A few marines/vultures behind the mineral line can still do a lot of damage. Personally I would move the sunken down more, but still enough to cover the extractor from melee units. I've seen a few ZvZ games where one player screwed the other over because he could zergling snipe the extractor before mutas come out, just because the sunken was a tile too low. You can easily move your drones away from the bottom. You need to put the sunken there so your drones can slide along the bottom/right sides of the sunken to glitch the zerglings when they are attacking the sunk. Although the spawning pool should be moved down 1 space, the space left open under the spawning pool is too big in that setup. Also, you can use the same hatch-den-hatch setup in desti's nat in ZvP as you can in ZvT. As long as you place the sunkens on the ramp-side of the wall. Can we get some wall setups for HBR and Medusa? | ||

I still use Shark's old setup of Den-Hatch-Hatch. It seems like the units would have a tough time getting out through that base unless the units can pass to the left of the leftmost hatchery. | ||

HBR 3rd+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d38/dandicedan/HBR-3rd.jpg) Zealots can barely fit between the 2 hatcheries, although they are really are pain to micro through there. Most P's will just run their zealots away, but if they try to attack through the gap between the left-hatch/gas it's pretty easy to micro your drones to survive. HBR Nat+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d38/dandicedan/HBR-Nat.jpg) With the evo chamber this is 100% zealot tight. You can add the evo chamber at the last second and either cancel it after P leaves, or just destroy it later. 75 minerals is completely worth the added defense. If you don't want to add the evo, you can move the hydra den over 1 space to the left, and that will close the gap a bit more. Medusa 5 o'clock+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d38/dandicedan/Medusa5.jpg) The evo can be added last second to make the wall zealot proof for the most part. 1 zealot can attack the top sunken colony, but that's not going to matter. I use this one a ton since you can still fit 2 more hatcheries in the nat using this set-up. Colo2 anti-vult runby wall that you will probably never use+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d38/dandicedan/ColoVult.jpg) | ||

He could only take 1 or 2 hits from the sunken and completely bypass it. Thanks for the zvp positioning on desti. I always have trouble with that You have lings there blocking. | ||
