build supply depots at the edge of your base you should always notice it imo there is plenty of warning | ||

I don't think it is "too" good. Every matchup in SC2 requires you to protect your main more than BW. | ||

Edit: Think late game ZvT, even if you play perfectly defending your main/nat (which I think is way way harder than it looks) you'll have a lot of trouble getting even just a third if they can Nydus to whichever base your army isn't at | ||

Ok, here's what you do if you scout a nydus in his base and you see a peculiar-looking overlord perched just outside a dimly lit area of your base: First, position all your troops just outside of the sight of the place where he's going to plant it in your base. Your troops should be roughly in the center of your main. Second, resist the urge to destroy the nydus when it pops up. Third, and this is crucial, the very second it's finished building, have your troops attack from 2 separate groups 90 degrees apart from one another. This will allow them to have the perfect arc around the nydus almost instantly. Fourth, scream for joy as he, like an idiot, continues to pour his troops through the mouth of the nydus while you 30v1 all his troops. Fifth, roflstomp his base. | ||

Ok so assuming the zerg plays horribly and the Terran plays perfectly the Terran gets an advantage? What if you see the Nydus, and see no Overlords around your base? Overlords with speed are reasonably fast and unless you have like 4 vikings patrolling around your base you won't be able to even see them coming (and even then you can miss it) What if he attacks your nat while your entire army is in your main? Why can't he just stop units from popping out in my base and pop them out in his own? (can he not do this?) | ||

I simply assumed it would have to be this way (a la nydus in BW) Actually not so much as the nydus worm is like a unit as you build one off the nydus network also why would something that in theory drigs a huge ass hole underground to connect 2 places need creep, seeing as the nydus worm cost 100 gas and mins i would say it's fine as is, although i haven't tried map abusing cliffs near the natural or something with nydus worm. | ||
