oh dude the biggest mistake new players tend 2 do is they dont make enough units. this is absolutely huge. trust me as terran, ur eco will give u more than enough to make plenty of units and buildings, just make sure u expand and know how 2 push with mechs and dont forget 2 keep adding units 2 it

oh yeah and hotkey ur comsat as terran. itll help against any race (and extra energy goes to scouting enemy bases, u can do this more often than u think so keep it constant)

like ive said b4 in other threads, i simply dont recommend starting out as terran

Hello,

I have played a few games on SC2, but I have seen a lot of VODs of SC1 and BW looks a lot more intresting, and I would like to give it a go. I was wondering if there are any D/D- players on Iccup I can practice with so I can get better, and also any beginner Terran stratergys because I only know about Marine, Medic

Thanks

omg I can't tell you how many times i've done this, i have (what i think) is enough units to do some damage and i end up getting run over by an army 3 times the size of mine. I'm trying to work on it.

GL with practicing, if you want to practice (I'm no where near good though) just pm me :D

lolol yeah, as a zerg player, what ud think is enough, like 1 or 2 groups of 12, actually matches up badly against other races with 1-2 12 groups. aside from this little detail, ppl get crushed when vsing their own race because their units is totally inadequate. i will be fighting a zerg player with like what, 10 hydras at his base and a few zerglings and nothing else and i scout him and im like, this would be GG. and theyre like wat? and i throw down my hammer and micro his ass and im left with like 20 hydras and a buttload of zerglings and theyre like oh. GG. of course this no longer happens in ladder for me

see what happens is that new players dont scout. this is a big OOPS. players should always be scouting. second is that because of this. theyre lulled into a false sense of security and theyre flowing with money by now so theyre like wheeee im rich! and another mistake would be they start to tech RANDOMLY like ill be charging in there with my hydra push and theyll have techy stuff like queens nest and spire and hydra den and ONE evo chamber and pool and theyll be getting hive already and therell be like 8 base defenses like 5 sunkens and 3 spores and ill be like WTF NOOB where the hell r ur units? did u bury all of em and they died by suffocation? WTH

and theyll be like...damn u haxor...oh and theyll have only 1 hatchery. the one being upgraded into a hive. it is...extremely sad, to see a zerg player in such a bad condition.

Welcome to the best RTS game man has ever created. As a fellow Terran, I will warn you that Terran is the most mechanically demanding race. It will be frustarting at first, losing to mutas and 2 gate pressure builds but bear through that. Go onto liquidpedia and read he Terran strats. For build orders read Stylish's guide for Terrans here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86770 this man is the best teacher for Terrans Finally, go have fun don't get too mad when you lose and simply enjoy yourself. Good luck and have fun :D

I think zerg requires a better ability to read and adapt to your opponent with perfect timing of units/drones. I think terran requires a higher effective apm. I could be wrong as a toss player but that's always been my impression.
