You have to do what suits your strategy and your race. There are really too many different play styles to list though. So if you had immortals and zealots hot keyed to 2, you can attack with them first. Stalkers move faster so naturally they always end up in the front attacking, taking damage which is not their ideal location, and they're also blocking your melee zealots.

Its a good idea if you are attacking in two places at once to have both groups hot keyed differently.Īnother example of having different units assigned to one group and to their individual group is when you have a group of stalkers, immortals, zealots together. I can tab between selecting the factory or the starport. So for instance if I were playing as terran and had my factory and starport set to group 5. To use the different abilities on the different units in group 1 I just tab through them. I usually set my army to control group 1 and when new units arrive you can ctrl-click the new units then shift-1 will add them to group 1 even if you don't have group 1 selected.

Just update your groups before you move away from your base, or whenever you give them new orders, but AFTER the order. (I find Shift-Box to be the most useful for adding the new guys to the group.) All the guys in a group won't arrive at the same time anyway, and having MOST of the group start moving toward where they are needed is better than none. I sometimes group by move speed as well, because sometimes you just need any troops here right now!įinally, remember that its ok to miss a couple guys because new guys were built, just go pick them up immediately after. You will always want to group by units that you will be giving the same orders to, so you don't have to alter the group any after you select it.

And these work together: "Remove all units of that type from my group" is Shift-Ctrl-Portrait Click. Shift-Click and Ctrl-Click work on portraits too.

It may look a little long in the tooth, but the gameplay is as solid - and addictive - as ever.First thing to do is remember how to change what you have selected quickly, so that you don't spend any extra time trying to get a box around just the right guys to set to your group. I remember spending a lot of hours playing this back in the late '90s. (Don't be confused by the installer, which mentions only the latter during setup.)

What's more, this version includes not only the core game, but also the Brood War expansion pack.

#HOW TO USE STARCRAFT GAME KEY TWICE PATCH#
Interestingly, this is a newly patched version of StarCraft (1.18), the first patch the game has seen in over eight years. This is not, to my knowledge, a time-limited offer, so you should be able to get it at some point, even if you have difficulty initially.)

(Keep in mind that freebies tend to melt the Interwebs, so don't be surprised if you encounter a download delay or other issue. To get the original, at no charge and with no strings, use these download links (these begin the download immediately): That version will feature 4K graphics support and improved online matchmaking for multiplayer sessions. Why the giveaway? Blizzard is no doubt hoping to create some buzz around StarCraft: Remastered, an updated version of the game due later this year. Never played the game? Good news: It's now available for free. Hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago. The RTS classic is now available for free!Īlong with Command & Conquer, Blizzard's StarCraft ushered in the real-time strategy genre as we know it.
