Ultralisk Pressure

Submitted by ConfusedClergyman

This strategy works well on most non-money maps. All you need to do is tech up to Ultralisks and Cracklings. Having some Defilers could help, but not totally needed. Now, if you find an opponents base or expansion not being monitered at the front with anything at all, build a hatchery. Once that is done, build a nydus canal in two or three bases of your own, and put the exits all at the creep formed by the new hatchery. Burrow a crackling just so you can see the front of their base or expansion, or maybe a little before. Now, from the new hatchery, keep producing Cracklings. From your expansions, keep making Ultras. When you have about 8-10 Ultras, send them all through the Canal. Send in the Crackling a second before the Ultras, and make sure that the Ultras have at least the speed upgrade. If they have air, ignore it. Have the Cracklings nail High Temps and Zealots/ Tanks and Gollies/Ultras and Hydras while the Ultras kill off anything else. Once the units are gone, or you start losing, go for important buildings. Stargates or Ports are nice, and so are Spires. And if the person does some form of a drop in your base, you can run to the Canals to get back to the right base, stop the attack, and run back to attack them some more. Now, you can`t expect to own the person like this, but you can most assuredly slow him down majorly if not totally stop him in his tracks. If for any reason you are being foiled raelly bad with air units, send some Mutas with Devourers and some Scourge. I really didn`t find it necessary, since if you are fast enough, they should not have anything higher than Wraiths or Scouts, and if they do have Science Vessels, just bring the Scourge anyway, the last thing you want is to have your Ultras beat down by irradiate. And always dodge around if you see a High Templar coming at you, they will not be able to target well with the storm. That should be it, and if you want to really mess them up, dropping lurkers during the chaos is fun, and Hydras being dropped make air units not so bad anymore as well. Just remember to not stop building Ultras and Cracks, these will level most bases with ease. Keep in mind this is NOT for money maps. If you play on money maps, stop now, they will dullen important skills and are very little fun. And if you are wondering why it won`t work on money maps, it`s becasue on money maps, most Terran Supply Depot/Bunker/Tank themselves in, most Toss cannon in and most Zerg build a ton of Sunkens. Oh, and in case you need to be told, always have a detector with you.

CreepColony's Opinion: Use defilers to dark swarm.
