it seems mostly useful to do a bit into mid-game and into late-game, where you won't be moving your queens too dynamically around the map, but just spawning larva. always a chuckle to see the posters that say, "this will never be used ever, too much work," then 3 yrs later we'll see Zerg foreigner pros, and korean Zerg pros using it. Just saving my spot in thread so i can lol a few years down the road  good stuff OP. | ||

I have a suggestion though. Rather than measuring the waypoint size by the size of your screen I suggest doing it by the size of the hatchery. Simply put your queen parrallel (sp?) to the bottom of your hatch and have her do laps from that point to the top of the hatch and back again. Not sure how many laps it will take for the 30 seconds though, I might go test it. | ||

I wonder if an improvement could be using buildings (spawning pool or extractor or something) as the "markers" you queue up move commands to. This would mean it takes less effort to "guess" how much time it takes because once you work out the travel time to different building placements you just have to memorise the distance between buildings when you make them. Here's a lovely picture of what I mean: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/W8N9a.png) To the people that don't seem to get why this is awesome: The idea behind this trick is it gives you more open windows to do other stuff (say a battle that requires a lot of micro) and then you don't end up punishing yourself by missing a timing or going back to your bases to spawn larva. Once there is a lull in action and you do have time you can queue up more rounds. Nice discovery either way  Hmmmmmmm. How about using the minerals as markers? or mins and a gas? Your picture gave me the idea | ||

I think that would be pretty cool if you could do it quickly and by second nature. I haven't seen that yet | ||
