Are there any strategies that involve no lair? For example in Broodwar, you can do 3/4/5 hydra, but now that hydra / roach / everything else is Lair tech... -_- You've got the queen and lings, that's pretty much it. Banelings are lair tech too! | ||

- no ranged unit until lair - no mobile anti-air until lair - dependent on queen for early game defence and detection - detection is expensive as hell - all units that can hit air cost 100 gas (corruptor, mutalisk, hydralisk) Is it just me, or does it feel like Zerg is severely crippled early and possibly mid-game? | ||

cool beans. @wurm yeah lurkers have been hive tech since i played it @people talking about zerg being defensive; entirely right. zerg not having hatchery-level mobile anti air was rather inconvenient, especially vs something like a banshee rush. now not only do they keep the hydra den at lair, they move roach den up too. I am going to return to my cave and wait until the beta. @Blizzard making a queen and several swarm clutches to defend vs air is really quite constricting; in sc1 the option to go hydralisks to fight corsairs and/or wraiths was nearly necessary due to the tech/economy tradeoff of Zerg. With only swarm clutches to defend, P and T will be able to dictate Zerg early game to a highly inconvenient degree. Not only does it force a defensive style by precluding most pre-lair attacks, but it also cripples zerg early anti-air thereby impacting the Zerg economy/tech choices as well. Good thing zerg gets +1/+1 and zergling speed for only 100/100 lololol | ||

Hydra at lair tech means power boost from sc yay! At hatchery tech all you can make is zlings? Queen can't even become static D until lair tech and the creep tumor, I don't know its purpose, looks like an ugly donut. Buildings look cool especially the pool, and hive looks really similar to sc's lair. (Lair is my favorite) Lurker looks more cute than intimidating. Zerglings look like mini scythers(from pokemon) and drones look like scourge. Muta looks cool and hydra design looks a little too complex | ||

Also, I get the feeling that Blizzard is trying to make games interesting by making them players climb the tech tree before engaging in battle. Climbing tech tree means longer battles (usually) thus making them more interesting. I don't know, my two cents. I also think that the Baneling is adorable. Like a cubby booger with knives. | ||
