ya, just be careful about drops and/or bio tank timings, you need to hit your spire (scourge for anti drop D) and defiler timings well

you'll learn those through practice tho

It's a normal feeling to have pretty much zero map control when doing this strat, right? Probably try to regain it only when defilers pop out? I just got outexpanded by a terran and starved on 4 base. But I still won because I got a dark swarm up in his natural LOL

I'm sure there's some lurker attacks I could do, but probably shouldn't focus on that if I want to be the most consistent.

ya u dont need to worry about map control, this is a pure defensive/macro style, you don't really need to ever attack with your lurks tbh (but obviously you can in certain scenarios, if T throws too many units trying to bust you for example)

Your defiler is mainly to defend vs bio tank pushes, if you skip it you can easily die to a timing. Your map control timing is after you saturate your bases nicely (about 1.5 drones per patch), have like 3-4 hatches total in your main and ~3 hatches at your corner expo.

Once you have your infrastructure setup move down to take your 4th and start pumping ultra ling (the faster you get an evo for carapace the stronger your timings become). A move terran with ling/ultra/defiler after that, ideally you just wanna get plagues off on vessels and pick them off later with 2-3 mutas. If you execute the b.o cleanly you'll just end up rolling T most of the time tho.

Anyone have advice for muta micro when enemy buildings are in the way? I find myself clicking the enemy building when in reality I am simply trying to orient the mutas to fire when I hold position.

You can use Patrol, or you can aim farther away but still in line of the target(s) you wanna hit with Hold.

You can also shoot the buildings to dmg via bounce but from safe range of getting hit.

I feel like all my mutas aren't hitting when I use patrol in that scenario. Like only 70% of them fire.

Only way to confirm that is to make a UMS with targets who have just as much HP as you have stacked Mutas (dmg). That way you can also find out how Patrol works.

I prefer Patrol. That way you can fly sideways and still shoot without accidently get deep into range of Marines.

Im not a Z expert though.

what is the proper response to lategame pvz where the Z just turtles and has a million reavers at each base and just chills?

i tried doomdropping but every now and then I play a P who keeps a dark archon and high templar in his main. maelstrom + storm on the ovies, etc...

I think hydras are garbage in these games but I am not sure what would work.

You mean P just turtles ?

Maybe guardians with some devourers and mutas to defend against sairs/scouts. And try to split them apart to avoid storms. Tho guardians are clumsy and, although they have a longer range than cannons, they tend to enter they range

Queens are key to that scenario. Parasite as much as you can, broodling all templars, plague all, then mass unit. If reaver cannon da, guardian is your best bet.

It's a lost fight for zerg unless you have economical dominance. Any map split, even +1 base for zerg favours defensive protoss who will overtime accumulate enough gas / energy to mass templar / mass da / mass archon to victory.

In this scenario you need to analyze how P is winning their fight in each expansion. If Reavers make short work of your force its because its ranged and works through swarm.

What can work is having lings in overlords meanwhile attacking the front of an expansion, move overlords above reavers and drop em around to keep Reavers shooting as Melee, this will give you time to get into the mix with mass lings or hydras to destroy em.

Preferrably is ofc swarm+plague on everything meanwhile doing drops+entrance attack.

Quite a micro task but thats why people play Z. The micro is insane but its fun

Ultimate late game army is simply 3-3 lings/ultras/lurkers, swarm+plague+drops, while hydras is more focused vs air or places where you dont swarm, you could swarm your own location of army ofc but that can just as well work against you if you have no melee forces.

And as koget says if its even you need to work extra hard to make it uneven again.

I remember back in the day there was a reaver micro map, where you had a reaver and a shuttle and had different levels where you had to clear number of enemies. It was multiplayer one but it is ok practice SP too... I almost thought I was delusional misremembering this map but recently saw Jumperer play a version of it on stream.

Does anyone else remember the map and even better has a link to it?

How do you shift-queue an scv to mine resources after it is done building a building?

You just press shift right click mineral after telling it to build something. But you have to give the command before it starts building.

I couldn't break him, he put the templars in shuttles, when I would attack he would unload, storm, reload. Maybe an endless stream of zergling would work
