About 2 weeks before the last iccup
i decided to switch from protoss to terran
i figured it would be a good expirience since i like terran better than protoss
so right now i'm d-/d and kinda sucking
my favorite build is
8 supply
9 barracks
10 gas
12 marine
13 factory
14 fac
15 marine
16 siege workshop
17 siege workshop
18 supply
19 marine/tank/expo\
i was wondering if this is a good build or not and if so
what could i improve on?

Recommended Threads ftw :o

A good build order would be:
9 supply
11 barracks (get at least 4 marines before your factory finishes to defend against early goon harass)
12 refinery
14 supply
16 factory (remove all but 1 scv from gas)

Then, when factory's near complete, start mining from 3 gas again. Get machine shop after it's done
When it's done, research mines.

Alternatively, as soon as your machine shop is building, you can throw down your command center above your ramp.

You're sacrificing so much economy for no reason. You get two factories, but only get one tank before expand. For maximum economy without delaying unit production much, you can go
9 supply
11 or 12 barracks
12 gas
14 or 15 depot
15 or 16 factory (these depend a bit on if you lost a scouting SCV or if a probe killed an SCV)
etc. someone should be able to give a more detailed build than me, but that's a much better start. Look around the teamliquid replay section for the Flash vs Stork game on Colosseum, Flash uses a very solid TvP build for playing off three bases, getting a large army with fast upgrades, and moving out rather safely.

@infinity - If you wall, you can live with 1-2 marines fairly easily.

About your build order, you sacrifice too much economy from building things too quickly. You want to be building scvs nonstop maybe except at 16 supply when you want to get your factory up asap.

Well, okay. This build would never work in TvZ, because he can just expand as much as he wants. I can elaborate more tomorrow but I've gotta go for now.

With close positions will you be able to hold off the goons with a bit of scv healing of the depot and then tank positioned correctly?

I think what Sea does is build a cc off 1-2 marines and increase to 3 after the cc starts building. I prefer having at least 4 though. Not all of us have pro gamer micro and it's not worth risking the entire game for a minor advantage since we're not quite at that level of pro-ness

13 factory?

thats....interesting

and then 18 depot?

I'm going to cautiously label this a bad build

unless he goes super mega hardcore

I mean if you do it on longinus you're fucked, but if his goons are shooting up ramp and he went something like 1 gate tech you're fine.

Just make sure to pump tanks initially (since it wouldnt make a ton of sense to FD off this) and siege expand cautiously
