is this viable?
Download replay

The main reason I'm doing this build is to punish all the greedy zergs out there..
It works great against low gas, FE openings.

The build order is something like this:
9 Supply
12 Barracks
13 Refinery
14 Scout
15 Supply
15 Orbital
16 Factory
When factory is done build:
Barracks
Supply
When Rax is done build:
Supply
Ghost Akademy

On first available Rax
Techlab
Ghost
Nuke

and what do you do when your nuke has fallen ? you have no army. And without cloak, is it even possible to make this cost efficient ?
Sounds like a build you can use to troll much lower skilled opponent, nothing more

It's not viable, i would suggest not doing this, you can't just cut that many units and econ.

What keeps the zerg from killing the ghost when you call down the nuke?

few months ago qxc was experimenting with a hellion/ghost expand

he was using ghosts to nuke spines / force uproot and then going in with hellions

i dont know where you can find any replays/vods tho, so hf lurking the tubes

Being bronze level ¬_¬

Sadly, this strategy is not viable on one base as a rush, but you might be able to incorporate nukes into the late game as a distraction/economy/tech harass.

Did any of you who just commented watch the replay I posted with this bo?

I didnt cut any units at all. Unless u count dragging half of the scv's with you to push as cutting units :/

It is what it is, a build designed to punish greedy zergs in low leagues. The players there can and mostly will fall victim to this kind of cheese. It's a fun build to do and since you will have next to nothing for an army you should go full out and cut every corner for more ghosts. Ghost Dps isnt that bad if left to fire away with no detection.

I'm currently at work, so cant really watch that replay.

Nevertheless, seeing that you have 2 production facilities (Maybe 3, if you built hellions) at 7 minute mark with no expo doesnt sound legit at all. + pulling half of your SCVs??? Seruiously, if you want to punish greddy zergs who do low gas builds, do a 6rax allin, it will work way more often, and you don't have to rely on zerg falling asleep for 20 seconds for your nuke to land.

But i really don't see why make ghosts. Everyone higher than silver will pull units from his nat and your nuke will damage a hatch, maybe kill a spine. Assuming youre allin with half of your scvs chilling near his nat, this is quite morbid way to end the game for terran.
