Although weak, their attack speed with Stimpak is so insanely high that they are capable warriors against several large units, including Battlecruisers, Carriers and Mutalisks. There will always be a reason to have some on hand, so make sure you do! They can stomp out small groups of invaders, get slotted into a Bunker for extra defense, or run around the map in groups of 4 or 5, scouting and killing off small expansions before they even begin.Įven late in the game, Marines are still a necessity. The Marine is the backbone of the Terran army. They get even better if you have a Medic to support them and if you buy a few upgrades, especially Stimpak which increases their attack speed. With decent range, mobility and a rather high attack speed, it can dish out tons of damage at an extremely cheap cost. An argument can be made for it being the most universally useful unit in the game. How and where wall-ins are possible are usually described in the map articles.It can't be stated enough how great the Marine is. In later stages of a game several buildings are used in the same way to deny enemy melee units access to expansion spots.
This principle is called wall-in or sim city. Due to the weakness of Marines against their pendants - Zealots and Zerglings - the first two Depots and a Barracks or a Bunker are placed in a way, that the ranged units can use them as physical obstacle they can hide behind. This means SCV production or Vespene Gas harvesting is temporarily stopped in order to train more units or raise a structure earlier than usual.īuilding Placement often plays an important role for Terran as well, mainly in the earliest stages of a game. However, in modern Terran match ups, especially against Protoss, Terran often works with so-called economy cuts. An overflow of workers on one Command Center will be transferred manually to a newly built expansion ( Maynard Slide). If not stated otherwise, a Terran will always constantly produce workers throughout the entire game.
Terran in most cases does not need to make a decision whether or not SCVs should be produced.
In comparison to Zerg, the underlying logic is easier to understand. Both races can produce workers (SCVs and Probes respectively) and fighting units from different structures (Command Center and Nexus respectively) and additionally research upgrades in tech buildings or add-ons. The Terran macro management is relatively similar to the Protoss base management. The following table lists general strategies (Guides), specific openings (Build Orders) and other related articles. However, a well chosen strategy enables Terran to turn seemingly fragile units into a deadly army, while still being able to play as aggressive as any other race. Furthermore, Terran strategies are often pictured as the passive part, partially because of the aforementioned unit characteristics. This reputation is mainly based on the fact that Terran units die rather fast in the early stages of games against the other units, which in turns forces a Terran player to control the units with care. Terran is often described as the hardest race for beginners.
