From your question i get it that you dont play zerg. Go play it against AI for testing purposes and try to spend all your money without getting a second hatchery. Then compare your minerals and supply to a terran. You will float minerals and you will be behind in supply pretty fast. Zerg cant spend all his minerals with only one hatchery, there is nothing else to build for zerg, therefore they get the hatchery at the expansion. Just to give you some numbers: 16 workers are enough in order to build non stop zerglings from 2 hatcheries with 2 queens (and perfect larva inject). The same is true for building drones, as they obviously cost the same amount of minerals. If zerg doesnt get a second hatchery before 20 supply, they fall behind in supply extremely fast. Just try playing zerg before you rage. That they only build drones also makes sense, because they fall behind in economy if they dont build drones. Just look at the worker count before 25 supply. Terran and protoss will be ahead in worker count, because zerg has to spend drones for buildings. -1 for pool, -1 for gas, -1 for the hatchery, -1 for likely spine. Thats 4 workers very early in the game that they are missing. For that reason they have faster larva spawn rate than protoss and terran can build workers, but if you now take into consideration that zerg also needs to build overlords and then the eventual 2-3 sets of zerglings in order to scout, they will be behind in worker count. Any more larva they spend on something other than a drone, they fall further behind in economy. Just open the worker count tab before 20 supply and compare zerg to the other races. | ||
