1 -army (zealots, sentries, immortals, voidrays, carriers)
2 -more army (stalkers, colossi, mothership)/scouting probe/scouting stalker #1
3 -MOAR ARMY (HT, phoenix, DT's, warp prism, harass party)/scouting probe #2/FE natural probe/scouting stalker #2
4 - primary production warpgates/stargates
5 - all nexus
6 - secondary production robo/stargates/warpgates
7-10 - observers, tech building, warp prism, some key units on the map.

I still use double tap on "5" to recall main base (instead of F2 etc.), and click on tech buildings. Guess I'll need to fix that. Macro warping also takes more apm than it should. I recall main, mouse scroll to location i want to warp (usually it's natural ramp), then recall warpgates, and do the warp magic. I want to force myself into using screen controls, and do F2-F4 for bases. Idk how will it work out.

My apm (as calculated by sc2gears) is very low, averaging 90 in 1v1 games. When I played wc3, I had 140-150. Since sc2 is supposed to be more apm-intensive, I'm really questioning whether I'm doing things right.

We must be TWINS! I use the exact same setup!

1: zealot + sentries
2: stalkers
3: units
4: main chronoboost target
5: nexus
6: second chronoboost target
7: units
8: units
9-0: never use

F1-F3: bases
F4-F6: gateways
F7-F8: never use

Zerg

vs T
1- Lings/Banes/Roach to start, Mutas when spire available
2- Lings/Roach when mutas out
3- Banes/Infestor
4- Queen that does my creep spread
5- Main Hatchery
6- Natural Hatchery
7- 3rd Base Hatchery
8- 4th Base Hatchery
9- Burrowed banelings
0- (Rebound to tilde key `) - All hatchery

vs P
1- Lings, Roaches, Hydras
2- Infestors
3- Broodlords, Corruptors, Queens if needed for Stargate openings
4- Queen that does my creep spread
5- Main Hatchery
6- Natural Hatchery
7- 3rd Base Hatchery
8- 4th Base Hatchery
9- Harass zerglings, Overseers
0- (Rebound to tilde key `) - All hatchery

vs Z
1- Zerglings early on, Roach/Hydra army
2- Roaches early on, Infestors
3- Scouting overlords, Broodlords/Ultras
4- Queen that does my creep spread
5- Main Hatchery
6- Natural Hatchery
7- 3rd Base Hatchery
8- 4th Base Hatchery

F1 - Hatchery rally location

All macro hatches get assigned to the location they are built, ie 5 if its in the main, 6 if at nat etc
Queen just gets selected by double tapping hatchery and clicking Queen to inject.

My setup is actually very similar to Edge's , gotta love that BroodWar! Being able to control what hatcheries your units pop from is so handy during agression!

i should put armouries and engineering bays on 7-8 or something instead of going and clicking on them. its a waste of my already hillariously low APM.
