My Terran Build

10 Supply Depot
13 Barracks
15 Orbital Command/Refinery
Marines till 19 Pop. then call down extra supplies on first depot
Upgrade to tech, build marauders
Second Supply depot

Make sure to keep a steady supply of SCV's. And when you are in battle, have a force for retaining your defense.

Defense:
5 Siege Tanks
2 Bunkers (2 Marines/1 Marauder)

Why not build another supply depot and use the energy on harvester?

I second this.

The only person i've seen use the extra supply well is LiquidTLO and even then he usually does it to fast expand. If your playing fairly standard then the energy is better used on a mule.

I need a good strat for stopping a two gate zealot rush as zerg in 1v1. Halp!

Do I even have time to get a warren up before the rush? How many drones do I need? How many roaches do I build? Queen? A little vague is all I'm sayin.

I need to stop failing.

Anyone want to help me on the basics of terran? Like, I understand most of the concept, but the finer details are keeping me from being competitive with my friends.

I think it's pretty much wall in / turtle till you get drops then spam a massive attack force with siege tanks mixed in.

throw in a ghost or 2 against P

wall in/ turtle = your opponent will expand like crazy and mass more than you can, that is if your opponent is smart enough

I still think for beginners and any league below platinum, they should be walling in. You don't need to turtle if you wall in and it still gives you some early-ish protection and prevents scouting.

But i do love facing the turtle terran as zerg. Just mass expand to every point on the map and break them with waves of units.

Build Forge away from enemy
Spam Photon Canons
Win

Send 1 probe to enemy base immediately
Build Pylon in enemy base, probably somewhere they can't see.
Build forge on pylon
Build cannon or 2 as close to enemy base as possible
Inch forward with more pylons and cannons

Much faster.

uh no...

clearly mine is faster since I don't have to build two pylons...

yours is just more secure as you don't risk losing the first pylon to workers...

misread probes as pylons...

They're the same.
