I learned that, the hard way xD. | ||

A lot of times in TvZ, when I get ultras while I have a huge lead, the T moves out and I lose the battle by just a tiny bit. Then 29 minutes later when my ultras finally hatch I have 27 ultras vs 5 tanks and I end up winning | ||

They suicide their armies to clear supply and then just produce 10+ Ultras. (Suddenly a bunch of banshees kill your stuff. Huh.) And it's not like you'd benefit from their numbers really, if the opponent is even decently positioned you'll rarely have more than 5 Ultras actually attacking, and the rest dancing around at the back trying to wiggle through. I usually only get about 3 to 5 Ultras at the same time, if at all. In ZvT that's mostly only after T has produced a ton of vikings, because I'd always go Broodlord first. (ZvP and ZvZ the Ultra seems to be really useless. And don't tell me that Ultras are good at killing Lings. Seriously. Don't even go there) Though I said this, raping your opponents face with 20 Ultras smashing through his stuff like it's nobody's business is one of the most satisfying feelings you will get as Zerg. It can nearly compare to storming a 200 army with HTs to see them die in a matter of seconds. I could word it as 'cool but useless'. | ||

To make ultras you need a ton of cash, to have a ton of cash you need a lot of bases and income. If you have those things as zerg, it was already gg. You need to screw up real bad to lose once you get your income/bases running as zerg. | ||

Used either small ultralisks groups and flanks or had my other thingies autofollowing the ultras and engaging just before they hit, sometimes dropped them out of ovis if enemy armys had no anti air. Unborrow takes 2 seconds which is a bit to much to survive it hehe. (stun buff or reduce effect would help there maybe *g*). Liking the ptr buff they are now way better if you control em right. Most people will hate to use them though since they are a micro unit. | ||

terrans don't go bio very much anymore, and that's what ultras really shine against. marauders power through ultras way too cost effectively for them to be worthwhile. really there is no good zerg tier3 that is worth it's cost against bio. lings, banelings, and infestors are far more effective. they're also good against protoss, but brood lords are better. until someone popularizes some new mech strategy, i don't think ultras will be seen very much. | ||
