I tried this strat (in a 2v2, I dindn't have time for more), and it was simply awesome!!!
My ally was Terran, and he was badly hurt from previous attacks, so my army ALONE (with this strat) dealt with both the Terran ennemies. They had a thor/battlecruiser army: their thors evaporated agains my ultras, and my queens forced the battlecruisers to go back to their base. Eventually, some corruptors + more ultras and queens won me the game, since it became a 1v2

Thank you for this awesome post, it really helped, i'll make sure to try it out a lot ^^
Hear me out, young padawan... use the power of... macro!

Im sure you have been using mass queens all along but just find that toss ball is unstopable unless you have 2+ bases. next time you wana slam another players idea, I suggest u try it first...


See ?

I never said anything against that composition or about my personal experience with it, i always loved mass queen since the beta. All i said was about your tone and how pretentious you felt to me in the game you submited and more and more with your comments.
But your reaction show to me why this thread is just bullshit forum wars instead of a "let's think/ talk about possible stuff".

Anyway, we have a new mass queen topic every two weeks, let's just wait for the next one to be more constructive.


Well try to make a constructive criticism rather than attacking the people behind the ideas. you will enjoy more and contribute to the site by making it a better thread. Obviously some people are finding it extremely useful so they can't be all wrong or total noobs can they?

Just to tell you: I didn't steal or copy your strat mate. My intention was to post my composition of units which usually works fine against the Toss-ball of death ;-)
My strat also focuses more on the Infestor instead of Ultras..
[besides, the first time I saw a Queen for Transfusion was on some Youtube vid during beta and as far as I remember, it was TLO who had done it]

Did you have any upgrades? Remember that Ultralisks get a LOT of armour when fully upgraded, and Marines do fairly low damage.

You may want to watch day9's most recent funday monday.

Ack, the quoting system is trolling us DiranMan. I didn't write that. Someone said

"1. I didnt edit any of my posts.
2. Yes I am insulting your league cause I dont think that anyone other than the top tier of players should state opinions as facts.
3. spamming queens non stop in midgame weakens your army and economy to that point that you outright lose the game against good players (top masters).

Nice try, but no banana...
"

and i was replying that the person that wrote the above quote should watch the last funday monday, cause mass queens can definitely work.

Somehow the quote i replied to, merged with my reply. I actually think this strat u came up with is awesome! I dunno how i got quoted dissing it. Quoting system fail.

I actually tried a very similar build to this a few weeks ago in some customs. Worked really well lategame. But i did find it rather difficult getting there in most games.

Thank you for trying and liking my strat. liquid TLO might have tried it during betta times when queens moved fast off creep. But I did not know that when I came up with my army composition/strat. besides I searched the forums and found no article on ultra-queens. I watch many pro games and never saw a mass queen build supported by Ultra/BL. I also I never saw the vid of mass queens TLO made. I don’t know how many queens he used, but I doubt he use more than 12.
I have found that the ideal composition for 200/200 army when having 60 drones is:
7Ultras, 24lings, 16Banelings, 6 broodlords, 24queens, 3infestors. You should literally roll over almost any army composition with this. Only heavy feedback/emp with the correct balanced army can handle this. don’t forget that us zergs have the fast reinforce advantage as well.
some will argue that 24 queens is overkill, i disagree, you have to remember that each queen can keep an ultra 1 more time alive, or 2 times a BL. the added advantage is that ultras actually stay and deal massive damage rather than make a death dance. also your queens will be your AA.
Note that I find very little use of hydras in my build. as they are expensive and fragile, queens can do about 65% the DPS of hydras while can tank enormously better + transfuse/spread creep+no gas no larva. Roaches are you early to mid-game main army together with lings and infestors. late game they have no place as they are not supply efficient and mess up terribly with ultras, besides you have already too much to handle so no need the extra burden of controlling them separately.

Why you don't see Queens in army = they require creep which any above average player will make sure the Zerg opponents creep highway is kept at a minimum at all times.

Yes and 20 queens with overlords wont be able to spread creep efficiently.

Aww wish i could see some pictures. :O Ya i have noticed from team games that ultralisks can be super powerful, with queens healing them that would be very scary. It would think it would be rare to be able to get this composition in 1v1

so true! marines against fully upgraded ultas do SHAT for damage.
there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont.

How about Queen/bloord/roach/infestor combo? Beyond the fact that you are going to need multiple tech paths to deal with this (T3 HTs for the queens, which are useless against Roach, and either Immortals or Void Rays for the Roaches), but the power comes from how hard it is going to be to take down the Bloords. Queens are pretty strong against Void Rays, and you can absolutely spam Infested Terran to take them down. Meanwhile, good fungal growths can stop Stalkers from blink-sniping your Bloords.

Of course, Toss can counter by mass feedbacking any Infestors and then going blink stalker/immortal. But even then, one or two fungal growths can stop a lot of an army, allowing for queens to transfuse, and that many HTs are really going to eat into production.

Idk, i'm not high enough level to really try this out, anyone else wanna give it a shot?

Untill you got your ultras out you need roaches to survive, you can heal some of them too in fight as the fights are not that large in particular. good luck healing them in a 200/200 fight...
roaches are not supply effective late game so dont use them. the single most supply effective unit for zerg is the baneling! period. roaches are on the other hand of the spectrum.
so no I dont like roaches late game.
