Am I only one who thinks that the process of spreading creep on the map and placing Nydus worms is a form of Macro the same way Warp-In is in that it forces you to pay attention to multiple places on the map? A non economy oriented macro mechanic?
EDIT: Also the process of dropping queens on the creep patches to sustain them by placing a creep tumor.
IŽd say it is. Especially against Terrans and their salvagable Static Defenses limiting Building space might actually make a difference. (But it works the exact opposite against other Zerg...)
I'd guess players with high multitasking can creep many areas in the map and have an Overseer flying around to spread spore cloud and summon Nydus worms.
Yes Creep droping is a form of non-economic macro. I featured it in Part 6 of The Thesis

Salvage can also be considered psuedo macro
Nydus Network is only a Tier 2 building. You described it as "high up the tech tree".
Can you drop creep on top of your own zerg units before/during a battle?
Yes, you can.
I don't see any reason why you couldn't.Quote:

Excrete Creep should not be underused in its state, yet it is as unused as the Nydus Worms D:
I shall make use of it as much as I can, for both tech hiding, nydus summoning and unit mobility!
