But instead of using the base camera to collect every single queen, consider this alternative to collect all of your recently built queens!



The idea that this might work this came to me in a dream, and I nearly soiled myself when I tried this out and my dreams became a reality. Ok ok I'll admit... I actually soiled myself...

Let mass Queen strategies be unlocked for noobs of all APM levels, and may the meta never heal

It's never useful unless its super late game, or it's a custom game

Queens are extremly good against voids, in my opinion better than hydralisks.

If you are low on gas you can build them to defend voidray allins or even in the lategame against mass voids, if enemy got no HTs. Also they are quite fine in an ultralisk composition.

or, like, you're trying to defend against a protoss 2 base all in and you need units that don't cost larva... or, like, you're trying to defend against a protoss 2 base all in and you need units that don't cost larva... I am a dirty Protoss bullshit abuser

definitely useful in zvp Creator of sc2unmasked.com

Grobyc Profile Blog Joined June 2008 Canada 18409 Posts #8 Seems useful as mentioned for some of the instances above, though it's more of an idea to use an existing feature from Blizzard and not really a new technique.



Kind of makes you want to just play Monobattles and pick Queen merely for this though lol If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.

ejozl Profile Joined October 2010 Denmark 2906 Posts #11 Hmm, but if you spawn 3 queens, then a ling, then 2 queens, then a drone, wouldn't you have to press 5 buttons, not to mention some might get lost, due to too many actions.

Isn't select all army command better?

But it's certainly a feature that is not being used by anyone I think. SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

Does select all army select queens as well? Didn't know that, that is weird.



And you would just have to press one additional button. Hold ctrl, click first 3 queen icon then 2 queen icon, then rally/add to control group! Does select all army select queens as well?

Select army does NOT select queens. In HOTS beta it did, but people hated it so they are excluded Select army does NOT select queens. In HOTS beta it did, but people hated it so they are excluded

Btw, how long does the notification stay there? How fast do I have to be? Ah, this is cool! I've always been tempted by the idea of building extra queens to beef up my army without spending gas, but the lack of rally point is definitely a big minus for me. I'll try it out next time the occasion presents itself.Btw, how long does the notification stay there? How fast do I have to be?

Dasian Profile Joined January 2011 United States 40 Posts #18 Only a couple of seconds if that. You definitely have to be ready for it, especially if a lot of other stuff is building.

Hmm, may be tricky at my silver level reaction speed and awareness, but every time I catch it I'll save me some time I guess. Hmm, may be tricky at my silver level reaction speed and awareness, but every time I catch it I'll save me some time I guess.
