9. (Z) Broodlords get +attack from +air attack, Broodlings from +melee attack & Infested Terrans from +ranged attack.

so broodlords must be upgraded with a melee attack and not with air attack???

Marine range is 5 marauder range is 6, cannon range is 7. When units go into the bunker they get +1 range putting a marine bunker at range 6 and marauder bunker at range 7. So marauders can stop a cannon push but do not out range a cannon, in this situation you can either put the bunker closer and repair it with marauders inside or tech to tanks to clear them

526(?) TVT

Click on your opponents tanks to see their range - then move your tanks just inside their range line if you have vision or scans. (Obviously don't do this if you know that THEY have vision). Particularly useful in the early game if you have got an air unit out before your opponent.

Broolords benifit from the air upgrades, broodlords benifit from the ground upgrades.

When the broodling is fired and first hits, that is an air attack so air attack upgrades are in effect, after that point when the broodling is on the ground it benifits from ground melee and armor upgrades

Tip 468 correction : (Z) All zerg ground combat units have a creep speed multiplier of 1.3, except for hydralisks which have a speed multiplier of 1.5. (additional info: Queens have a speed multiplier of 2.65).

Alas youre 1 off. A cannon range is 7, not 6. A marine in a bunker is range 6. Marauder in there too is range 7 = to cannon. :^)



Huh... really? because i remember in a game i would put marines in a bunker that couldn't shoot cannons, but every time a new one was being built it would shoot that one. While I would put a marauder in that same bunker and it could start shooting cannons the marines couldnt (without the cannons shooting at them)

#527(?) ZvX - An 11overpool build overtakes a standard 14pool build in drone count at the 4:20 mark but at that point is approximately 85 minerals behind (this deficit will be made up over hte course of the game by the increased drone count). This also factors in an extractor being built at 1:40 and fully mined by three drones upon completion (at 14 supply before a 14 pool, i.e. 14gas/14pool). By skipping gas initially you can easily overcome a pool/gas build
The economics of an 11overpool18hatch vs 14pool/(X)Hatch have not yet been tested.

#528(?) ZvX - An 11overpool build into 18hatch will never cannon blocked by a protoss because you can have the capacity to have 6 lings out before your nat hatch (or none if so choose). In the same regard, the 11overpool build makes you much safer against 2rax pressure and any early zvz cheese.

The untested is false, and for some reason keeps getting repeated as a solution to the "medivac follow" problem, usually by folks who don't play Terran.

I've tested it a thousand times: The medivac will simply move through the entire queue list and end up following the last unit you shift-clicked. The best solution is to have each medivac follow a different unit, and cleanup the stragglers when the unit a medivac follows dies. Marauders are better to follow than marines, and thor are better than anything, so long as you can keep your bio close by. I usually have some medivacs following bio, some following tanks, for diversification purposes.

And, while it's probably been said before in this thread, don't rally your starport to a unit; the medivacs will pick the unit up. Rally them to other medivacs.

(P) #529: Colossi can be loaded into warp prisms. This could lead to interesting strategies if coupled with the extremely underrated Gravitic Drive upgrade.

(T) #530: If you are using a nuke to drive away an army and buy time (and they indeed flee) its often better to cancel the nuke. Players will generally return after hearing the "boom". If their is no boom, they may be overcautious and return much later.

531. Mules called down on close mineral patches mine 30 extra minerals but dont return them before death. Mules called down on far mineral patches do not overmine.

Also for: "415. (TvT) A Reaper beats a Hellion in 1v1, even if it has blueflame"

This is only true if the helion is not microed.

P55. remember the warp prism, it has been said on the thread that the warp prism is great for dropping and developing gosu micro, but also remember that it can take the place of a proxy pylon along with its laddering ability, its is great for multiple harrassment with only 1 warp prism, if you que up its movements you can have multiple harrassment points along with a reinforcement channel when needed all at the same time.

(as terran) when pulling workers to defend (or attack), instead of boxing (and selecting mules) just control click SCVs. + Show Spoiler +
It's debatable to pull mules when running from hellions (if you're going to lose mining time anyway, might as well let them absorb hits and save some scvs).

Because of the recent mech TvT, there has been alot discussion about siege tank splash. Where I am pretty sure even my favorit caster Artosis (Yes, I know, it breaks my heart) said thors didn't take splash damage from siege tanks as ultralisk does.

This is however wrong -.-

If Thors are clumped up, they will take splash (Clumping up happens pretty easily).
Thors take splash, (alot) I think it is just outside of the 100% area, in something like the 75% area. While ultralisk takes it at the 25% range, when clumped up (oddly not that consistently).

532ish. While hold-positioning a medivac, it can "elevator" units up and down cliffs, the same way a warp prism could in tip #156, and can funnel units through similarly to #152. Video. I am 98% sure this did not work when I submitted tip #152, so I suspect something changed with the "self-unload can be cancelled" patch fix in 1.3.

[Note: Video is super jumpy. Somebody with a better computer should tackle this one.]

The only plausible use I have found for this is funneling through like 6 SCVs on auto-repair, then as many marines, as many as 30 (!) as you can queue through. When the SCVs unload, they prevent the medivac from dying while the marines pop through.

533: You can play without creep animation, but with maximal graphical settings. Creep without animation allows to see Protoss Observer faster, than on creep without animation.

Also, here are 4 ways, how to make creep without animation or in SC1:BW "bricks-blocks" animation style. And you can raise a bit your FPW by deleting any animation from creep with having max graphical settings. It can be useful for peoples, who prefect to play on low settings, because only creep,

494. (ZvP) Getting +attack upgrades as Zerg vs Protoss is super effective! Not only are ranged zerg upgrades giving +2 damage to Roaches/Hydralisks, but Protoss armor upgrades also do not affect shields. [more data]

Ranged Zerg Upgrades only grant +1 damage to Hydralisks. Roaches do get +2 tho.
Still +atk is worth it for Hydras against Toss for the obvious reason of Shield/Health disparity.

534. Similar to 394 (you can hide scouts behind map features,) you can hide scouts behind enemy structures. See, e.g., HongUnPrime.WE v oGsSuperNova (Code S Ro32 Group G, Match 4 @ ~6:20; 8/17/11, VOD, season pass required, click match #4).

Also: This is another reason to have health bars set to "Always On."
