Drone is basically right, try to make the matchup fun, don't do the same build every game, mix it up each time. There will always be the 30-40+ mins games that end up in mass turret BC battles but hey nothing you can about that-_-;

GOD I despise TvT. I realize that this is due to the fact that I suck at it, and it always seems to be a turtling tank match eventually evolving into a BC battle, and whosoever has more...wins. As for advice, you can try to make 4 goliaths and a drop ship quickly. That's pretty handy, you can out micro tanks using the ship and kill lots of scvs. Turrets suck though.

an interesting build i never got the time to learn was 1 fact tank/1 starport build. It's extremely good vs anything but 2 port wraith, so u might want to look into that
There can be only one

I remember watching a TvT game, forgot who exactly. They were at 12 and 6, and had the same damn exact builds going. They even lifted off their rax and floated at each other at the same time. I think they only broke mirror was when one went mines and the other siege.

If you go gas before rax on this you can have cloakwraiths and siege mode with constant wraith/tank building .. its a nice art build ..

fastexpansion with tank / turret -> mass upgraded metal + lockdown/nuke
works for me and takes the need to use mucho dropships as you can try to
- nuke harrass expansions
- nuke lingering dropships - no red spot
- perimeter nuking: you can nuke tanks staying out of siege range by using blastradius for enhanced range.
- nuke tank encampments and follow up with all army go
- try to make him "flee" before a nuke into your sieged tanks ;-)

A REALLY cool special I had in a recent game:
EMP his comsats and then nuke "right in his face" where he even knows where your ghost is. Opponent was so busy checking his comsat that he left half his army in the nuke ;-) and went "wtf, didn't scan for a minute or so, :o"

Sounds like a newbie strat and it is in a way. But just don't try funky stuff at start, make a flawless build getting fastest tank/turret and early game should be survivable. And lategame you'll have an assload of interesting possibilities.

+ if you are contained you should have a ghost in a ship to nuke harrass and also possibly be able to nuke your way to freedom

+ dropdefence: if he dropped his golli / tanks and sieged, you can run in your cloaked ghosts, lock sieged tanks and take out the dropforce with attackmoving metal armies ;-)

+ you can rely on lockdown vs battlecruiser so just tech straight to 3 3 metal (tank/gol), ignoring air tech. This is highly cost efficient, as Battlecruisers tend to majorly "slurp" your gas.

+ if he builds bcs remember to get emp/+ one vessel to emp those medics that he'll build for restore spell and emp medics before lockdown.

gg,
expecting to loose, you'll be amazed how often this wins (at least for me) ;-)

TvT is the best game.If it bores you,probably chess bores you too.Vs 2 fac gols,go fast exp-->2 fac tanks with m/b bay over the exp.Its only an opening though..You gotta practice...
MadFrog : In my opinion, the biggest reason why WC3 is dying is because it is not such a great game as Brood War is.

Emp comsat can be countered. If he knows where the ghost is, all he has to do is move an scv right next to the cloaked ghost then siege attack til the ghost is dead.

That's pretty cool, didn't think about that ole "antilurkertrick". Anyways, it's actually a lot harder to pull of then vs lurks/dts, nukeing ghosts don't blur and there are no spikes either, so you really have to remember the last position of blur. Good luck; if it stops you from moving away your scvs, all the sweeter if you fail to get the ghost ;-)
