Re: So... Starcraft 2?
I almost always place my buildings to protect my mineral lines, as Zerg, but it doesn't always come in handy. Ranged units will pretty much ignore that tactic and attack whatever is closest, yet out of the spine crawler's reach. For defending against melee units, I find it's best to close off one side with the Spawning Pool and a Spine Crawler, giving melee units one side of the Spine Crawler to attack. The rest will circle around to get to the inside, were the drones are, but the Queen will be waiting. If ranged units are attacking, sometimes it's possible to use the Queen to pull them towards the Spine Crawler.
