Does anyone know the details about Zerg Eggs and how to create them, what sort of rules they have around them, etc. Thanks.

Preplace them or make them by creating units from larvae, or mutate a Hydralisk into a Lurker.

Quote from Wiki
Cocoons, Nuclear Missiles, Zerg Eggs, and Zerg Lurker Eggs will not register as "[men]" or "[any unit]" in the Bring condition. The Nuclear Missile will register as a Nuclear Missile in conditions, the Zerg Egg will register as a Zerg Egg, and Cocoons will register as Cocoons, but the Lurker Egg will not register as a Lurker Egg.
Pre-placed Zerg Eggs, Zerg Lurker Eggs, and Cocoons will never finish morphing and cannot be canceled.

Here's a post with a map attached utilizing unlimited eggs for WASD movement: http://www.staredit.net/327456/

So I see that I have to run Insane Campaign to make the comp spawn them, but how do I get so many eggs like the map seems to be able to do?

It's been a while since I tinkered with it, but from what I recall:

1) Stack a bunch of Hatcheries/Lairs/Hives on top of each other for maximum larvae production.
2) Set up an AI script that will make the computer want to start playing melee.
3) Place mineral fields nearby so the computer will want to build workers for mining resources.
4) Have a trigger always providing the computer with enough resources to build workers.
5) Have a trigger that immediately gives the computer's eggs to a different player.

Basically, the computer will keep creating Drones because you keep giving its Drone eggs to a different player, so it realizes it has 0 Drones in production and immediately tries to create more.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
