Critical for 1v1 expansion on large water maps like Roanoake and Sera Glaciers:

1) Stop a transport and dodge an interceptor tail to give a few more seconds for YOUR interceptors to stop an engie transport from dying. This can be a game-ender in the context of high-level play.

Early raid unit preservation:

2) If a tank comes in and you have 2, one damaged from the battle, one from the support, stop the tank that has taken damage, pull the other tank forward for a "leap frog" maneuver to keep both units alive and stop the raid tank.

I have some others but can't think of the rest at this time.

Not if you consider apm requirement as a ressource.
You can spend your apm on your eco to have it perfect income and so have more unit. Or spend your apm on micro to get the best of each unit.
What we are talking about is micro that require 100 % of your attention, and it s better in 99 % of the situation to focus on micro army + macro eco, than doing this sort of micro.
It still can have a niche usefullness in 1 % of games. Making game more interesting.

That's your opinion, I wouldn't be playing this game if it wasn't for all the fancy micro things you can do without being forced to do them all the time. I don't know if you've ever read bartles taxonomy but these kind of things are main selling points for achievers (like to distuingish themselves) and explorers (like to discover new things)

Well micro does take a lot of attention, that's why it sucks if it fails. With some tutorials you can at least learn to do it right so that extra attention and apm you spend microing isn't wasted.

I'll update thread this weekend I guess to include all things done and not done.

Beat GC with loyalist+brick forse or something along those lines to show stun

I'm waithing for this one to be implemented (auroras) but i'll try to edit some of that code made by Myxir. Btw does anyone know any good replay with aurora kyte because i have not found a single one, and i'v tried, alot. By theory one should use the auroras as much as they can but in high level plays (1v1) i only see T3 rush and almost no use of T2 movable shields. And if there is any its not in army but beside it, protecting the grass. I didn't know the faf comunity was so nature oriented. Why no love for formation and shift+ctrl command?

One the other hand, this thing here looks like start of SupCom academy and i support it from the bottom of my heart. One could create all kinds of scenarios just for creating shitty situations ranging from solving energy or mass problems to doing the smart (or just not stupid) thing under huge pressure. It takes a lot of time for a player to experience most of pressure situations (and react to it) and I think thats the reason most of people play noobish maps, because they are not used to pressure, they like to turtle and go T3&T4. Also this thing could save people some time because there would be no more need for video tutorials, but then maybe someone is making a living from those videos so I don't know where to go with that one.
SupCom needs a lot of attention from player and that can only be practiced, but the question is can the process be speeded up using scenarios?

Personally the micro thing is somewhat useful and mostly overrated. It can be useful in special situations, saving poor engys and doing killer rading, but other that that i find it be a sucker of attention. But thats only me and who cares.

we definitely need a transport challenge series

drop engies who dodge bombers

ghetto micro (killing aa with dropped labs, then loading up and killing regular tanks again)

and ferries. something has to be done with ferries.
