I didn't know until recently that chrono heals shields of buildings faster as well



what? really??? i dont believe that one

This is definitely true.

Apparently I just learned that Queens aren't armored, I'm so confused that they aren't, people saying it in this thread, even Artosis saying it in one of his casts, I was just thinking; "what idiots?"
I was so certain that Immortals totally eat Queens...

Wouldn't Void Rays have been much, much more effective against Zerg in WoL if Queens were armored?

Masters and it just occured to me that I don't have to shift queue workers back to mineral lines every time I tell them to build something. Makes building stuff in hectic situations so much easier and makes playing terran flow so much better.

Well you dont have to do it, but if you dont do it, you'll be losing mining time left and right

took me 10 years to learn that you can click "drop" on dropships to drop while moving the dropship.
i used to hotkey individual dropships 1, 2, 3, 4 , etc. and click on unit icon to drop them individually

Day[9] enlightened me that I can use scroll to quickly send resources to my buddy in 2v2 game. I learned that after about 1,5 year of playing^^

Also I learn new things in HotS all the time. I recently found out that I have to attack the rocks instead of just righ-clicking them. Also I've found out that Thor now has 2 modes:D

Is there a option to turn that off? I mean WoL style?

I donno if this has been posted already, but when controlling large control groups with multiple kinds of units in the group you can CTRL+SHIFT+click to remove that type of unit from your control group entirely

Wtf, I thought I was being trolled, but it's actually true. Well I learned something from this thread, at last.
I'm not really Protoss, so eh, that's my excuse :D

Edit: It's mentioned in Liquipedia.

took me a while to find out about auto split :D


I saw this in Destiny's stream yesterday , he split a load of bands without dragging boxes quick , I was so confused ! I have been box dragging to split for ages !

Can someone explain auto-split to me plz :O !?!?!

This is actually a VERY good and informative thread , nice 1 to the OP !


I think he just meaned workers auto split option for the beginning of a game. =)


Awwww ok , kinda glad to be honest , coz I enjoy dragging boxes to make my concaves and such !

Oh my god, it took me to page 5 to read something I didn't already know. Now I know I play this game wayyy too much if I knew everything beforehand (relevant to gameplay at least).

EDIT: Ok, not true, I was fairly confident it wasn't. I was fully aware Queens haven't ever been armored .

Here's something that will blow your mind: I just found out last week that you can queue up moving drops in conjunction with boost by clicking the first location, then shift click D on dropship, shift boost and then shift clicking on the second location, and the dropship will drop all the units in a line from A to B and will not even stop moving.

Better still if you are going for 2 mine drop one in Nat and one in Main you can queue this, click on point before the Nat, shift click Boost, shift click Nat, shift click on 1 mine, shift click main, shift click second mine, shift click exit route from base. This will make the dropship boost before it gets to the Nat and drop one mine at each base without stopping, and lets you scout the entire base without any micro. You have to burrow the mines manually, but it's a sick tactic. Sounds more complicated than it actually is, but it's just an advanced use of the shift queue technique.

I am pretty confident it works against ALL armoured units, land or air. I've seen too many pros use void rays to deal with ultras for it to only work against air.

Lol, void ray charge works on all armored units.
It's just that Queens have never been armored in the first place.
