In my experience a fast carapace upgrade makes cracklings considerably stronger in the mid-late game. Granted, zerg uses hydra a lot in the midgame, but carapace helps hydras as well. To elaborate on what Bakuryu said (and because I only learned this a few months ago myself), 1 Carapace for Hydralisks doesn't change the amount of attacks it requires Zealots/Dragoons to kill a Hydralisk as much as it does for a Zergling. For a Zergling, being behind by +1 or more Carapace vs. Zealot Attack is the difference between 2 and 3 Zealot hits, whereas for a Hydralisk the % difference would be considerably less. | ||

I know, and that's exactly why I prefew carapace first. Cracklings with carapace murder protoss like nothing else. Obviously missile attack first is better if you plan to stay on lair tech for a very long time, but what if you're going for turtle into fast hive? | ||

You can find builds on Liquipedia. Depending on the map, you might not even be at a disadvantage (Outsider, for example). On 4 player maps, I always double scout if my first Probe doesn't find the enemy on the first try, even if it's just PvZ and not PvR. Remember, In Brood War practically nothing is "autoloss" and "unwinnable." Flash held 5 Pool with 14CC, Jaedong with 12 Hatch, etc. It's a self-defeating attitude ^^ | ||

I would do it myself, but I'm too bad to know what to look for other than "are my hatcheries always producing a unit?" "am I supply capped at any point in the game" "is there any point in the game where I let my money go high..." On August 24 2017 17:26 Jealous wrote: Generally, if you want others to look at your replay, this is what you do: 1. You can start your own thread, but you don't have to. 2. You post the replay 3. You analyze the replay yourself first. You point out key areas you think that you messed up, or key moments, or both. Then you could say "how can I do x better" or "why did y not work," etc. Historically, this has been the MO. You need to invest some of your own effort into figuring out what to do before you expect others to do the same. If you just post a replay and give no substance or focus of your own, it is likely that there will be simply too much to be said about what needs to be fixed. By providing the substance, the responding analyst knows what they don't have to write themselves. By providing focus, you are more likely to get the direct information you need to shore up your weakness. | ||

So far for me a conclusion is, a nat with gas is probably not obligatory to make a good map! | ||

I can't find any replays or VODs demonstrating 2 or 3 hatch lurkers against Protoss, could someone please link me a reply and or a VOD? On the Liquidpeida page for both of the 2 hatch lurker builds don't specify how many Lurkers the initial push should have. Could someone clarify how many lurkers the initial push should have? Thank you! | ||

If you've reduced his marine count a lot, sometimes you can just kill the 1-2 turrets over his rax, flood a bit of lings in, games over. What should i do lets say ZvT and i go 3 hatch muta and i am microing with mutas, what shouls i do with multitasking, what is prioirity when i am attacking with mutas, what to do in base ? You should be droning besides a 4-6 hydras that you want to make into lurker, while teching hive. Again, I dont want to be too general: If he has a huge marine presence out on the map and your low on lings for whatever reason, you might want to prioritize that temporarily in order to control where he moves a bit [and potentially kill reinforcements]. Just keep this basic idea in mind: 3 hatch muta THREATENS damage, which keeps the terran back long enough for you to lurker, drone, and get everything positioned to protect your third while teching. | ||
