Too many probes maybe? some games I rack up 90-110 of those little fuckers and i think thats the problem with my attacks vs large homosexual slow pushes. Storm help, but HT seem to be lazy and scared of the giant mines that pop up and send them back to Auir. I miss the good old days when Carriers actually worked and people wouldnt blind and kill your obs left and right. =[


if u are just ranting cuz u are bored then ignore my reply, however if u aren't and want advice, then here is some:

when u get maxed make the maximum amount of gateways and take as many expos that are contiguous to the area of the map that u control with your units. once he begins to push you, just rally every single gateway to where his units are, and produce non stop zealots and goons. I prefer a ratio of 3:4, zealot:goon. there's no reason a terran should beat u with his push if u are out-resourcing him by at least 1.5:1, just macro like a motherfucker

Just kill his push early when you have enough production. If you let him take middle (and basically the map) you're fucked -_-;

for every 2 crystals, you can support non stop production from 1 gateway, so for every main that contains 8 nodes, u can support nonstop production from 4 gates...of course there are other obvious things to factor in such as, if u have like 10k in the bank and u havent been spending, then make like a LOT more gates to make up for not spending...but if u are playing efficiently, then 4 gates per 8 crystals, and for 2nd naturals with only 6, then 3 gates is efficent

you only need arbiters if hes able to secure a 3rd or more vespenes, cuz then simple ground units like zeal goon will just get outright romped by fully upgraded tank vult goliath, or if u get a 3rd vespene, then it's usually good to get one or two to secure the win

and about the point you made about needing to wear him down...ya that is right because he is only going to attack you in a push fashion which means that u have no other way of destroying the push other than attacking it straight up...and dont go carrier tech unless u are maxed, thats how ppl lose games they should have won cuz a good terran will scan it then push right away

You can play normal but it will usually be a long game where he tries to gay you too death by Vally pushing. Verg GAy Very Long. It is best to cheese in these postions because u will die otherwise, Unless you get some mad gosu stroke of luck and all his tanks suddenly vanish!!!!

for 3 v 12, i prefer unorthodox strategies, primarily because of his proximity to your base allowing a much quicker establishment of a push and pressure..

some of these strats would include dt drop (or proxy dt rush / proxy dt drop), expoing fast to the 9 o clock main, and proxy reaver

I think that i need to get in the mindset that im not going to beat a good terran by simplay making one awesome attack late game that fucks him up. Its about time.. and pressure... time.. and pressure...

cheese him early. wall his wall, zealot rush, reaver drop, dt drop. You reach every tech and keep him contained. Then just expo and mass. Each time he tries to take his mineral only, mass him. It will kill his second nat, your entire army, and his entire army. Both of you rebuild, and do it again until he runs out of money.

you obviously haven't played any defensive terrans, in which case "killing his 2nd nat then rebuild and repeat" usually goes more along the lines of "attempt to kill his 2nd nat...lose everything while only killing a few tanks and a turret..and then losing to a, now unstoppable, tank push"

A good weapon in such state of '200/200 what the fuck should i do' is storm drops. Only thing u can do is take everything u can take of the map. Make enough gates to replenish instantly 200/200. Arbitter is not that effective imo. u could trow 1/2 in the fight but bleh man i rather have 4 cars to force him into some gols. Try to keep him at bay with cars/storm/goon/zeal. Long shitty game. Dont give both island away. At least take 1 urself. Preferably both but well hes gonna take 1 anyway if he really wants it. Well last but not last, dont use 0-0-0 zeal/goons vs 3-3 T_T. So grade. Its hard to keep map control tho. But then again u ll have shitload of money and time.

I like Templars vs Terran. I was told by Naz, I believe, that you only go Temps if you're going Carriers, or if they're going biomech stuff, but lately I've been trying fast Templar storm drops and such, and they seem to be pretty effective. It lets you get Obs relatively fast still, so you're not screwed by Vults. I dunno. Rain, ever tried this? I guess the main problem is that every time they see the tech, they automatically make Turrets, which aren't bad defenders for the attack.

Use upgraded (get atk +3 asap, and armour+shield up as well if you're maxed) carriers. If he uses wraiths, just get a few sairs. In any case, unless you have a large economic lead, I don't believe that you can refute a good ground push with zeal/goon alone. At best, you can slow their advance, but sooner or later you're going to need more than just those two units.

