For this reason, we are prohibiting intentional canceling of eggs for the sole purpose of getting larva. For example: Having 6 larva ready right when your spawning pool finishes with no queen.
While it is impossible to know if every egg cancel was intentional or not, any Zerg players out there should please refrain from using it solely to gain extra larva, ESPECIALLY in the early game.

I think that a majority of Zerg players make the following mistakes with their mutas:
1) They directly engage multiple thors 2) They are afraid of killing missile turrets (more on this below) 3) When the opponent's army attacks, they run back and fight it
The conclusion I came to from testing was that Mutas are the answer to terran Mech. If the Terran player attacks, just have a base race. You will both end up losing your base, but the mutas can fly around the map preventing terran from expoing while zerg can continue to expo and stay alive while thors are too slow to prevent it.
Zerg players throw a panic fit when the Terran places missile turrets and then attacks. Once you get 6+ mutas, you can drop missile turrets without a scratch. Just drop the turrets. Zerg players are WAY too scared of missile turrets.
You can win a fight vs mutas with thors but if the fight doesn't occur that advantage is completely negated. what game are you playing it sounds like fun + Show Spoiler +On June 04 2010 14:40 IdrA wrote:Show nested quote +On June 04 2010 14:36 lord_0siris wrote:On June 04 2010 13:59 IdrA wrote: you people act like its hard to test something like this thoroughly.. tanks obliterate everything except roaches, kind of, on the ground and sensor towers make any kind of drop, nydus, harass-based play worthless. doesnt give you many options, you figure out that overwhelming them with roaches is impractical, ultras still suck, mutas can run around being gay but ultimately you're gonna have to deal with an army that... you cant deal with, and pdd + vikings > heavy air.
