All you can do is charge other units that are already moving. The only way this might be useful is if it's used with blinked stalker as the charged unit, which I did not know worked until just now (watching a video posted)Wait, you can charge into the enemy forces from farther than they can see .... SOUNDS AWFUL! Nonetheless, it's suiciding a stalker, and has a limited range of 8 (blink's range). In practical use though, blinking a stalker 8 units into the enemy will likely instantly kill the stalker, at which point the charge will stop. Considering the time it takes for the stalker to die, the zealots might have charged 1-2 extra squares, while you just used up their charge early, as well as pretty much sacrificed a stalker. So even with stalker exploit, it would still not be very useful, if useful at all. | ||

If you select all your zealots, tell them to "C" charge the one in the lead and then "A" attack off in the distance before they reach the zealot they're charging, even if you don't have a target, they'll all rush that direction for about 15 units. Pretty cool stuff. THIS THIS is the trick that is useful. Good job clarifying things man. more than double movement speed zealots for quite a long range in any direction, without having to be units there. it only works with attack-move and attack though, so you can't retreat to where no units are (very unlikely circumstance) | ||
