Can someone teach me how to micro

[snowbong]

Can someone please teach me how to micro wiht undead, i don't really how to micro at all. I want to know how to micro.

Simple. When you attack with a squad of say, 10 Ghouls, set them to group number 4. If you do not know how to do this, simply select all the units you want to be in a group, press and hold CTRL, then press the number you want them to be as. Now, when you go into battle, keep alternating between your Hero Group, and you Ghoul Group, and whenever you see a Ghoul in the yellow and loosing health fast, get him outta there. And as soon as he's safe, send him back in. Keep doing this, and as oyu practice, the more you can micro with mass quantities of units, but then that'd be useless, and it'd be called macro, lol!

There ya go, a simple quick guid on Micro.

You should look on Custom games for the map MICRO WARS.

TRUST me it will really teach you how to micro as it displayed just about every scenario and warcraft. It is a really fun map and has helped my micro skills a lot.

Play Counter-Strike, that really damn good helps.

Also, Tab switches between units in the current selscted group. F1/2/3 instantly gives you the needed hero.

 

[snowbong]

ummm... i play counter-strike but that don't really help me, it might but i dont know how does it help you?

 

[x42bn6]

Finger movement. 'cos you use the 1,2 and 3 keys a lot. There's quite a bit of movement esp. with the Tab key, an essential key for WC as well. Trust me, you'll end up using the keyboard more than the mouse eventually. The mouse will merely to be scrolling and selecting. Not spells or anything.

 

[snowbong]

oh ok thanksi useally use the hotkeys for spells but i gota go over em to see what they are then i use them.

 

[prodigy]

if you wanna be good, you gotta know each and every hot-key for the race you use.
you save much time like this, and get more for combat and creeping
true, TAB really is usefull : it switches ur unit type in a 'ctrl+#" group of unit
the BUILDING HOTKEYS !!!!
real important, the less time you pass in ur base trying to get ur buildings and units going, the best it is

peace

For me, it becomes first nature often to get my base started up using 90% the keyboard. My micro is quite good as well.

 

[snowbong]

i do know the starting hotkeys i use for each race like for the Alter and farm.I do remember some of the hotkeys for most of the buildings but im still learning.. thnx

Shift

U can also add Units into groups by holding shift and pressing the group number...

 

[CptJackSparrow]

Lol. I love how aragon always uses links to blizzard sites to convey his messege. It works and all but still. No one likes clicking on those links. I wouldn't. Whatever peels your bannana.

Hey, there ain't anything wrong with that y'know.

 

[bloah]

Good link's really explain. Anyway Hotkeys are essential to winning since they give the upper hand in building faster and over combat movemt and stuff. Hotkeys [if you don't know them] are in the manual and are one letter highlighted in yellow when you tried to build or use the thing. Ex. Building a Orc burrow with a peon, press B then O. Makes things go quicker and is a skill you should have asap. Came easy for me since I played SC a lot and other RTS which have the same idea. Also I play CS and that helped to as said above.

Hotkeys can speed up your game tremendously. unfortunately i don't use them as much as i like, mainly for spells, attackking, running, harassing, building. alot of my unit production is done manualy which isn't that good.

But I abuse the attack, move, stop, hold ground, hide, burrow, cannibalize etc.
