The main one I'm thinking of, is the Drop Strategy..Where you amass a large army and load them up in Shuttles/Overlords/Dropships and sneak behind the enemies base and just unleash...

I've gotten owned so many times that way!!

What strategies do you guys usually use? I like to Mass units of all kinds, to give kind of a balanced effect.

Classic BGH strat: 2 tank drop behind their minerals on that sometimes-land-able cliff.

I don't really use many old school strategies, but I have considered a more defensive move while playing (zerg). I think it was evo chamber first > lair?

You make 4 spawning pools. You will be amazed at what happens next.

4pool works as follows:
1: Don't do ANYTHING (except order your workers to mine) until you have enough resources to build a Spawning Pool.
2: Build a Spawning Pool.
3: Wait until you have 150 minerals.
4: Build six Zerglings.
5: Zergling rush kekekekekeke

At no point in this process should you build any Drones.

Allied mines.

Hold Position lurkers.

9pool with asap ling speed.

Allied mines is actually illegal in competitive play lol. You can stop lurkers from attacking by clicking on a building in a fog of war, there's a real sweet video of a guy doing it to kill 24 marines.

quick tech to robotics, use two zealots to block choke and quickly get a reaver and a dragoon, drop in mineral line. works like a charm against terran who are unexpecting.

A stategy i like to use on team maps, is to have a terran ally use a comsat station on a zerg base(enemy) and build a nydus canal leading to it while a nice big army waits at your end

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
