Im having difficulties about that and I often lose due to the wrong timing to get the second expansion when ever i expand early the terran pushes and i lose but when ever i expand late the terran takes his expansion as well and there is nothing i can do expect to expand again but if i double expand terran pushes and toss loses... | ||

When you have taken expos outside your natural in ZvT do you ever make units from the expos or stick to strictly drones? | ||

Lurker/hydra/ling expand again. | ||

Well, that sounds more like a scouting problem. I'd try scouting a bit faster or something. If I don't get an overlord to scout them, I'll usually send a drone. Most of the time I've scouted what they're doing before I have 10-12 lings. Although I'm pretty paranoid about my scouting. | ||

Drone scouting with overpool speed isn't a great idea. I'm interested in the answer to this question as well. It's the reason i stopped going overpool speed on ramped maps. I always felt like the 10ish lings with speed put me too far behind against 1gate tech and just ended up drone drilling half the time. | ||

I don't care if they're really "good" strategies, but they should be at least somewhat viable. Any ideas for things like this? For example: 1 hatch lurkers, burrowing lings at their expo, anything with queens. 1hatch lurk speedlings burrow lings @ his comsat^^ | ||

You can't build addons if there is an immovable object in the way, its the same with constructing buildings and landing terran buildings. Edit: apparently you cannot stop addons from building by using burrowed units, my mistake | ||

Yes you can, try it.... Edit:well you can't if there's like a building in the way, but a unit, even burrowed, will NOT stop the comsat from making | ||

God whats up with people??? I asked a question for a specific situation that occurs sometimes, im not asking what to do just vs 1gate. What you are saying would be like responding to someone asking how to defend 12hatch vs 8rax and you would answer 9pool. The only thing I wanted to know was Day`s thoughts on the specific subject because its a hard and interesting spot. | ||
