Goliaths won't work that well against muta. Infantry works better.

By the way, vulture would be especially effective on maps like nostalgia that has no gas natural. Most of the games, Z goes lurkling on that map. Due to lack of gas, Z can't usually afford to researh drop/overlord speed/hydra upgrades. damn vultures are the shit

I'd love to see some reps. Like how many vulture you make and when to switch to infantry.

I think hydralurker will be a counter to this. IMO it works mostly because of the suprise factor. Once this strat is more common, the counter to this won't be hard. Don't underestimate the zerg's tech-switching ability, especially u didn't pressure the zerg's expo much if u tech to fac.
do not agrue with idiots, they will pull you down to their level and beat you with their experiences

Seeing as this is your 4th post, you probably will want to read the forum rules. Please DONT bump year old threads, make a new one so your question will be answered.

Btw, there are like two or three threads on how to beat terran metal with zerg that are currently bouncing around in the strategy forum. Use the search function or scroll through topic titles.

To answer your question, go mass muta + lings to beat metal.

Its not that great when the zerg 3 hatches, and even less when he goes muta, but when he is going 2 hatchery --which will indicate most of the time lurkerling, and not the same economy as 3 hatch that allows the zerg to switch between speedlings, hydras and lair tech fairly easily,-- or when the map has a mineral only natural, its a pain in the ass to play against.


ehhh, this thread is ooooold

Assem vs Eliza

Good use of Vultures at start, ended up with a powerful use of goliaths. Made possible with the large gap between the player's starting positions and convenient unit placments.

Edit: oH SHIT WTF thread so old, wasted my time on searching for this..fuck.

i agree w/ grot
this strat would work better on non-gas naturals such as nostalgia

this would also help prevent a possible contain w/ lurkers for mines
against a good zerg however harrassment will be very difficult

drops are probably out of question because he will place atleat 1 sunk on his main cuz u can get quick drop after

all in all this isn't the best or most effective strat and you really have to know what you're doing

but i have seen lotta pros go this build and work it effectively

Actually I think 3cm drop is the answer vs this thingie... When you get lurkers burrowed, it really is impossible for vultures to kill them, cuz one hit kills all the mines T_T

Maybe 2 fact vult --> Mass Valkarie if he goes mutalisks? ^^ Valks r sexy
Then take islands -> Mass BC w00t
I happy, thus I run.

Hold up.

He can't make new posts about old topics because it's already been answered, but he can't make new posts on those old topics either. So... basically, once we've looked at a topic, no more analysis is allowed?

And on topic, mass mutaling isn't a hard counter because as the game goes on, mutaling loses its effectiveness against masses of goliaths. The terran will stop tank production when he sees that you don't have any hydras, and you'll be stuck fighting upped range gols with mutas and lings, which isn't that great.

Muta is good to keep the terran in their base, but you shouldn't make too many. Make about 8 and drop two evo chambers, begin hydra upgrades, and make a den. Upgrade range and speed, and pump masses of hydras. If you time this correctly, your mutas and residual lings will still overpower their tanks/vultures/gols or at least stop them long enough to amass enough hydras (don't lose your mutas, though, you need them for harassment and guardians, ultraling doesn't fly vs metal). Hive tech when you start your second armor and attack upgrade, and as soon as that's done, greater spire for guardians. From there, just steamroll with hydra/guard.

The great thing about mutas is that you can keep the terran contained while you expand, but unless you switch to something more powerful, eventually they're just going to break out with oov amounts of metal.

You forgot two major things: Dark swarm and tanks. 8 muta won't do anything to harass vs metal t, all he needs is a few turrets. And if the terran knows how to use scan he's gonna find out about hydra. So;you can't harass+ little muta/ling = him taking his nat and producing tanks to counter hydra. Mass hydra get owned hard by a few siege tanks, and he's gonna be producing more units with the same number of expands.

Whilst if you mass muta/ling with your main and nat vs his main then you are getting twice as much gas so you can safely assume 1 muta and 2 lings per gollie he has (muta = 100 minerals and 2 lings =50 with double gas that evens out on a gollie) And if you can keep him from taking nat awhile whilst you expand twice and tech to hive and double evo chambers then its not going to be hard to win. Ultra/ling get owned by gollie/tank on their own, but once you get swarm, swarm+upgraded cracks pathetically own gollies, and ultra can take any tank fire.
