also, if you wanted to be a real dick while the toss player was 1 gate fast teching (presumably to +1 zeals, zeal speed upgrade, templars) you could send 4 drones to their mineral patch along with your speedlings and break up their block on the ramp with their zeals. basically there's a charactaristic in the game where worker units will run through all other units if they have an active mineral square to go to (they cant be under fog of war). so attack with ur lings whle sending drones to break em up, run lings by to other side and either own probes or own zeals then probes. this would also work if the toss was too greedy with their rush and let you own some with lings/speedlings.

usually it would just be better to make minimal lings and lots of drones though. zeals were so slow that u could start making more lings when they left their base. the 3rd hatch got up surprisingly fast too.

ok i quit this game 6 yrs ago for a reason
