**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

Ok I've gone back to Terran, now I've learnt some good basics about econ/micro. I realise terran can be a bit dull, but they have lots of options, and I've actually won some games this time round :p.

My only 'concern' is early on I think terran are weak - don't get me wrong I know they have lots of options - but how do you avoid turtling as terran?
 
Siege tanks don't seem any less effective since the patch. Whats the best way of countering a turtling siege defence?

Can't nuke them because your ghosts get spotted so easily..

hmm..not really a terran player, but I would imagine:

If they're on only one base, contain and expand, take the entire map and win by default.

If they're turtling on a natural, take advantage of their immobility as early as possible and drop like there's no tomorrow.


Had any luck with banshees?

I've seen some people drop mules into the siege tanks just before you send in your grounds troops. Gives you an extra second or two to get in range, plus the siege tanks do splash damage to each other and any other uintss he has nearby.

Ravens can also work, the Hunter Seeker missiles put a lot of hurt onto static defenses.
 
I was just about to finish some dude off when he accused me of "trying to disco" him and then quit after typing a few incoherent lines of mostly profanity... Umm, what does 'disco' mean? :confused:
 
^lol :D

I'd assume that's a cheat or something. Dire that there are those who pull such crap, how low can you go. :rolleyes:

For example, I recently paused a very close game that I felt I was just barely winning, and when I came back I accidentally clicked 'surrender' (:eek:)! But I laughed it off because it's not that serious. Clearly not the case for some people...

In small numbers 4 and less, stimmed maurauders can drop tanks like a bad habit.

No real changes coming until later in the year. If I was a zerg I'd just switch to Terran and get it even with, as it doesn't seem even in 1.2, there will be enough changes to even things up.

Is it really that bad? i can't see the link at work :(

I don't wanna switch races but it might actually come to that...

ZvT is soo insanely hard, theres nothing i can do cept fudge it each time. I think its the fact the Terran is difficult to scout so can't tell what their doing.

their unit composition is very easily obtainable and extreamly difficult to deal with. Zerg really have to make use of their ability to control the map, but even that because difficult as all the units need to be together if they have any chance of doing any damage!
