1: CC 2: rax 3: marines (or m+m) 4: tanks or marauders 5: vikings 6: medivacs 7: initial scout, drop group 8: starport 9: ghost I remapped 1-2, 8-9 to the thumb buttons on my mouse (g700). Pretty natural feel. I also remapped the space bar as ctrl, and the tab and caps lock keys as shift. Limits the distance my fingers have to travel. | ||

For people who like to have units lined up at 1 2 3 for some reason (I think this stems back to BW) 1: WHOLE ARMY 2: Doesn't have to be anything 3: Doesn't have to be anything, can be unit producing structures 4: CCs 5: All unit producing structures For this setup you CTRL click whatever unit you want either on the battlefield or the icons in the bottom middle of the screen. Say banelings come to hit you, you stim all of your marines/marauders and ctrl click your marines to micro only them. Setup for SC2 that makes most sense to me: 1 CCs 2 Unit producing structures 3 WHOLE ARMY 4 Anything or nothing 5 Anything or nothing 6 Anything or nothing As for the unit producing structures you tab through them to make the units you want | ||

CC main: not 50 energy CC expo: 50+ energy I have been putting new CCs on separate control groups but that is quite inefficient if the answer to the above is yes. 2. I notice no one has SCVs for building supply/production factories as control groups. I usually keep 2 SCVs for building supply when needed (on 0) and 3-4 SCVs for production facilities (on 9). Do you guys just F-key to your main and click SCVs when you need to build stuff or...? Or do you keep SCVs on standby and F-key a passive SCV (I've changed my F-keys but I think that used to be the F1 key). | ||

You call down 4 mules at your expo, your expo will now have 0 energy and your main will have 200 energy. You call down 4 mules at your main, your expo will now have 200 energy and your main will have 0 energy. You move your army to the middle of the map and use 4 scans to kill DTs, your expo will now have 0 energy and your main will have 200 energy. (assuming the expo is closer to the middle of the map) Is this significant? Im not sure... | ||

1-5 for army ` (tilde key) building scv's alt+1 (was 7) for all barracks alt+2 (was 8) for all factories alt+3 (was 9) for all starports alt+` (tilde key) for all CC's alt+f2-f4 to set screen hotkeys f2-f4 selects screens this way all my macro is set on alt+ keys to easily cycle through. now to build units i use grid keys. i find this much easier to move between qwert while macroing than moving across the entire right side of the key board. i still have unit abilities set to their normal hotkeys (stim = t and so on). Hope this gives you some ideas. | ||

1 CCs 2 Production 3 MMM/Special 4 Tanks/Special 5 Ghosts/Special The only key element is where you put your CCs and production. I prefer CCs on 1 and production on 2. | ||

1 Hellions/infantry 2 Mech units 3 Air units or ghosts, or if I'm in a pinch for hotkeys whatever 4 Barracks 5 Factories 6 Main CC 7 Starport 8 Usually my 4th base 9 My nat 0 My 3rd I've got larger hands than most people so reaching for 7 is still comfortable and 9 isn't much of a stretch. I keep my CCs on different hotkeys because I find it easier to managed the energy and scv production than when they're all on one hotkey. | ||

2 - army/special units 3 - barracks 4 - starport 5 - main CC 6 - natural CC and rest of CC's 7 - factory 8-0 - individual CC/PF's I believe this is the set IMMVP uses as well, or at least is very similar to that of his. I don't mind having my army in two control groups, but that's I'm very confident in my mouse control from playing Brood War and FPS games. However, I would recommend the following set: 1 - army 2 - auxiliary army 3 - special/more army 4 - barracks 5 - all CC's 6 - factory 7 - starport 8-0 individual CC/PF's This set functions best when you use function keys to jump between your main, natural, and expansions instead of individual hotkeys. | ||

I'll prolly try to switch to this. It seems a lot easier to keep track of everything and uses less groups. (^ Noob Terran. Been Terran for like a week, so take mine with a grain of salt..) | ||

Bio: 1: Main army of MMM - Vikings if I have some tanks 2: Small drop unit (used for hit and run) 3: Small drop unit (used for hit and run) 4: All Baracks 5: Vikings/air (not medivacs) - this is if I'm going pure Bio otherwise I use this for a Factory 6: Starports 7: 1st CC 8: 2nd CC 9: 3rd CC 0: a spare SCV so I get and use an SCV a bit faster When going Mech all my buildings are the same and the same with SCV's (the main reason is because of muscle memory which makes it hard to remember to hit 4 for Factories when I'm so use to them being 5. 1: Fast units like hellions 2: Slow units like tanks and thors 3: Air units of course I'd say it comes down to ur own preference. also dont worry if u screw up a lot when trying to change hotkeys or control groups. i screwed up a lot when i went from just one blob to multiple groupings for one army b/c of muscle memory. just practice and eventually ull get it | ||