I don't think you can beat a maxed out 3/3 tank/goliath army. I mean Nada has proven this to every single protoss player he has played.

Ive seen mass arbs with stasis work pretty well.

Who has every tried stasising workers? wonder if it works.

Mass carrier/templar owns goliath... at least on lotem. Once they reach the critical mass of like 12+ carrier it is almost impossible to stop.

This is too true. The only thing you can do if you remember is sci. But the problem with that is most late game terrans never have enough gas to pull it off.

The moment you have resources and a bit of containment, it's horribly important (in my experience, anyway), to immediately get a few carriers (not too many) or a couple arbiters. Land army vs. land army, with no support units, you *will* lose to a Terran of equal skill.

Sci vessels don't matter vs carrier. It's only 150 shield they lose, and they still have 350 hp (with 7 armor if fully upgraded, which makes gol attack 14 dmg less).

BC is the only way to go!

Sci vessels are better than no sci vessels. I too often see Protoss vs Terran games where both sides are maxed with 5k but one side has no arbiters and the other no vessel.

you'll never kill a maxed terran army with carrier/storm/zealgoon,tank splash and gol anti air are just insane in large numbers,theres no magical trick to stopping it,its just all about how you played the early game and making sure you go into the late game with a solid advantage that a terran cant recover from OR keeping the game unit count low [by storm raids,harass,playing a tight game instead of an all out ground war],or just go rain style and throw up 50 gates and pray you're not playing nada

dont get sci vessels because its "only" 150 shield gone? Only 150? Thats better than fighting carriers with full shields and gollies WILL kill them alot faster. You emp his carriers and toss wont be just charging through your gollies.

good thread.

AS far as i see it, Protoss cannot beat terran with a 200/200 supply with science vessel support. Not even temps can save them. every1 is saying use temps. It's not easy securing your gas expos. GOod terrans will hit it hard, vulture harassment tanks drops. It's very hard being toss.

My suggestion is to harass early on and keep harassing with drops. Try not to let the game get too long or u're fuked basically.

Look at NTT for example, after a certain time frame, he is unstoppable. Not even temps can save toss.

Stasis field can though. Disruption web can as well, but that's risky to even try.

I mean nada proved the effectiveness of maxed out 3/3 metal against intothe rain. He had 1 island, his natural and second natural. He walked out and just raped intotherain who had the rest of the map.

one thing people seldom try vs metal is mass gay cannons. it definitely slows down terran a lot more. just storm while theyre trying to tear your cannons down. imo, if you have 70 to 80% percent of the map, its really easier to win vs terr. except of course on islands.

Sure. The terran force is controlable early to mid game. When He takes his mineral only and begins to mass 3/3 tanks and goliathes then things get trick and overly annoying. You have been maxed for a long while but it doesnt matter, you might have even fucking stopped one attemp at a contain. You have an island and a main is warping in. But guess what. With the Terran Nifty comsat he will scan the shit out of you and just counter whatever you have. The Terran will then proceed to take control of the middle with his ungodly amount of tanks and mines. YOu are maxed but you are still scared to attack his big gay force. if you do, it usually dissapears even with the strongest of micro due to mines and good teank placement? You think to yourself, how did it come to this? how did i let him get 23047 3/3 tanks with enough factories to tech change at will. You try carriers but by this time its so predictable the Terran laughs at you. Maybe you try some recall on his facs, hoping to delay his production and just piss him the fuck off. It doesnt work. Its and endless fucking struggle late game P vs T vs a Decent Terran. When i say decent, im talking someone like.. Proxa[hp. You stay maxed for so long and yet you can accomplish so little. Too many probes maybe? some games I rack up 90-110 of those little fuckers and i think thats the problem with my attacks vs large homosexual slow pushes. Storm help, but HT seem to be lazy and scared of the giant mines that pop up and send them back to Auir. I miss the good old days when Carriers actually worked and people wouldnt blind and kill your obs left and right. =[


if u are just ranting cuz u are bored then ignore my reply, however if u aren't and want advice, then here is some:

when u get maxed make the maximum amount of gateways and take as many expos that are contiguous to the area of the map that u control with your units. once he begins to push you, just rally every single gateway to where his units are, and produce non stop zealots and goons. I prefer a ratio of 3:4, zealot:goon. there's no reason a terran should beat u with his push if u are out-resourcing him by at least 1.5:1, just macro like a motherfucker


