I dont see the problem with many larvae lying around unused. You are not punished for not using them.


Besides losing out on a new unit every 15 seconds? Yeah, you're not punished at all

I have a feeling alot of people in this thread didnt read the OP.

While yes, it was a wall of text, i did find it semi helpful

I read the OP. I just don't really have any comments on it. It's all things that have been said before, and it takes up ALOT more space than it needs to. It's as simple as "Zerg synergy is dependant on larvae costs, and balancing your army around spending all of your income with minerals, gas and larvae". Examples might take another small paragraph.

Interesting, I hadn't really thought of mixed compositions as simultaneously optimizing the resource and larvae constraints, but it makes a lot of sense.
