well i have played many games i think that one of the main reasons i lose is because i always forget to build units. when im making a push, i forget to make units so i always lose unit building time. does anyone have any way of building units while pushing? i know this is a stupid question but can anyone help?
Hotkeys are your friends here in these situations. Make sure you hotkey your key production and economic buildings for quick access when you need them. Select your building, say barracks, hold cntrl and select a number to access them on the keyboard. Then when you hit that number, you simply hotkey what units you want and hey presto...they build while your off to conquer the galaxy.
Ctrl 4 for ur main building (nexus command center) ctrl 3 for ur gateways/barracks/hatchery ctrl 2 range units crtl 1 melee units during ur attack press 3 once and spam the hotkeys to the units u want and set the rally point to where ur army is. If ur toss build a pylon as u push along and warp guys there. If u cant spend all ur money fast enough, get an expansion
ive been wondering this for a while now. say i have 4 barracks. 2 of them have reactors and 2 of them have tech labs. if i get them all into one hotkey group and i only want to make marauders from the tech lab barracks and only marines from the reactor barracks, if i press 4 times "a" for marines, will it only make marines in the reactor or will it just make marines in whichever barracks i selected first?
Not quite. If you have say a tech lab and a reactor, and you select both barracks and build marine, marine, marauder, one marine will come from reactor, one from tech lab. To avoid this, build the units which require tech labs first and then spam marines.
Yeah build your tech lab units first then marines. For me this is rarely an issue because it doesn't really matter since the build time is so short and often enough you need more marines than marauders once you have medivacs
just a heads up. usually if you have 2 reactors, then u need a second base. try always keeping a 2:1 ratio for tech labs to reactors unless a build is supossed to be that way
