I've been trying to figure out the build order for Terran Mech vs Zerg on Temple, using Goliaths/Tanks Valks or Vessels when necessary.

I was wondering if anyone had a good replay of Terran Mech vs Zerg on Temple.

Would be greatly appreciated thanks.

From my experience i only think it works if you cripple zerg badly then do it. Like sneaky vultures or a fast goliath drop, then go mech.

Yeah, I got that, that was awesome.
So is that Faye one that Allister gave.

But, doing fast expo for Mech Strat vs Zerg, would be really hard to pull off if Zerg decided to start harassing you with lings early.
If a Zerg catches Terran going fast expo for Mech strat, isn't it pretty much GG?

yosh wasn't pure mech, he'd use defensive bunkers and up rines. Thats gay

according to drone the best mech opening is a 7rax to offensive bunk, it makes sense, since it contains them to 1base or maybe even kills them(1 base zerg cannot beat a good mech terran).

However, I can't stand doing that.

i also don't like speedvult rushing to rape drones, or going wraith(unless i know for sure either one will work)

i prefer straight up 2fact goliath/vulture/tank. I also prefer to get my exp up as soon as possible. I also like to use 1 vulture to contain if possible.

Also, start getting ups right away, and if he gets mutas, use less gols and more turrets for a while(you will need the gas).

One of my favorite games ever was a short game of Scvsss or somethign doing that to Sobad[Rush] from Cosmo's cafe. Sadly, Cosmo's cafe no longer exists.

Slayer vs Yosh is Here

not sure if broodwar.co.yu will let you link directly. if not just go there and search for it.

another really nice game is H_Paul_WII vs yosh. Yosh loses though :[

as z, play vs mech as you would play against P...Take the map continously, but mass hatch and just alot of cracks / hydras / gaurdians in late game

by the time t has xpod with mech, you should have atleast 5-6 hatches flowing ling hydra with a few lurks, and DO NOT let them use drops. Mech drops are fucking impossible to stop

Actually, it's both. Muta/Hydra is how you beat mech. I myself generally have a hard time with mech as well...=/ Seems to be the one terran strat that always throws me off guard.

Uh Lazyscv, it's not like people will go on a exp frenzy before they get muta. If the z just takes his natural, starts pumping muta, have like 10 and then take 2 more gas expands, that was what I was talking about. And an initial attack with 8 gols and 2 tanks will get raped by a dozen of muta.

gols only do 50% damage to mutas, this is why.

dude how could you possibly say switching to ultras is a good counter to mech?

have you ever attacked goliaths with ultras or ran them through a mine field?

Golaith +1 weapons does 24+2
24+4
24+6
Mutalis +1 armor is 0+1
0+2
0+3
Goliath does xplosive dmg per upgrade, to -2 per armor muta.
Mutalis can -6 and 50% of goliath dmg. Which is 12-6 (full armored muta to no upged goliath)
A goliath can dish out a max of 15 dmg to a Non upgraded Muta. (Few progamers upgrade armor only for their mutas to cut the explosive dmg -->ChoJJa and [NC]...YellOw) Muta is 120hp Goliath is 125. If they both are even in upgrades, or max. The goliath is the better unit. Due to range, and cooling time.
So, overall I think an upgraded goliath owns Zerg Air.

EDIT: I think a key to making them work, is paying attention to their upgrades.

except for the fact that goliaths usually die b4 getting off a full round of missiles to kill 1 muta? Sure the gollie looks better statistically, but in actual gameplay microing mutas vs gollies is easy as shit, and armor ups>>>>gollies. While your busy trying to pump out of 4-6 facts zerg is just recycling mutas and adding expansions. It can be done, but vs good zerg you'll have a hard time unless you get em fast enough early game with like a vult drop/contain or something to deny their eco from getting too good. Valks make mech strats 10x easier btw cuz they are sexy and eliminate those annoying hydra drops which usually gg any terran mech. And ultras sure arent the best thing vs mech, but they are more of an "anti-push" vs mech, cuz they deny any chance of a tank pushing setting up.

<--- Master vs mech
Ok, so basically what you do is get 2 or 3 hat +1 armor muta from your exp and your main, perhaps building 1 sunken at each if they decided to vulture raid. Just keep on massing muta, and you should be able to own any pure goliath strat. Don't get a lot of drones, like 12 per base mining minerals max, and when they expand you take another main/natural. Build 3 sunkens or so at the natural, and it is most important that you are mining as at each. Never directly confront the tank/gol force directly; if they run out of their base to attack, try to force them back in by attacking their main with your mass mutas(which should work unless they have like 10 turrets at each base). You should build a few scourge if they are getting valks, and wait until the terran gets to one of your bases or you get to 200/200 to attack. Then you should continue to take islands(which the terran won't be able to stop), and probably make some defiler and ground units or something(my games vs mech don't really last this long). The only problem with mass muta is valk, so once they get 5 or so, you should have 4 bases to their 2, and continue expanding, and you should just win with an econ advantage. The key is not building ground units early, because they pretty much get owned by mech unless you outresource them by a huge amount.
There can be only one

Speed lord vs mines (not that mines are practical anyway, because you just flank the ter once he gets out of his base <lack of mobility>)

I build ultra when I get 4 or even 6 base gas, before that I just do mass muta. If they get valk, I try to hold on with mass muta + scourge for some time till I get ultra. Ultra rape goliaths.
