does not kill lings in one hit. It takes them down to 1 hp, i just checked in unit tester.

Technically incorrect, it does 36 damage, but they regenerate 2 hp before it kills them.

Improvement on #129: It is almost always a good idea to enable permanently visible health bars in the gameplay options. This helps target, pull back, or heal wounded units.

132: A Planetary Fortress cannot catch up to a speedling. So if you micro speedling around the PF will spin around trying to hit the ling which allows your roaches to kill the PF without taking damage

133: it takes 19 banelings to kill a PF

134: You can insantly kill Protoss gateway units that are warping in by destroying the pylon that is powering the area that they are warping in to.

9. Broodlords get +attack from +air attack


What does this mean? I thought only the broodling's melee matters. What do Broodlords get from air attack?

Not quite correct. The money for the unit is refunded, and the warpgate cooldown for that unit is reset. Killing the power source does, however, prevent the warpin.

Also, regarding the "protoss units don't take additional damage while warping in" fact. They don't take additional damage as such, but they do start at low health. If you are fighting a protoss army and spot units warping in, it's still wise to target fire the warping in units. If you can DPS fast enough to kill them before they finish warping in that means you don't need to deal damage >= the unit's full health.

Broodlords create broodlings when they attack. Those Broodlings benefit from melee attack & armour upgrades found at the evolution chamber. However, the Broodlord attacks ALSO cause instant direct damage to the enemy unit they are tagetting (~25 if I remember correctly) - the damage caused by this attack is increased by the air attack upgrade at the spire.

135: You can see what unit is being produced from a stargate by the shape of the semi warped in unit in the core of the structure.

P136: Without air attack upgrades, a hallucinated unit survives long enough to charge a voidray to max.

P137: Although very situational, when fleeing a battle, you can use charge on your own units to help the straggler zealots catch up to the rest of the army.

P138: Carriers can target fire a unit/building and fly very far away from the interceptors until the unit/building i destroyed.

P139. A Pheonix can lift an egg just before it hatches and the unit in the egg will not be able to spawn untill the graviton bean duration has ended. (Pretty useless but interesting)

to activate towers easiear when u have many units..grab all your units , send them to the tower.hold shift and click the unit u want to stay at the tower (zerglin,marine,zealot, the cheapest..) that unit is now deselected so just tell your army to stay where u want it.. (DONT FORGET TO RE-HOTKEY IT BECOUSE IF U DONT,AS SOON AS YOU TELL IT TO MOVE AGAIN , THE WATCHTOWER UNIT WILL COME BACK)

#141: As Zerg, bind a single hatchery to a hotkey. By tapping this hotkey you can see the progress bar for spawn larvae on that hatchery at the bottom of the screen.

#142: As Zerg, hotkey all your buildings that contain upgrades to the same hotkey as your queen(s). This allows you to easily tab through to start/watch upgrades without altering your queen behaviour.

#143: Creep tumours can spawn additional creep tumours

#144: Creep tumours can spread creep up and down cliffs providing that a "seed" of creep is created in range first (by using either overlord spit or by starting and cancelling a hatchery).

P145. Carrier interceptors can be set to auto-build much like SCVs can be set to auto repair. Simply right click the interceptor icon.

146. Siege tanks, archons, colossus and certain other units with splash damage can hit cloaked or burrowed units if you target a sacrificial unit standing right next to them.

P147. Colossus ordered to attack a friendly unit and then ordered to stop attacking before the beams cross each other can do splash damage to enemy units without harming the friendly unit. Use this to hit nearby cloaked or burrowed units, or to line up more enemies in the line-shaped fire.

(the animation will play out in full, but the friendly will not take damage)
