• Cloning - The ability to select a group of one type of spell caster, cast the desired spell on a target, deselect one caster, target the spell on a different target, and repeat until all casters have separate targets. It is an effective alternative to excessive hot-keying. This requires some distance between the casters and the targets to prevent redundant castings. Often done with lockdown. Another type is Peon-Cloning which is similar to standard spell caster cloning, but uses the four opening workers you are given at the start of a map. Use identical cloning techniques to separate workers onto different mineral patches, increasing opening economy by a substantial amount over a player who does not clone his peons.
