Larvae Management

While both Protoss and Terran only have Minerals and Vespene Gas as basic ressources, Zerg has a third one: the Larvae. Constant high production of these is essential to be a successful Zerg player. Especially in the early stages of a game as Zerg you will find yourself more limited by Larvae than by Minerals, meaning perfect management of these should take a high priority! Believe me this macro ability decides wheter your economy is snowballing or not.

By the numbers:

By default, a Hatchery spawns 1 Larvae every 15 secs, making 4 Larvae per minuite. However with the help of the constant use of the Queen's ability 'Inject Larvae' we can bring a single Hatchery up to exactly 10 Larvae per minuite.
