Emphasis mine. The sensor tower does not show cloaked units on the minimap. | ||

Also is it better to select workers and tell them to mine at the beginning or is it better to build a worker first? | ||

I'm not positive but i believe it is better to make the Overlord at 9/10 because cancelling the extractor causes you to be 1 mineral short of a multiple of 5 eg. 49 mins instead of 50 | ||

I belive that as zerg it is actually better to send before making. The reason you make first as terran or protoss is because it causes each worker created to be slightly faster, but because of zerg's larva it is better to send->make->split->scout overlord. | ||

If every Nydus exit and the main structure are killed then all of your units will be left to die in the stomach of a giant subterranean worm. As long as you have an exit though your units can excape. | ||

Once all such structures are destroyed, the units are destroyed. Rebuilding a new network does not bring them back. | ||

At what point should one pull off drones to deal with such a problem? | ||

Just let your opponent scout you. It is not worth it to pull even a single drone and lose mining time to chase a scout. Wait for your first couple of lings to kill the scout. If you really want to hide something that you are doing, wait for the probe to run through your mineral line and attack it then. | ||

EDIT: Sorry, I went to play again and this is what happens. Between the 9 Pylon and the 10 probe I don't get 50 minerals right away, so I have to wait 3~4 seconds to make the 10 probe. It's not a supply block, it's a lack of 50 minerals. | ||

I usually go 9 Pylon as soon as I have the 100 minerals, but that gets me in a supply block of about 4 or 5 seconds. Is there any way to circumvent this?

It's not a supply block, it's a lack of 50 minerals. This happens to all and there is nothing wrong with it. It's not avoidable, you could probably make the block half second smaller by splitting you workers and mining from the closest patches only, but yeah the supply block happens, always. Stick to building your pylon at 9. | ||

1. 10 Overlord for Zerg? 2. 10 Pylon for Protoss? Assuming all my previous probe/drone production timings were perfect. | ||

The optimum number of mining bases is 3 since you don't build enough workers (if you usually aim for 70-80 workers) to saturate any more bases than this! I understand that Zerg needs the larva from the extra hatcheries to match production with the other races... but couldn't they just be built in-base if more expansions aren't safe yet? (I'm not sure if this is a simple question or not, but I know it doesn't warrant a whole thread so I am sticking it here). optimal saguration is 16 workers on a mineral line, zerg has the possibility to get drones and units faster with more hatcheries. zerg don't need to be ahead in bases in every circumstance but its generally a good rule to follow. Zerg gain so much from a hatchey, larva, mining, creep and unit producing ability. I guess some would say zerg units are weaker and cheaper and therefore zerg needs to stay ahead in economy in order to win. I hope this is a good answer. | ||
