@EGOwithin Actually the 75% has been in since beta the new feature is it showing you getting the 75% back as pop up text. But you can watch alot of terrans misplacing supply depots in the beta walling in and cancelling and not having enough to rebuild rightaway
This strategy was used by July Zerg in the GSL. He hid a baneling nest at his expansion and the Terran player didn't have a clue that a baneling bust was on the way. The results ended in July's favor.
@swixomix A Hatchery in construction starts producing creep slowly as it builds, give it enough time and you can build a Baneling Nest on that creep when you cancel it. As for why: Nobody expects the ZERG to have hidden tech around the map, and reacting to your opponent's tech is a big part of the higher leagues
I've experimented with using an overlord to drop creep at a random place on the map and making a spire there, and then making a crap ton of mutas. they never see it coming!
lol this is used to plant evo chambers on enemies base so that when it dies it spawns broodlings harrassing the mineral line. kinda stupid to build tech buildings like this because it will eventually die...
@hydrokat143 You can actually do that at the enemy's natural. Creep Tumor will be invisilble and creep won't disappear. He will have to get some detectors to kill Tumor and even then it'll take some time for creep to disappear. But I guess rarely you get Overlord speed and transportation before enemy's expo.
I would love to see this done with a spawning pool. imagine how confused the opponent would be when they scout, don't see a pool, and then have 6 lings in their mineral line.
@Chrisisist actually not. hatchery = 300min, spawning pool = 200min. so that's only a delay of about the time you wait for an overlord to be buildable. only risk is loosing your bleeding pool. you'll need to build lair and let overlord poop creep to save it. but by then it's dead. all in strat for sure.
@XGeneralBeanX but you'd need to wait for 300 minerals then run the drone somewhere hidden to make it and the opponent would still know a 6pool cos they would see only 4 drones at your mineral line.
@AEgamesFtw You are over analyzing my statement and under analyzing the situation all at the same time. No one ever mentioned a 6 pool. Droning up a bit would probably be the smart move anyways. 8-10 drones seem like it'd be a good number. Anyone decent knows that if they don't scout a pool then there is no threat (minus a proxy hatch but the search would distract them anyways). Then you would hit them and hopefully catch them off guard.
Its been a while. This doesn't still work does it?
@XGeneralBeanX no....if you got to 8-10 drones then waited for 300 minerals then sent out a drone to hide a pool, they'd already have their spawning pool up and zerglings anyway.
@AEgamesFtw I can't tell if you imply that the opponent would already have lings after this or if you would. If its the prier you are wrong for to many reasons to list. If its the second then you probably lack a decent amount of knowledge or experience with the game. Droning up and having a drone ready to hide the pool at 300 minerals takes very little time. When a typical opponent scouts they might not get why you have the drone count/tech but they would not assume there is hidden zerg tech.
@XGeneralBeanX oh, please, I'm in european diamond league I know a bit more about the game than you, I'm willing to bet :/ It wouldn't matter if they don't know whats going on because THEY WOULD PUT DOWN A SPAWNING POOL ANYWAY, ESPECIALLY if they saw you didn't have one so that they could kill you.
And a protoss or terran will have walled off by then or when they scout lings leaving your base.
@AEgamesFtw *saying you are something on the internet and expecting people to believe you aren't lying*
Well I'm actually Idra so I think I know a bit more about the game than you.
The only actual Idea I made in my OP was a joke. If you really want to "analyze" it then you (are an idiot and) get when your opponent scouts and doesn't see a pool they will be confused when you attack soon. The Idea I presented could physically occur. Of course it wouldn't work 100% of the time but little does.
@AEgamesFtw You are aware that the video you posted on your channel the day you posted this comment shows you at Platinum right? I'm flattered that you are so intimidated that you feel the need to lie to impress me.
@XGeneralBeanX Yes....I'm in European platinum. Good luck finding a European platinum who can beat me. I doubt you'll be able to. The only reason I'm not promoted is because I tend to get 10 zvz in a row and get 6pooled or ling flooded every time.
@AEgamesFtw I am not bronze. And you can still build 2 spine crawlers to defend against 6pool. Btw, 7pool is better. Faster lings and 1 extra drone :/
@AEgamesFtw if you can't handle that, you dont deserve plat :) (this is coming from a diamond europe player ;) i stopped playing after season 2 else i would be master, believe it )
@AEgamesFtw meh, depends on which cheese/ your micro/ your race/ your scouting/how you react. I stopped loosing to cheese a while back, and havn't lost to it since :)
it cost 25% of ur hatchery's cost, 75mineral
