Quickly set the same control group, select the group and press merge (i.e "ctrl + 1, 1, r") Unfortunately they all become hallucinations when I do it, meaning I lose the real hts This guide works. To make real archons just morph them by FRESH-MADE templars. So you need to make hallucinations before this point. | ||

I think the more interesting question is whether or not this trick should be legal in online tournaments. The consensus among Koreans is that this trick is almost impossible to do in offline conditions, but much more feasible online with lag. | ||

Update: I just did it on LAN. Maybe it's possible to do in single player too, but I just got better at it after practicing? I'll keep doing it until I can do it consistently on LAN, then I'll try it in single player. Second update: Since this trick requires input latency of a sort, and there is some of it in LAN, but not in single player, this is possible to do in all multiplayer forms of StarCraft. It's just not possible in single player. Therefore, I say, let people do it and leave it in the game. There's no reason to ban it from LAN tournament play, because it works over a LAN just as well as over the internet. StarCraft is simply coded in such a way that there will always be a little bit of input delay in multiplayer, whether over the internet or over a LAN. This is a part of multiplayer StarCraft. If it turns out to be a balance problem (it won't, it makes the game better and more interesting), then it can be patched out. Do *not* fuck this up, Blizzard. This is a historic decision. | ||

This is possible on all forms of multiplayer StarCraft: 8 turn rate extra high battle net, 24 turn rate low battle net, and LAN. It is not, I believe, possible in single player (I have not managed to do it there). It is easier the laggier it is, but even over LAN, it is possible to do pretty consistently. | ||

If the HTs have to be made last that will limit it, but you can still exceed the supply cap a little. | ||

Every new discovery was a "balance change". Leave it in until it proves itself as a problem. I predict that it won't be a problem. Protoss is the weakest race anyway, just not by much. And this doesn't make Protoss that much stronger. It's probably fine. At least give it a chance. I can do it on LAN and on battle net, so if it is decided that this should not be in the game, it should be patched out, not banned in the rules, because as it is, it's simply an inescapable part of multiplayer StarCraft. | ||

Many of the BroodWar speedruns require similar tricks (for Crackmutas for examplke), so there's probably even a way to make it work in SP. There's probably always a frame or so delay in interface updates. Have you tried it at slowest game speed? | ||
