Lurker Placement The Lurkers are spaced just in case the Protoss has Templar. He is contained until he builds Observers, and if he opted for Templar tech, he will be a far ways off. Your Hatchery will have finished morphing by the time he aquires Observers. When your Hatchery is nearly 4 quarters complete, pull 3 Drones from your minerals. Take the Drones to the Hatchery and morph Sunkens. Keep producing Drones from that Hatchery and making Sunkens. When you have 4-5 Sunkens built, consider the game yours. To ensure your victory, morph a Spire. Produce Scourage, and Upgrade the Speed for your Overlords. Scatter a few Overlords around your offensive Hatchery. As soon as you see an Observer, Scourage it! If your opponent attacks with his units and brings along some Observers, attack him with a portion of your troops. (Enough to keep him busy.) You want to draw his units fire while your Scourage takes out his Observers. So attack first, then move the Scourage in. The AI will target the attacking units first, and since the Scourage are passive they won't be destroyed unless the Protoss selects on them individually. Now that your opponent is pinned in, you can take the map. Expand all over. Don't get too cocky and slack on unit production however. Just ensure that you have enough Sunkens to deter him from pressing an offensive, and i'm sure he'll look for an alternate route of attack. You will want to upgrade Attack and Carapace for your Hydras in that order - after you have successfully contained your opponent. To add to your opponents frustration - once you have Overlord speed, upgrade Overlord transportation. You can choose to simply drop Lurkers on his cliff, or you can build a Hatchery on the cliff, and sunken his Probes/Assimilator.
