Starcraft 2

Another thing I need to work on is my macro. I was aware of the 3scv/mineral-vespene but I have a hard time producing when trying to micro my armies. I really need to get in the habit of 0-CC 9-rax 8-fact 7-star, and actually actively use these hotkeys to produce while in combat and a big one, set rally points to just behind the battle.

Seems like quite a hassle. I just put all my CC on 4. When u get a new expansion u can easily mule from all your orbitals by using 4E click 4E click etc. And all my production buildings go into hotkey 3. I had this one insane macro war vs a zerg where I just kept going 3DDDDDAAAAAAA tab SSSTTTEEEEE tab DD. Control groups 1 and 2 are for units. I also like how this allows you to press 3 and click on one of your units (a thor or tank, one that doesn't die easily) and your reinforcements will be rallied to where your army is. Can mean difference between a win and a loss sometimes in tight games.

ahhh that makes way more sense..

but you only use 2 control groups for units? I guess it simplifies things.. but what about like medivacs, or raid units like helions or banshees?
