Let me 4 gas and have 3 drones on gas and 1 mining when gas is done so I can have 1000 gas when my pool is done. That way I can get faster ultras.

This works on many levels

1) It prevents gas rushes as you're taking your gas far before he can even has the chance to scout you, even if you're playing a P that likes to scout with one of his first four probes. And since they're sacrificing so much economy just to gas rush, taking your gas slows them down so much. Take that, gas rusher

2) As many have said, it allows you to research burrow, so against 2 gaters, you can burrow your drones so you don't lose any. You lose one drone building the extractor, so as long as burrow saves you more than 1 drone, it's already worth it. So all you zergs that lose atleast 1 drone in a given game, don't laugh at this tactic, it would make your economy greater by saving drones

This build encourages unorthodox play that can still be effective, like a queen/scourge army. It's like sair/reaver, but with suicidal units that aren't reavers.

lol, 9 extractor 8pool is perfect timing for lair. as soon as pool finishes you will have about 100 gas and 150 minerals. This is the fastest most efficient tech afaik.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Umm actually this could work....
I mean while you´re making the Extractor you can scout with all the rest of the drones, then come back and mine the gas empty. At that point you have huge loads of gas and you can do as gas heavy build as you can imagine. You also have valuable scouting info!

You sir are a genious and I´m certain this will become a standard ZvP opening.

Best ZvP BO:
4 - Extractor
3 - Creep colony
2 - Evo chamber
1 - Pool

Works 99%.

Not. seriously, why people make such stupid threads >.<

not only do u have to waste a drone to make the extractor, but you have to get at least 1 more to mine from it. lol

You know, when I first read this thread I thought he meant he was putting 4 drones on gas instead of 3. I was sadly disappointed.

I read the this thread and thought it would be about how 4 bases with gas was good against terran - which I would have said DUHHHHHH LOL NOOB, and left. Instead, I now have a 100% winning rate on iccup with the 4 gas drone burrow manner hatchery sunken rush.

I just lost vs Comp(T) using 4 gas. Once my spire was up I had 1,2k gas but couldn't spend it as I only had 1 Hatch and not enough minerals. Can you give a more specific BO so I can figure out what I did wrong? Thank you.
