I think tvt is simply about firstly preventing the other player from attacking you early. You can do this: By mining the way from his base to yours then going gols, this stops drops too and when you add 2-3 tanks you can expo. You can also prevent him from attacking you by fast siegeing his or your choke, this way he needs drop to get to you so you can go turret+tank+expo. Another thing you can do is to go 2 port wraiths. This will prevent drops but you have to get at least 1 sieged tank quickly or else he can just siege up and kill your wall if he has 1-2 gols. You may choose to go for cloaked wraiths too, this is a good strat if the other guy doesn't have turrets up quickly. To summarize, we can say that 1.Your first goal must be to prevent him from attacking you early, thus earning yourself an expo. 2. Vults are a good opening unless you see fast drop. 3. Tank/Gol--> expo can be good if you secure your choke with tanks asap. 4. You can choose to wall and tech to drop if you want, this will not necessarily earn you an expo (e.g. vs 2 port wraith) but if you can hurt the opponents econ enough it can compensate. I know I haven't covered any late game stuff, basically because Im so tired, but late game is important to drop alot and def your cliffs/min lines while getting many expo. Hope that helped, plz don't complain to me again Marshall  | ||

IMO the most secure tech is 2 fact gols and starport, that way you can stop tanks with good micro, and vults with a good amounts of gols and RAPE 2 starport tech, there are several styles of playing, the most known are 2 types, the one who drops and harasses expos and mains to destroy his economy or trying to shut him in his base with the well known siege tanks and across the map the turret wall, or you just can make the gay BCs tech. | ||

Against vultures you should get firebats. Firebats do a pretty good job of taking out mines with their splash damage. Against BC tech you should probably expand 3x, protecting each base with 23 turrets and a tank, and go mass 3/3 marines, don't worry about medics too much because if the terran is really good he will micro his BCs to make medics useless. | ||

Forget vults. When you think your tvt is solid see if you like them or not. Remember to build a lot of turrets all over the place, this is where you can use your extra mins you allways get. Early game turrets is just about coverage, later maybe not. 2 port wraith is very nice, and risky. If the opponent does it, prepare for hard time with expanding. Don't make too many gols when he goes wraith. If you want your natu, try to turret it fast if he has wraiths. Wall in is not required, but it is still useful. TvT is about where the units are, and that's why drops own. There are allways holes in defence, empty places, find them and put your guys there.  Watch out for fast exp in the 2 empty starting locations, when they are built it's usually too late. Allways be aware, use scanners wisely. | ||
