zerg strategy
Zerg are generally offensive,Zergs are weak in the begaining part of the game and gradually get stronger in the later part of the game.They will eventually get upgrades and strong units such as guardian.Zergs are weak comparing to Protoss and Terran but cost less.For example a Zealot cost 100 minerals,and you can get 4 Zerglings for the price of one Zealot.Zerg's true ability is speed building and attacking with a LARGE number of units in a short period of time.Here are some basic strategy and useful info for Zerg:
*Zerglings are very good against marines,seige tanks,vulture,ghost,etc.they are almost good against every Terran units except for firebats.Zerglings S-U-C-K against firebats,if you have 20 zerglings and your opponant have three firebats,you will loose if you attack with your zerglings.It is a good idea to take care of those firebats with your hydrolisks then attack other groud units with your zerglings.
*Zerglings are also good against most protoss units especially if you have a large number of them,they are fast both at running and attacking.For example,a dragoon cost 150 minerals and 50 gas.with 150 minerals you can get 12 zerglings which can take out the dragoon really easy.
*You might find burrowing your units under ground quite useful when your units are badly damaged and needs time to heal,it's a good idea to bury your damaged units at the back of your defense so if your defense do get destroyed,you can unburrow those units and defend with them.
*It's a good idea to build creep colony(sunken or spore) far apart at first to spread your base since to construct a zerg building,you'll have to have creeps to build on,it's important to not build your buildings too close each other 'cause then you won't have enough creeps to construct more buildings.
*Because Zerg units are weak,you need a large number of them to attack.To do this you'll have to buid at least 3 hatcheries.
*Scourges are extremly good againt Battle cruisers,Carriers,,Guardians,and even Wraith.Scourges are cheap to buy and you get two of them from each lava.
Advanced strategies
Fastest Zergling Rush
*get your 4 Drones to gather
*do not build any more drones
*get your Overlord to find your enemy
*when you have 150 minerals take a drone that is gathering and make a Spawning Pool
*while constructing the Spawning Pool,build one more drone
*when Spawning Pool is done you should have 150 minerals,build 3 lavas to Zerglings
*when Zerglings are done attack!
I really like this strategy because in the early part of the game your opponant usually won't have much defense so you'll be able to win easily.This strategy work best with small maps.
Guardian Rush(risky)
*get 4 Drones to gather
*build 3-4 more Drones
*build a Spawning Pool
*build a Drone and a Overlord and a Extractor
*get three Drones to get gas and when enough minrals and gas,evolve Hatchery into Liar
*build another 3 Drones and gather
*when Liar is done immediatly build a Spire and Queen's nest
*when Queen's nest is done,evolve Liar into Hive
*build 5-8 Mutrolisks
*when Hive is done,evolve Spire to Great Spire
*send your Mutrolisks to your enemy's base(attack if you want and when your enemy doesn't have air defense)
*evolve your Mudrolisks to Guardians when Great Spire is done
*then finish of your enemy
I also like this strategy 'cause your enemys usually won't have any air units when you attack with Guardians.Even if your enemy do have some air defense such as Missle Turrets and Spore Colonies,your Guardian's attack range is further then them.
Zerglings Drop
*get 4 Drones to gather
*build three more Drones
*build Spawning Pool when enough money
*build 2 more drones
*when enough minerals build an Overlord and an Extractor
*get three Drones to gather gas
*when enough minerals and gas,evolve Hatchery into Liar
*start building Zerglings
*upgrade Overlord so they can carry
*when finish upgrading,drop your Zerglings with the overlord at your enemy's mineral gathering place where their workers are
*kill your enemy's workers so they can't gather
*finish of your enemy with what ever you want
Important: This strategy work best on small maps so your overlord won't have to move to much.Also if your enemy build defense really close to thier resources,do NOT use this strategy,you'll just get your Zerglings killed.Use this strategy when your enemy build their defense far away from their workers
