subject: TerranStrategies [print this page] Have you been dreaming of becoming the next top-ranking terran player? You can easily be able to destroy your opponent. Then, this Terran guide is for you as it seeks to throw more light into the complex nature and form of the terran species in Starcraft 2.If you are to compare any race in Starcraft 2 to humans, it would most certainly be the Terrans. Perhaps this explains why they are a natural favorite among Starcraft 2 game fans. Similar to humans, the Terrans have the capability to use up the natural resources of a planet. Also, another reason which makes this Terran guide a much sought after item is the fact that with the Terrans, it is basically much easier to plan and execute game strategies. There are 3 major builds which are common among Terrans up until the very high levels, they are:
One This is called the Infantry Build, Infantry is not a single unit, but it is using a combination of units. MMM - Marines, Medivacs, and Marauders is the one that is most commonly used. It is super powerful, but also carries weaknesses! Some people simply just get a massive army of Marines and Marauders. For aerial strategies, it is best to use barracks and reactors together with Marines to produce a more formidable defense strategy.
Two. Air - You want to bulid massive air units after your initial Infantry attack. You need to have a very large infantry attack at first, and the enemy will react to your infantry units, and then follow through by building an army to counter ground units, but you will be able to eliminate him, coming at an angle that is unexpected.
Lastly. Use Thors and Siege Tanks for the very effective Mech Build. The Thors take out the aerial targets while providing cover for the tanks which are used to take out the ground units of the enemy. However, judging from the capacity of the enemy, you could also include an addition of Hellions or Vikings to your retinue. A Mech Build strategy cannot be rushed, it takes a lot of patience, it is more of a grind than a fast win. You need to slowly and surely advance one step at a time.
These are some good tips for any Terran player, regardless of the strategy you use.
Each race in Starcraft has strengths and weaknesses, it is your job to know what they are. It is imperative to know what the weakness of your opponent is before he makes his move on you. Without knowing you will be unable to cover the holes in your game, and use their weakness to your benefit.
Micro-management is also very vital. If you want to become great at this game, then master Micro-management.
This guide is just the beginning of the necessary steps to becoming a legend in Starcraft 2.
