Mix it up. Protoss generally creates an army with a big unit variety - zealot, stalker, sentry, templar, immortal, colossus, phoenix - why would you try to fight that with a limited number of units yourself?

Protoss needs three upgrades (one of which is twice as expensive) to fully upgrade ground units. Terran needs only 2 for bio/2 for mech ... I don't see why it's a big deal to forgo one upgrade on either your bio or your mech units (you need the armory either way for +2 bio ups, and ebays are cheap and let you build turrets so you pretty much need them anyway too) and get 3 upgrades total for your ground units. You're still spending less total on upgrades than a P who upgrades ground attack/armor/shields.

Most likely I'd think you'd skip mech armor, since if you're going bio you probably are using them mainly to keep your mech from getting hit in the first place and you won't have tons of Hellions where it might matter.

well about upgrades, i think you could go 1-1 for your bio, then you need armory, so you go +attack for bio and +attack for mech. 3-1 for bio and 3-0 for mech is good enough

Perhaps it's time I play some protoss again and see if new terran bio styles are effective. I never lost to a bio player before I switched to terran, but perhaps my style is no longer valid. I don't see how people are still having issues with bio play.

Nice game! You could also drop tanks on the buildings next to the xel'nagas. Though only effective if the P doesn't bring collosi, it would be a good way to get some nice early damage before engaging =o

I've been trying Hellion harass/drop into Tanks, Marauders, and Ghosts lately and it works really well. Like everyone has been saying, good EMPs are absolutely crucial!
