This is probably a bug, but you can semi-permanently rotate your camera to either to the left or right without holding down a key.
  1. Set Rotate Left/Right to any modfier + any key, e.g. Ctrl+Z
  2. In game, Hold down Ctrl+Z. Now release Ctrl before Z, then release Z
  3. Your camera should now be rotated to either the left or right without you holding down any key.
  4. Canceled by opening the main menu, opening a chat (default: enter), or rotating in the same direction, but releasing the key before the modifier. I.e. you'll have to be pretty quiet if you want to keep your camera rotated.
Applications:
  • Enjoy Starcraft from a new perspective.
  • Possibly avoid hidden widow mines more easily during a planned attack, e.g. Oracle to the main base/Mutas harass.
  • Abuse certain map layouts to give you a better point of view of the battlefield.

Why Mothership Core should recall enemy unit? But this is definely a good reminder-tip against todays recalls

Oh, I guess I wasn't very thorough about checking whether or not the trick was already known. Thanks for the quick notice

i wish blizzard would use these facts in the loading screens. please consider persuading them, jak.
do you think the "workers cant pass through sieged tanks" fact is a bug?
moreover, what about the multihit glitch/bug:

# of ways to kill cloaked units without detection, ex. splash damage

Too many BW games forced me to use Archon splash to kill lurkers. With Lurkers set to return in LotV I'd save this one for then

I'd pitch the idea to blizzard, but they're in super crunch time mode right now (and likely will be until LotV release) and I don't want ask them to take their time away from that. I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future though!

As far as the multihit, I vaguely remember this being the old way (its possible for only one blade to hit) and they changed it to the way it is now intentionally, but Its a very vague and inaccurate memory that I'm not willing to rely on. Do you remember anything like that, or do you know what patch that was?

no, i only remember the charge patch to always guarantee a hit resulting in the bug of charging all over the map.
however, i think this is at least a glitch. if an scv is inside a bunker, it shouldnt die.


/edit: are you talking about the zealot specifically or multihit attacks in general? i was able to recontruct the same thing with two thors and a medivac. a thors hits the other one one time, the other one gets picked up but still gets hit the second time although it is in a medivac already


btw i found another bug in my last game, maybe you can look at that

There seems to be misconception about the way MULEs mine minerals, that I would like to get rid of: Multiple MULEs CAN mine from the same mineral field at the same time. That being said, MULEs will still try spread out evenly across nearby mineral fields. I confirmed this by runnnig some tests in a custom game and then in the "hots unit tester online v1.3" ( battlenet://starcraft/map/2/139457 on EU).

@nQL
I did more testing, in order for MULES to mine over each other there has to be no available mineral patches the moment they hit the patch. Its possible, but requires a loooot of mules. Gonna get some more specifics and make a video.

You should cover experience points. For you can see if a terran building burned down or got repaired through the fog of war by using experience points. Or you can see how many units you killed with a widow mine through the fog of war by showing experience points. Units and buildings have unique experience given but I have never given the time to see how much each specific unit gives and you could possibly identify what units you killed by looking at the experience.
