Well, it's very difficult to give any sound advice in general about any given race. If you could provide a couple a hypothetical situations that we could answer then we could help you more.

The only other thing I can give you in general would be the "unoficaily officail" zerg guide (http://www.pgtour.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12620&db=bw).

Thanks U-238.
My problems with the zerg are:

when should I make my first expo? (i know it depends on the situation)
how many sunks?
when should I get lurks?
when should I go mass muta?

On when to expand:

ZvT: on 12 drones after going 9ovie if the bases are far away; if close, go 12pool 12hatch, instead.
ZvP: Same as TvZ, but if you scout mass zeals, definite 12pool and maybe hatch in main.
ZvZ: Very, very iffy and heavily dependent on situation. I'm too tired to go indepth.

On sunkens:

Generally, however you think you need. If they go 3gate or 6rax, get 4-6. If they tech, 1-2 is all you may need.

The next two questions I'll answer for ZvT:

Lurkers if you don't trust your micro and harassment capabilities. Mutas if you do. There's no point going mutas if you don't harass; lurkers are easier to use, and they generally can inflict more damage.

Look in the unofficail( i no its spelled wrong) stratagey guide topic. Theres a build order archive and a zerg guide.

When I play, I mainly build a heck lotta spores and sunks, and get lurks a.s.a.p. to defend.
After I have a solid defence, I build lots and lots and lots of gaurdians and devourers, and rush with them, k?

[U-238]

-.- noobishness in every way.

A simple and staunch way to defeat that would be to simply expand to every expo on the map while racing to hive teck for ultra/ling with defiler and hydra support. Throw in some ovies and you've been pwnd.

Do you play on bnet? If you played a real game you would have gotten owned before you even got a queen's nest:smirk:

I guess if your playing against someone dumb enough to let you get that far, then yeah I guess you might win with that :rolleyes: .

Well, since U-238, Siege_Commander, and KingZao put it so well, I have nothing further to say on this matter. Good job, guys :)
