nice tactics dhd. Well you coulda easily had well over 50 roaches by that time ( u had over 6000 minerals at the end :) ). Just remember to spawn larva and expand and make OLs as zerg.
Heres a tip for u: since roaches regenerate health very fast when burrowed try to burrow the ones that are low on health while battling. By doing this you can kill his whole army without any losses, but be aware of detectors!

in general i would avoid getting roaches until mid-game...early on they aren't worth the population, you just can't get enough of them. i find speed lings + banes is always a superior combination in tier 1 and tier 1.5, even in team games.

it's possible i might change my tune after playing more team games, but that's been my experience so far.
