New things for Zerg are Swarm Host (Infestation pit) and Viper (Hive). Early/early-mid game seems to be the same. One thing to note, don't forget you can make spores without Evo now. | ||

Imo roach expand is ideal in zvt now, and allins are much weaker in zvp. Reasoning is zvt the widow mine is really good if you're spread out and don't have lair yet, roaches help you deal with the widow mine+hellion combo to get some creep spread. ZvP mothership core can scout allins really easily and use that 100 energy cannon on the nexus to stop your allin hardcore. Otherwise early game didnt change much. | ||

Yeah, I've been blindly going Maruader Hellion All-in knowing that almost all Zergs are going Roaches and Tech is going to be severely delayed. That, or Widow Mine Expand into 3 quick Orbitals. | ||

Just send one ling out to have it deploy its mine. Most Terrans don't know that you can disable auto-cast. On December 05 2012 17:05 houseurmusic wrote: Can widow mines splash damage themselves?

WoL and HotS are different development branches, so a patch for one doesn't necessarily affect the other. However, a large balance patch for HotS is coming and it is very likely that this will include the WoL changes. | ||

But with worker saturation counts on bases, you should always be able to maintain optimal saturation on minerals (2 per mineral patch). | ||
