how do you make multiple units cast death and decay/blizzard at the same time?

[jason767]

Cause when you select more than one unit the option to cast spells dissapears. I've seen players on youtube do it all the time and people have done it to me...

I tried doing a search and also looked through the warcraft 2 guide page but could not find anything...anyeone be able to tell me??

Thanks in advance!

It's not a very important trick to learn, because it's mostly only relevant in goofy ass maps, but the trick is to select a bunch of units and then hotkey bookmark them.  You know, ctrl-1 for example.  Then select one unit, press Death and Decay, but before clicking where you want to cast, press 1 and it reselects the whole group.  The "cast" is still pending so the next place you click, all the death knights will cast there.

It's useful for whirlwinding the bases of newbs like Paperboy~sol

Select all units you want to use

Type ctrl+1 .. or ctrl+2 .. or 3, 4, etc

Select one of the mages from the group

Type "B" for blizzard

Type alt+1 , or alt+2 or whatever

Right click where you want to cast blizzard

Done

Also.. if you're playing "goofy ass customs" where you're using the multicast a lot .. make sure you learn to gage gow long you actually need to use the spell for. Don't just cast the spell and let the mages drain all of their magic if they can kill the building with just a little bit of multi cast... so type "s" for stop once you thing they've used enough magic.. save magic for later

Next time you want to use them you just have to type alt+1 ... instead of repeating the whole process.  That group of mages  will be stored until they die or until you designate a different group of units with "ctrl+1"  .. you can use 0-9 tho.

Next time blid makes fun of what maps you play, just say "do you even war2 bro?"

There's about a 95% chance his answer will be no at any given time

There is also another trick to mutlicast. its much easier, faster and better if you get used to it, but only really useable on custom and maybe gimmick maps
here it is done in real time:

edit: i can see blid described it (more or less, he got some things wrong)

Silly right click is cancel you left click


War2 customs map is why the game was so popular. So please don't speak that nonsense blid

My bad. Haven't played in a few months.. already forgetting simple stuff

[Certified MENSA Genius Brain (smart)]

Hmm, sounds like I'm much more active than you.

Oh I'm just kidding. I'm on every single day smurfing .. trust me. I just don't tell anyone who I am.. but I'm there. Nobody can confirm it. . But I assure you I'm telling the truth.

/end pretending to be blid



.. unless something has changed, I'm sure you are just as active today as you were when I was admin.. log on for like 5 days every few months as a smurf.

.. but even if u are "active"  .. the custom players u rag on are probably 10x more active, which gives u little room to talk trash on their maps imo

That's not a good thing to say blid.

Don't you have a wife/husband? Children? Work?

I'll give you war2 for hobbies.