then why do i always beats u in this situation


haha whatever u aren't a consistent player anyways, last game we had i ran 6 goons past your lifted barracks and you attempted to defend with one vulture (NO SPEED OR MINES)

rain, ya u beat me that game, because i went proxy 3 fac mass vults(and i did have speed and mines dont know what ur talking about", its just that my vults were outside my base cuz of the proxy). the game previous to this one(you remember where i went 2 facs, made 2 tanks, cc, then made 4 vults, attacked and raped half ur probes?) gave me no desire to try

You stupid? Mass gay cannons? Would be better to spend those on gateways and more exp. 80% of the map would win you a game or you should just die.
You are just as good as your last game.

'pray that ur not playing nada' Nobody here can play a terran like nada and talks pure theoreticly.

'u cant beat a 200/200 tank gol 3-3-3.' Yes u can this is absolutely bs. And some people already mentioned how to do it. 4/5 cars zeal/goon/temp, storm raids, add some arbitter. recall a small unit group to rape some exps.

If u have really mass amount of money u could go and sacfricice most probes to get suply for more units.

Dont go to heavy on expanding. Stay 1/2 expand ahead in mid game. Once u reach 200/200 yea well then u have to take the remaining expands. In other words dont be to greedy or u will be overrun.

So the theory is that you have unlimited money to buy whatever you want and you can't break a terran push? =[

If you really have unlimited money, arbiter/carrier is the premier endgame force, add sairs if has wraiths. Nothing terran has can match that. Just make like 4 or 5 stargates with your 12+ gateways, attack him with the ground forces that you have, replenish them (make lots of dts in the following waves since they will help lots if he unseiges and attacks outside of the protection of his turrets) and gradually build up your fleet as supply allows. Sacrifice probes to keep supply up for your ground force while you do this. Once you get 2 or 3 arbs and 8 or so carriers, it won't matter what he has. Recall to break second mains if he manages to snatch one while your ground force is falling, stasis to own masses of goliaths or enemy air forces, it's pretty easy if you really do have practically unlimited money.
Whenever you think you know something, remember this: No one even really knows if the sun will rise tomorrow. Knowledge is just a degree of belief.

5-10 arbs actually works,he unsieges to attack and you stasis his entire army then get next to it,few well placed storms and hes dead in about 1 second.obs love it too.

if you have more than 5 arbiters and 12 carriers I don't think you should ever lose vs something not involving spellcasters. (if they manage to emp your arbs, k, goliaths or wraiths might work. if they manage to lockdown arbs or carriers, the same. but if you're allowed to stasis as much as you want to, then nono )

Archon in English, would be pronounced as Arkon in Dutch ^^;

When I say it in Dutch, it's pronounced Argon though :D

I like to use only about 4-5 carriers, some sairs and as big a ground army as possible. Dweb over as many of the tanks as possible as they siege and immediately send the army with the carriers floating overhead to target remaining tanks while your goonzealtemps engage gols. Fly carriers backwards if gols target them, if you're lucky they might even stumble forward to reach the carriers as they fly back while your army continues hurting them. Be ready to dweb over the areas the tanks unsiege, move to and siege at (get the sair 50+ energy upgrade so each one can cast two dwebs when at max mana). Dweb is fking cool, it's my favourite toss spell.

By the time u get 8 arbs and actually using them decently without fucking up ur macro = omg. I rather try a good flank and drop 2/3 shutlles loaded with zeals and temp near tanks than trying to stasis efficiently. And vessel counters arbitter so badly Tt.

a real good strat i found is going fast obs (duh) and securing an island prior ur nat then harrass terran, but not too much so they get pissed and just wipe u off the map, just do 1-2 HT drops, and flank his push while it's moving toward ur base.. if you manage to stop his first push, take ur nat, and harass some more..

try to not fight an all-out war unless u have 2 more bases than the terran... even so... try to keep the war from coming, keep the ran on edge of his seat

my main problem with PvT is that i die to their first push, u know, they go fast expo, 4-5 facts, attack and i die.. i can't rev or dt cuz they have 3-4 turrets by each mineral line, and temps die from 2 tanks sieged by each cc ...

PvT is gay
