The mains are far apart, but the naturals are close enough to put marine pressure and the barracks can later be used to wall off an expansion. "Antiga Shipyard is a fairly decent map for 2rax play.
Mutalisk transitions give you a lot of map control and Ultralisk/Infestor is the endgame goal, decimating roach armies when engaged in the open." - LLL`Orly on Antiga Shipyard in " Season 3 map review: Antiga Shipyard" ZvT Zerg plays out similarly to Tal'Darim Altar. The second overlord can take a small detour to check for an enemy overlord (to determine location), then head towards the center to spot for incoming attacks. These are easy to figure out if you scout a main first. The downside is not knowing the exact timing the gas and spawning pool were put down.
In case of a fast expand it's easy to scout if 1 or 2 queens are in production. Constant vision of any units leaving the base. Faster to determine if your opponent fast expanded.

The Surtur Brood is named after Surtur, ruler of the fire giants in Norse mythology, who would destroy everything at the end of time.Antiga Shipyard is one of the four-player maps introduced for Season Three of the Blizzard ladder. However, the hive cluster was finally destroyed by the terran/ protoss alliance, allowing the Sons of Korhal to escape from the planet. However, it was attacked by a combined force of the Sons of Korhal and the Tassadar's Expeditionary force. The brood was defending the primary zerg hive cluster on Antiga Prime, alongside the Garm Brood. The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft that is ambiguously canonical. The brood surrounded the crashed Norad II in Antiga Prime and its minions furiously attacked the crash zone until troops under the command of Jim Raynor and the Sons of Korhal broke through the Brood's defenses, saving the vessel's crew. The Surtur Brood had only been seen deployed once, immediately after the attacks on Chau Sara and Mar Sara.
