Just sayin' | ||

the 10 pool 17/18 hatch was about 350 minerals behind those at the same point. Edit: just did it a 2nd time with cleaner build times and here were my results http://www.carameldream.net/Starcraft/14hatch15pool.jpg http://www.carameldream.net/Starcraft/16pool16hatch.jpg http://www.carameldream.net/Starcraft/10pool18hatch.jpg the hatch first opening seemed to be a clear winner. More minerals and more larva. It'd be cool if other people could go test it themselves to compare results. | ||

There's 0 possibility of your hatch getting blocked, you can just make 6 lings if needed vs a nexus-first or something, and you will have same economy as a 16hatch. Yep, my new standard ladder build in every MU. God that's so dumb when would you get gas for ling bling ZvZ or would you just get a 10 roach warren??? A 10 pool is hard countered by a 14 pool and I or any other zerg could easily show you that. | ||

Stopped at 30 supply both times after my main was fully saturated. ... the hatch first opening seemed to be a clear winner. More minerals and more larva. It'd be cool if other people could go test it themselves to compare results. How did you measure the number of Larvae if you weren't making units? I usually do continuous Zergling/Overlord production when I do these tests, so that I can count my Larva by looking at supply. Previously in this thread, people (including myself) have done these tests with continuous Drone/Overlord production, and you can see there that builds with earlier pools produced more larvae. (P.S. a very late pool like 16 pool is not very representative of pool-first builds) | ||

I haven't yet found any late Pool build that actually makes combat units that couldn't be converted into an even better early Pool build. (but I haven't tried many) | ||

How effectively you deny scouting is also very important, combined with the fact that you can easily transition into any kind of early game aggression - your enemy will know this. I think this is the biggest gain of economic pool-first builds. I don't mind having 300 minerals less if my enemy is in total dark of what I'm doing and is scared of early Zerg attacks. This way you start with the game-controlling style Zerg is so good at right at the start, instead of giving your enemy a wide array of options to annoy you while you try to mine all the resources*. *)+ Show Spoiler + "Your throat emits a feral sound – O destiny, you know your place.

10ov, 10 pool, 14 ext, 15 queen, 17 ling, 18 hatch vs 14pool, 13 ext, 15 hatch, 15 queen, 17 ov 18 ling (A build I use often) They came out nearly dead even (as in max 10 second difference) to 36 supply. Except the first one was totally 10 pool, which I know I hate seeing as toss. And is super safe vs cheese. Definitely going to try some 10pool eco on ladder, now. | ||

A 10 pool is hard countered by a 14 pool and I or any other zerg could easily show you that. Heh? Vs 14pool I do 10pool and get gas around 16 for Roaches. I don't make lings right away... I get better economy than 14pool. Have you tested this or are you just spewing these "facts" out of your you-know-what?

I actually make 3 drones after pool is done and only then do I make one pair of lings and I'm ahead in econ and safe vs 14pool because I have one spawn larvae-cycle more(and 2->4lings + queen defends easily vs 6 lings).

BTW I just tested a 10pool variant against my standard 14pool/13extractor/15 hatch.

I do 12queen 14drone 15drone 16extractor at earliest(ofc you can get this right after queen at 14 supply if needed but it won't be as smooth) etc, a pair of lings at 16-18 supply as needed. You can get the ov at 17 supply and it'll be fine, and expansion hatch at 18 if I expand, if not Roach warren or something. | ||

Beautiful, just gave it a shot vs an AI while you were probably typing a reply. I have a feeling this might change zerg quite a bit if it catches on. 10pool feinting gives some amazing options! | ||

It's accidentally an extremely smooth build. xD | ||

Some openings have the property that production capacity exceeds income. For example, if you start teching and pumping Zerglings, or maybe two-base Roaches. In these cases, sacrificing minerals for larvae is counter-productive; late* pools or Hatch first builds are more appropriate for these situations. *: I am still skeptical that super-late pools are ever the right choice | ||

Pff don't worry, it wont until a pro uses it regularly and even then no one would give me credit. ;O | ||
