First off I have played over a thousand games of starcraft/broodwars, yes I have no life, but I do know the game. YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME CHECK MY STATS!

Ok, I don't know skooshy22, but he doesn't even have an account on that name on BNET, and he sounds rather mediocre, no offence. So I wouldn't follow his strategy to much.

--How to stop any early zerg rush with any race-- You see a group of six zerglins comming into your base what do you do? First off all you should 1 marine or 1 zealot. The zerglings will follow the first guy. Take that guy to your workers where your mining. The zerglings will go after the guy by your workers. Your workers will slow down the zerglins from reaching your guy. Additionally If you stop your workers they can score free hits while the zergling go toward your marine or zealot. Have no marine? In that case select all the workers and have them mine the same mineral cluster, preferably one indented. Then when the zerglings come press the attack button.

-Basic Build orders-

--Zerg-- 9 Drones Overlord then mutate extractor build another drone and cancle construction so your psi is 10/9 then hatchery pool 2 drones from there it is up to you.

--Protoss-- 8 Probes pylon probe Gateway keep building probes a second gateway or a second pylon depending on whether you plan to rush. From there it is up to you.

--Terran-- If you are bad at stopping the rush I recommend the first one. 7 SCV's Barrecks SCV Supply SCV bunker marrine. Or if your micromanagement is good and you don't fear the rush try 8 SCV's Supply depot 2 SCV's Barrecks.

--Economics--

-How much to mine? You should 2-3 miners for each mineral cluster. It is near impossible to win with 1 miner per cluster against someone with 2-3 miners.

-Macro Technique I recommend building more Barrecks/Hatchery/Gateways/Factorys/ect... then you need. Heres why, in the middle to late game the cost of an additional building or two isn't much, and the benifits are well worth it, even though you may not be able to be building guys out of them at all time. It still worth it though, because when you are commanding your attack, and you should not lead them blindly to the enemys base, your reasource will stockpile and additional buildings will allow you to build guys faster when you are done with the attack.

One more thing expand expand expand, and kill other expansions!@#!@#

CreepColony's Opinion: These are standard build orders for non money maps like Lost Temple.
