![]() Especially in the early game where you can work toward an optimal build without interference, and without any need for micro distraction. If the objective is to learn to "play better", or to "grok economy", or just to win some games as a noob, then _practicing_ build orders _over time_ can be great. I guess they're only really useful in-game when you can 'feel' them a bit. If your primary and only objective is to win the current game, thinking too hard about it may not be very useful. And I have thoughts about the usefulness of build orders. I'm doing a lot of growing as a player these last few, dozen years. Now simply mass Roaches forever until your opponent dies or until you lose.Ĭheck out the replay in my post.With this mineral:gas ratio you can afford to get +1 Missile Attack upgrade, from the Evolution Chamber, a Lair, & Roach Speed from the Roach Warren.In total you will want 3 Extractors so that a total of 9 drones are mining gas.Drone up 2 bases so that both bases have 16/16 Drones on each mineral line.I guess the opener of this build put into super basic terms would be something like: The next instruction is a "16 Hatchery" so this means keep making Drones until you're at 16 supply, then send a drone down to your second base to take a Hatchery so that you are now on 2 bases. So "13 Overlord" means make a drone first (since you start at 12 supply), then when you're at 13 supply make an overlord. These numbers generally mean at what supply you're making something at & unless otherwise stated, make drones in between. When you're new following an exact build order may be too hard. The maxout is later than if you straight up open 3 bases (opposed to a 2 base opener), but the 2 base opener is safer & your opponent's max should also be delayed because they need to invest in defensive stuff in order to survive vs the initial +1 Roach Speed push. Here is an example of +1 Roach Speed into 66 drone 6 gas Roach Hydra: You could get Nydus/Infestation Pit instead of +1 Missile/Roach Speed and play Swarm Host Nydus, really up to you. You could skip +1 Missile, still get Roach Speed and play Roach Queen Nydus (for this stop at maybe 37 drones instead of 41~42, so you'll be 16/16 in main, 12/16 at natural, 3 gases full). Then instead of +1 Missile/Roach Speed, you use your 200 gas on a Spire. instead of +1 Missile/2nd/3rd Gas, you can get no evo upgrade (evo just used to wall), add 2nd/3rd/4th gas. After the point of the build where I wrote "37 overlord" you can just do something different. You don't HAVE to open 2 base +1 Roach Speed with a 2 base Lair opener though. If you want to play Roach Swarm Host, same deal 66 drones/6 gases, Infestation Pit, +2 Missile, +1 Carapace. If you want to play Roach/Muta same thing really, 66 drones/6 gas, +2 Missile, +1 Air Attack. If you want to Roach/Hydra after drone hard to 66 drones/6 gases, Hydra Den. If you want to macro out of your timing drone your 3rd base and do whatever. If you want to just all-in keep making Roaches. Mass Roaches, make overlords as needed, hit with +1 Missile & Roach Speed.Make 3 Overlords (I assume Overseer may die, the other 2 overlords give enough free supply to make a bunch of Roaches).50 gas after Roach Speed: Overseer for scouting.drones: Stop droning, take a 3rd base (may or may not to make a few Roaches first to secure your 3rd base).Important vs Zerg that may have speedlings & Terran who may have Hellions. ![]() 3:30 2nd evolution Chamber so that your natural is fully walled except for 1 space a Queen can hold position.Chamber: +1 Missile & take 2nd/3rd Gas.Both Queens inject, main Queen walks to natural after injecting so that you have 2 Queens to defend the front (except vs T, keep the Queen in main in case the Reaper goes straight into the main) 3rd Queen (in main), make your natural a Lair.2 Queens + 0~2 sets lings (2 sets good vs T as they may make a Reaper, otherwise 0 to be greedy & get an extra drone out, 1 set to be slightly less greedy and have a couple lings to scout vs P/Z).17~20 Gas (20 Gas times out better, but if you do get cheesed you won't be able to get ling speed or a Baneling nest to defend stuff).Make overlords before you're supply blocked, (whether your second overlord is at 19, 20 or 21 supply doesn't matter THAT much) it's more that you make it period, hit all of your injects, spend all of your money.Ī basic build order is probably a 2 base Lair opener that is very often a 2 base +1 Roach Speed opener: I would say it's more important to have "generally good macro". I don't think EXACT build orders are that important, but they are somewhat important.
