Send a drone over to your desired main expo, take the flag, morph into a hatch, flag reappears at ramp.
I thought if you could figure out where your opponent spawns, you could be terribly annoying by taking your flag to their natural, but maybe not that annoying for Zerg players.
One last thought I had, as a Terran player, you can wall off the ramp that has the installation doodad. There's 4-5 squares of untraversable terrain that jut out from the side of the map to that ramp. A supply depot fits perfectly between those squares and the edge of the ramp and would create a solid wall off. that's actually kind of awesome kinda like Troy with the destructible refineries
Important to note that your opponent will get vision if you decide to do that expansion trick. But 3 lurkers would immediately stop any workers from trying to grab the flag. So... me and my friend were just saying drops would probably be the next tactic.

The idea with the fast expo could still work without taking the flag because the overlord could be fast enough to get vision of the main minerals (even if the timings don't work for 12 hatch, it certainly allows for very fast thirds).

Man I love that map makers are continuing to add interesting elements to the game after 20 years. Don't really understand the flag thing but looking forward to see it in action!

Aha, clever! I'll have to tell him about that. There's a caveat, and that's if you end up scouting your opponent with said overlord, but I guess that's ok too, since scouting might be a bitch on this map haha
