Alternate Methods for Obtaining Resources

my plan is that the Zerg can produce a nydusworm near a mineral Field and let their drones go trough this too a hatchery so that they needn't make extra hatchery at the mineral field.they are getting quick ressources! maybe they can morph a nydus worm to a yellow mineral field and let their drones collect minerals drones there without having a hatchery at this point.
the vantages: u can save money for the hatchery
u can send Ur drones back when they are attacked

for the functionality of this strategy is it needed that the nydus stays the whole time there and that the drones are intelligent enough for go trough the nydus and back to the minerals and the nydus must be buildable in normal ground also no slime

edit: an example:
i want too get in a late game quick ressources as zerg player. I build a nydius canal at a mineral field to a hatchery so that my drones can trough the nydius canal to the mineral Field and back trough the nydius canal to my hatchery...

...say it again but now in UNDERSTANDABLE english

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

Ha? Please write this again..

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

I dont think this will work, drones and the controls arent smart enough to do this.

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

how would you stop this from being overpowered, this basically says only nydus costs for a whole mineral expansion

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

mmmh this is right but u can only deffend this station with units and not with buildings because than u need a hatchery again so its not easy too def and its easy to kill it.also u only can do this in a late game.

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

why would you want to defend it?
you can have all the expos you want and you can retreat from the place with only a few minerals loss

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

but it's no problem for a skilled Terran player to stop this he can lay at all mineral fields and hats not much on a 1vs1 map lay a spidermine(when they come back) or let a cobra standing there and e would see it quickly when the zerg player make a nydus there also the zerg player can't nyd there because it needs a time and the nydus would be eliminated. so i find its a good tactic.

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

the spidermines have been removed
and this also means that the terrans must place a giant force at ever potential expo; one word: zergling rush from the nydus

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

not a giant force lol in SC1 2 marines have been enough for destroying a nydus while he was built

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

yes, but the zerg get much more and faster forces in the beggining of the game, so they can find the most expo's, so they can start building nydusses

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

yes that's right ,but :
-u can only do this at late game, because need a swarmstock
-u have at late game most good ressources or most expos are already taken from other players
-At late game there are better weapons for all races and there are one more or one less not bad and the most expo's are scouted and when u are toss t the most u have a observer.
-the possibility of being dead before u can build this nydus is high

So yes it's only overpowered when Ur enemy haven't much expos or haven't much units too attack the zerg nyduses

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

I don't like the idea, sorry. Too overpowered, and there's no real way to counter it.

 

Re: alternate methods for getting ressources

I dont get it, its overpowerd. 1v1 every unit counts. Then everytime u play against Zerg, that would mean "Damit I need atleast 2 marins at every mineral field to be able to cancel his nydus worm." GG for that Terran or Protoss, 2 bad u play against zergs. I would agree on this Idea if the nydusworm cost more then a hatchery. Like 1.5 times more, but gets buildt faster. Np for me.
