One problem with zerg right now is they always take a 50 mineral loss because the builder is used up when the building is constructed, and you don't get that mineral loss back when the building is destroyed. Any chance you can make the game refund you the 50 minerals when you build a building, or add 50 minerals to the refund for every zerg building?

The code specifically has a line that says +50 minerals if itès a zerg building.

And herein lies the problem.. the game has droped past the 3rd page listings and now its play by yourself or dont play at all it seems. And playing by yourself is too easy.

Zillion Zerglings was merely something that helped me learn the editor. For now, I work with Rogue, please join me.

error- every time i get to the overlord level, this really annoying error comes up. even though all the zerglings are dead, the ovie just stay on the map, and nothing happens.

I just managed to score 9000 kills as protoss. Basically just made a choke with gateways and threw down a ton of cannons inside (had 240 before I died). I also had sentries forcefielding the entrance and high templar for splash damage. I'm curious, is there anything beyond violet? After a while it just kept increasing the wave sizes rather than upgrading the lings.

Hey guys

1st post here, just wondering if this game actually has an end to it? I've only started playing it this season 5 times, and after reaching black level, we were starting to wonder if this game had an end. Pop up google, and apparently not many people have gone through violet yet. So I wait it out, and after 3hours 12min, at white level 5, the game crashes. + Show Spoiler +

DID I WIN?

Against all expectation that the permabanned maker of a zillion zerglings will never see this post and I bump the thread in vain, I would like to report a bug. Hopefully Vanished or anyone that takes over development of this UMS will fix this bug on b.net.

The Bug: If you let your buildings get destroyed in a drop wave, but manage to kill all the lings, the game neither gives you the next wave nor tells you that you lost. I'm guessing the trigger requires all units to be killed of the player and also of the computer side. So if e.g. hellions persist on the player's side, and overlord persist on the computer side, the wave will continue forever.

Here's the replay of this happening (skip to the end): http://drop.sc/296759

For those curious as to why Vanished was banned, I found these PMs he send to a mod after being temp-banned. It's a great read...

Exact same problem happened to me... Except that I didn't lose all of my buildings nor units.

Here's the replay:

Basically, I finished the wave perfectly fine, but an overlord persisted on the side of the map, seemingly attempting to move out of it, but unable to. I tried killing it with a marine, but it didn't seem to do anything.

You have to kill one of your units to continue to next round. You can kill a larva or make an scv or whatever and kill that.

I would like to go on record as having gotten the farthest ever in this map. White round 8. (this picture is actually from white round 7, we got past it because some broodlings lived) died next round.

I just scored 18348 playing as solo zerg. There's a bug where if a spine crawler dies it returns more minerals than it costs to make (including the drone) and you can tell spines to kill eachother, so you have infinite minerals. Each break I stacked spines higher and higher and threw in a few spores for the drop rounds, strategy works very nicely while you are waiting to get enough gas to get a full army of brood lords. Once you get to higher rounds of white zerglings (not sure if there are any ling types after white) all of your buildings that have any sort of agro will die super fast, but I found I could last indefinitely with a max army of brood lords hovering over a small squad of un-burrowed spore crawlers. Spore crawlers get almost no agro, and the sheer number of broodlings is enough to keep the white lings busy throughout the round. If anyone successfully beats the game or finds a color above white lings, I wanna know.

I remembered loving this game back in the day and decided to try it again and got further than I ever had before -- I got over 31k kills as solo zerg with 50 broodlords and got up to White 11 before my game crashed. White 9 was a huge drop wave and White 10 was over 8k lings alone.
