For example, in Protoss vs Zerg I try to expand by 6:00, referring to the game timer lets me know if I have been delayed and by how much. Rather than their random colours, the enemy is shown as red and you as green. This setting is one of my personal favourites. Changing this setting changes the team colours from their defaults to green (yourself), red (enemies) and yellow (allies).įriend or foe colours make identifying enemy units via the mini-map and main screen much easier in 1v1 games. I am still undecided about it’s usefulness in team games, however, as it makes communicating with your allies a little difficult as all enemies are red.
Being able to quickly identify the enemy will make it much easier to spot drops or enemy troop movements in your peripheral vision. To enable/disable friend or foe colours press ‘Alt+F’ whilst in a game. Alternatively, you can click the bottom button besides the mini-map. Your friend or foe colours setting will carry over into future games so you do not have to enable it every game.
This setting is worth changing if you have a problem with accidentally hitting a button that minimises the game or interferes somehow. If you don’t have a problem with this don’t worry about this setting. To disable the operating system shortcuts: Allows you to easily see the current production or research status of any of your buildings, assisting with macro.Allows you to easily make out enemy spell-casters to focus fire, EMP or Feedback.You can see the condition of enemy units allowing you to focus fire them easily.Makes it easy to see the condition of your units so that you can make a decision to micro or retreat.It may look messy as a viewer but as a player the status bars provide a lot of vital information.Įnabling the display of unit status bars will show the health, shields, energy and production status of all units and buildings on the main game screen. Selecting ‘Always’ or ‘Selected’ from the drop down ‘Show Unit Status Bars’ menu.I highly recommend setting the display of unit status bars to ‘always’, however, if you find this too messy you can set it to ‘selected’. If, like me, you find yourself accidentally clicking the control group icons at the bottom of the main game screen or you just want to get the most amount of screen space possible this is a good setting to change. Select either ‘Hidden’ or ‘Unclickable’ from the ‘Control Groups’ drop-down box.To set the control groups to unclickable or hidden: There are two options available to you instead of the default visible and clickable setting: Visible but un-clickable or hidden. The build grid shows unbuildable terrain as yellow allowing for easier wall offs.Įnabling this setting will show a grid whenever you attempt to place a building. The grid shows unbuildable terrain and gives you an idea of how much space there is betweeen your buildings. The build grid makes walling off and base planning much easier. For example, as Protoss you need to leave a one square gap in your wall for units to pass through. How do you set up your game? Are there any useful settings that I haven’t mentioned here? If so let me know in the comments below! Enabling this setting will help you set up your base just a little better so give it a try.
