Bind each of your base to 2 F-keys so you can tell your workers to mine and transfer them from base to base. Leave the last F-key for your rax which you should clump in a nice grid. To macro just recall that particular key and cycle through the buildings without the need of moving away from this screen. Use number hotkeys for units, comsats, and extra CCs. | ||

Currently learning FD TvP. Looks great! Luckily in TvZ your skills should transfer over a bit. Tank Marine Medic is standard (although pure bio is also very popular [called SKTerran]). Marine splits vs Lurkers and Darkswarm is like vs Banelings. Drops are a lot more powerful in BW that if you take out a base with 1 micro'd drop early on you are set to have a very strong lead and you can kill 50 banelings worth of units with just 2 medic, 1 firebat, 5 marine drop if you micro well enough. TvP will be a whole new kettle of fish, but there are many styles you can play. You can play aggressive or passive depending on what style suits you. There's no sense of a ticking clock like in SC2, you can win at any stage of the game, early mid or late as long as you cost efficient with your units (and Terran in BW can be very cost-efficient). If you want someone to practise with feel free to add me on Iccup. /f add sGs.Slugger Also http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=272674 | ||

Yes because any tech outside of dragoons and zealots are capable of ripping through marines pretty badly. Reaver scarabs or psi storm = insta-death for any bio unit the terran has. | ||

i also suggest getting some type APM alarm (I think APMAlert is one, among others, search the forum). One of the biggest differences between BW and SC2 is that in SC2, you benefit from being fast and having high APM - in BW, its a requirement. Boxing workers and spamming hotkeys at the start of the game seems stupid at first, but it gets your fingers warmed up and if you engrain that 1-2-3-4 muscle memory into you, you will have a much easier time moving your army around. For any new-to-BW terrans, do yourself a favor and Check out Stylish'S FPVODs http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86770 . I think they're outdated with respect to current trends in the pro scene, but just being able to watch someone play terran, explain their thought process, and give you various build orders will help alot. Good luck! broodwar is the shit. Also switch to protoss if you get tired of getting owned, its much easier to learn. | ||

It's a bit of a harder game to get into, but it's definitely worth it when you do. | ||
