If you're just pumping mutas you should have plenty of minerals for like 30 lings You could also tech to ultra/ling because goliaths are very weak vs ultras. | ||

I think ling 3/3 + adrenal + eventually ultras would pwnage those gols, but hidras 3/3 arent bad too | ||

if he moves out counter his main. you should be able to take more expos than him. dont fight his army without sunk support. | ||

And try to tech to defilers soon, and get plague (don't bother with swarm, unless you decided to get more lings/hydras/lurkers/ultras). | ||

As stated by just about everyone, go muta/ling. Don't really bother with lurkers because gols can really more or less just lol all over them. | ||

Swarm/plauge is very awsome, but remember that a good mech user will add m&mf if he scans defilers or get tank heavy. They should also have at least 3 science vessels making mutas worse becouse of irraditate. Zerglings are rather bad after a certain point, when he's to big basically, rely more on sunkens and expos to waste his time walking around the map and making him open for mutalisk harass/backdoor. Be very drone heavy. Remember to upgrade your mutas, having 1-1 vs 0-0 is a huge diffrence, don't be the guy with 0-0. | ||

YellOw vs BoxeR is a better example of muta vs goli. It's from Superfight 1; YellOw doesn't actually engage in huge battles, he just goes around and kills random scvs, turrets, depots, outlier goliaths, all the while expanding to every gas multi. BoxeR wanders around trying to defend everywhere, but because golis are so slow and ungainly, he can't. Eventually YellOw just gets critical mutalisk mass, adds in a few queens, and goes all in to infest -_-; incidentally, muta/queen is quite good. It's one less mutalisk per queen, but ensnare is good, and infest means you only have to do half as much damage to a cc to kill it. | ||

If the terran fast expoed into goliath and you didn't kill him you better scramble to out-expo him or you are going to get hit hard. And as a side note, goliaths with the range upgrade can kill mutalisks if there are like 5-10 more gols than mutas. Watch out for bat/medic/goliath, that shit will kick your ass. watch out for bc/carrier combo too. one time that owned me so hard. | ||

Muta > Goliath. and if you get large numbers, then you can leave the base without risking it to be obliterated. mobility > goliaths | ||

Muta ling can work but meh. Either mutas + all expands. Or Muta + hydralisk. It is very efficient and you can kill a terran with almost equal minerals with it. (Muta hydra) I say almost because there is a point once terran gets a certain number of tanks that you will go more heavily into mutas and you will need a lot more minerals. They won't have gas for anything else on most maps, as most mech users only have their natural. So too many tanks = muta death. Too few tanks = muta + hydra death. | ||

I like to fast expand with 2 armories and pump goliaths, mixing in tanks if they heavy hydra/lurker. I do not lose to mutalisks, or their mobility. | ||

one more question, on maps where the mineral only can be easily taken (LT, Longinus, etc) , i have big troubles outexpo the terran as a 3 base terran can max 200/200 really quick, and the maps make harrasing difficult as he doesn't really need mobility just sitting at home. do i just leave him alone and focus on macro or is there some harrassing techniques against a defensive guy? the big puch of the first 40 golies usually take me out..>.< | ||

Now, its easier to macro from 2 bases than those 5 bases u getting =P. Get the mayor ammount of geysers. Try harassing all the time, he wont have the mobility of the marines. Do it till u get muta/ling or hydras upgrades. You can also lurk tech while muta/ling just for some drops, not something like getting 10 lurkers and going to the front. MECH UNITS are very strong, so you must realize that if u let him do whatever he wants, he will end up beating you. Mech units can also mean some valkyries (rarely used but very effective) so you better scout his ass all the time. Ensare and Plague will rule his ass. Yes, you have to break your ass to beat the mecha. But you have to break your ass to beat marines and medics so ... its just like another MU you have to add =P | ||
