thats when i fly away and eat another part of your base, you cant make your dirty little clouds forever
With Consume, you can cover your base pretty well. Carriers don't move that fast... if the guy is smart, he'll stay along the shore. It's once he "flies" over the land is when the carriers are much more vulnerable.
Web doesn't last as long as dark swarm and has a much smaller area. But it will help the Protoss player a bit.
As with storm, if you fill your with some sunkens, you could potentially stop yourself from being swarmed. Let's not forget to use zerglings nicely there too.
And of course Zealots can go through hydras under dark swarm like nothing. Hydras can't touch them
But then if he changes game plan, you should too. But then you should never have just hydras...
