Short blog here.

So I decided I would pseudo switch to terran. Yesterday I had good success on ladder, increasing in rank some. I did some decent strats, and progressed decently...

But, after watching some strats on streams I realized I was for the most part mangling what I was doing, and so I changed strategies. But they turned out to be micro intensive, and i just got rolled.

I would like to request one basic build order for each terran matchup

I would post in strat, but I don't even think this is worth a thread, considering I'm messing around mroe than anything.

Also, anyone willing to look at any of these replays would be most welcome.

* 10/11 - Supply Depot (1)
* 12/19 - Barracks (1)
* 13/19 - Refinery (1)
* 15/19 - Marine (1)
* 15/19 - Orbital Command Upgrade
* 16/19 - Supply Depot (2)

This is the basic build order that almost every terran strategy starts from. Either throw down a factory after this or put down another barracks while slamming down an add-on.
Can transition into 1-1-1 (1 barracks, 1 factory, 1 starport) for some banshees. This will limit your ground forces though and is not recommended if you have problems with early attacks.

A better idea would be to get 1 factory with a reactor and a few barracks. You can then do a marine/hellion push, possibly adding some marauders. If you add marauders you can switch the tech lab from the barracks onto the factory after a while and get siege tanks while the barracks gets the reactor so you can really pump those marines.

If you do a marine/hellion/marauder push you will have a pretty good chance of getting an expo up. When your economy starts rolling, transition into tank/marine and get some bio upgrades.

TvZ: 12 rax 14 rax, pressure while adding CC then go double gas. From here, you can transition into tanks or hellions. I'd recommend getting the standard rine/tank/medivac army in the end.
TvP: This is kind of up in the air for me. You can do 1-1-1 -> rine/tank -> mech or do 1 or 2 rax expand but it may be difficult to hold cheese on some maps.
TvT: I just do the standard reactor rax/tank/viking with some add-on swapping for getting raven/more vikings. Banshee openers are also popular in TvT.

You play defensively until you build up your tank count then push cautiously to his base. Siege up at a good location while expanding.
