I dont understand how I figured this out before all the smart people. And I dont even main Zerg!
It makes macro zerg ez! (But I find myself unable to do much micro while doing this) Sauron zerg here we go!

Not fair T.T Very nice discovery. Chrono Boost and Warp Gates so (relatively) hard now

That's the microphone key but afaik everything will be remappable eventually.

Tried this method today in some games. Definitely will take some getting used to but it's very very efficient and powerful.

Do I remember you from Aoe3 Roark? This is an amazing find, I play random so usually get confused switching to different mechanics each game. However this makes it extremely easy.

If its the same Roark he has always been a great contributor to the games he plays. Many thanks sir. if it isn't the same guy you have a long lost twin somewhere who is also a gamer.

Now with this mechanic idea and being able to create all units with hatcheries on the same hotkey zerg macro is by far the easiest in my opinion. This would also work for chronoboost nexus? If only there was a way to 'backspace' through buildings?

Thanks, but it isn't the same RoarK. It is good to know that my dopple-ganger is a nice guy though!

I've also done a bit more testing with the Townhall (Backspace) key. And it seems like it wants to cycle in a clockwise motion on official maps. It also continues its cycle even if you move away from the command center.

So if the cycle is 1, 2, 3, 4. And you go to 1, 2, 3, and then mouse away or jump to a battle --the next time you press [backspace] you will jump to 4. This might be useful to some.

i group the queens into 1 group and i use larvainjection on the minimap

took a little time before i had the aiming, but now its just like useing it on the unitscreen
i think its the best and fastest way to use larvainjection nowadays.

I think this method is amazing -- it is now my way of doing it. Thanks for sharing! I agree that it's a problem when there isn't a queen nearby, but honestly there SHOULD be a queen for each base, preferably by the time it is done building. If anything, this should keep you thinking about it. I always like to keep an "extra" queen in case one is killed of to fight off early air attacks and spawn creep tumors en masse. Good method on 1v1 and 2v2 plat, imo.

Thanks. I do the same. I have an extra queen around for creep tumors, and then it gets sent to any expo that needs it.

Another feature really helpful for zergs is you can now hold down a hotkey to morph new units. there's a very short delay and then it near instantly morphs all the larvae (or say zergling--> banelings). veeeeeeery helpful. I also hold S down when waiting for new larvae to spawn as well



this has been a gem of a secret for soo long. I cannot believe this is in the game, because of how easy it makes macro, especially for zerg

This is definitely what I was doing. My friend told me to do this after the wireframe fix and it has worked perfectly so far! I was wondering how many people were using this as well

This was actually posted on these forums the very first week after the patch. It was just hidden in one of the OMGz Queenz R now br0k3n threads.
