I haven't played the game yet

I however do agree about the latency in unit movement animations needs to be completely removed... This was a massive problem in WC3 (for me) and it's absolutely integral to the Starcraft feel.

About tanks I think its a very good change to not make tanks "needed". As far as im concerned tanks are the worst unit in starcraft because of how they drastically change game play for the worse and im happy to see this is not the same for starcraft 2.

What abilties does a queen start with/can upgrade?

Almost seems like 12h>11p>13queen is the one and only build since its the best eco-build and also strong vs harass? O_o

I totally agree with zatic about TvZ gameplay. Zerg needs lurcks on t2 or scourge back to counter mass rine drops. (maybe I just write this, because I lost to zatic using this build^^)

overpool ->queen->hatch is better. queen is build fast, cheaper and gives you the same amount of drones as the hatch.
Besides the larvae injection the queen can lay something that expands the creep.The upgraded queen can cast a "Bladeswarm"which is about as big as a dark swarm, controlable and deals damage.

Depends on what you want to do. 12 hatch is not really needed since you can't saturate the natural as fast anyway and you just don't need the hatch for the larvae. So pool first will give you faster tech and you can still get the larvae from the queen.

But as I mentioned you would have to try out all pool / hatch / queen combinations to get the optimal drone output.

I thought that too friday and saturday, but yesterday evening ive noticed that u can call down mules directly on a mineral patch and they start collecting then on their own, u dont have to give them a extra order and thats good .D

Oh ok that makes sense. I tried various shift-mine combinations but just dropping them on minerals didn't cross my mind haha.
