1) Whats the build order? How early should you expand 2) Do you make marines at all? Or anything besides tank/vikings? From what I read on the forums it LITERALLY seems like all you do is make tank/viking the entire game. Although this sounds funky on paper 3) Is T/V strictly a TvT thing or is it a universal strategy It sounds like a poplar strat but for some reason I don't think I've ever actually fought it. Or maybe I have I just didn't realize it. Help on how to do this build would be nice | ||

Once you get 6+ tanks, any bio army will melt trying to attack you upfront. They have to drop and harrass your base (which is often hindered by vikings--- viking air superiority is VITAL) I usually get 2x reactor starports pretty early and just PUMPvikings... it sucks, it's boring and I wish there was another safer build. Going 3rax expand or 1 rax expand puts you into trouble with potential banshees. | ||

Tank/Viking isn't a build order, it's a unit composition that is quite frankly terrible until you get ALOT. The main problem with it is obviously the immobillity, and tanks cede all map control to marauders, since in the earlygame marauders absolutely demolish tanks forcing the tank/viking player to turtle up at his natural. Going for a mobility based army that transitions wayyy later into tank/viking seems to work out better. Then whoever has more gas will win the game with a higher viking count which allows for battle cruiser production. | ||

It's tank/marauder(few marines)->tank vikings->vikings/BC, but the game usually ends after marauders own tanks trying to go siege mode. | ||
