Shokz Starcraft 2 Guide Review | Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategy Guide

If you are playing Starcraft 2 and you are playing Terran, no one can certainly fault you for being a wussy. Terrans in Starcraft 2 need some major tactics to play well against Protoss or Zergs. Let’s not even get to Terran against Terran. That, of course does not mean that playing the other races is going to be easy. Only that, with Terran, you really need to keep a close watch on your build and upgrade choices to prevent getting caught by surprise by a rush five minutes into the game.

Let’s talk about some general tactics you will want to pin down when you want to play Terran. First, realize that Terrans have one major advantage over the other races: their impressive ability to wall off entries to your base. Basically, you want to identify quickly the ramps leading to your base and wall it off with some of your buildings. However, don’t go walling off your ramps right at the start of the game. In a game, the first thing you should focus on is establishing a viable economy. For this, you will need to figure out the optimal build order.

A basic Terran build order which can help you establish some semi-balance of control in a fight is to first focus on your production at the start of the game. Before you build anything, first acquire at least 9 to 10 SCV’s. This is the optimal number you want gathering minerals at game start. Make sure that your way points are set accordingly, that is to say, set your way points to the nearest mineral harvesting point so that every time an SCV comes out, it goes directly to harvesting minerals.

Once you’ve reached the optimal SCV count, build a supply depot. Position it strategically – meaning use it to wall off a ramp. After the supply depot, start building your barracks to gain access to your first and cheapest offensive/defensive unit, your Marines. Once you’ve got a barracks setup, build another supply depot. After that, you can start building a refinery. By the way, as you are creating this buildings, continue on with your SCV production. Also, use only the one SCV to create these buildings. Once you’ve created a refinery, make sure to assign at least 3 SCVs to harvesting Vespene gas. Once you’ve got this done, you can now focus on your offensive/defensive unit preparations. From this, you can proceed to either a full mechanical build or an MMM combo.
