The Terran players thread

[dejai]

I agree terran is certainly more intricate than the other races ghost emps are a hard thing to pull off but I think I just need to develop into that higher tier play.

[Gamepro03]

If I go Terran the opponent will go protoss and if I go protoss they will also go protoss.

So then they are a protoss player :P


Anyways,

Ghost EMP build against protoss is tough to pull off for sure, definetely have to practice getting that out there more. What's weird though is that I have a pertty quick build for nuke harrass, not going to say what it is though simply because, it sucks. Maybe I'm not paying enough attention to my base or something, but easily overrun at the moment, spending gas on cloak, nuke, ghost, medivac, etc. Need to practice that too. So yeah, any info on a good early-game nuke harrass would be cool.

I wouldn't go for a 100% nuke harass build. They are great for killing off expos and armies...but the time you spend building an Academy or two (you need two to be really effective) and upgrading your ghosts...the other guy will probably be banging on your main's front door with a whole bunch of tier 1 and 1.5 units. Especially if he scouts you out and sees that your base has, well, nothing but ghost tech.

hi guys,i got my beta key and i played some games with terran..
i like to harass with banshees,i love them

i just want some tips that can be added on my build:

first i build the wall,the barracks with reactor and going mass marines and hellions from factory with reactor as well

then go for banshees and take the scv mineral line
it worked 5 times of 9

some tips?

Hey all, have a quick question.

I just got into the Beta, and I was wondering if there's a specific build order for a Terran Mech strategy?

Sorry if it's a stupid question

[DutuCatalin]

look in this topic and you will find a lot of strategies

I just wanted to throw this out there for you guys, nothing really specific! And I don't have replays but!

Try mech vs zerg this patch I think you'll find yourself having alot of fun.

Zerg players aren't building many roaches and will have trouble taking a third base if you harass with hellions while building your thor/tank/hellion army.

Push out when you have 2-0 upgrades or so and witness the strength of terran metal!

The main issue with mech(which was still having minimal success before patch) was that if they scouted mech they could amass a really big roach ball and just muscle there way into your army....however there army will have 50% less roaches now! So thats not much of a problem...and all the units they can make to counter your giant mech ball are mostly light units...which get destroyed by tanks/hellions/thors(mutas)

yeah.. for the most part, it jstu feels taht much more conveinent to scale back on teh marauders in favour of more unit mixing vs zerg overall; i like me some marine/medivac wih my mech.
