Terran Build Orders

Posted on August 27th, 2007 in Uncategorized by exocorsair

Terran vs. Terran

  • 9 Supply Depot
  • 11 Barracks
  • 12 Refinery
  • 15 Factory
  • 17 Engineering Bay

Be prepared for a very long game. You have many options, though.
Goliath Drop
2 Factory - Tank / Goliath + Expansion
2 Starport [Wraith]
1 Factory - Expansion
3 Factory Vulture

Armies will typically consist of heavy metal, turrets, possibly Wraiths and Dropships.

Terran vs. Zerg

  • 8 Supply Depot
  • 11 Barracks
  • 13 Barracks
  • 15 Refinery
  • 16 Academy, Supply Depot

Infantry works exceptionally well against Zerg. Variations include an infantry drop, or building a 3rd Barracks and Engineering Bay and researching infantry techs to outnumber your opponent’s forces. Otherwise, Siege Tanks and Science Vessels supporting infantry do very well.

Terran vs. Protoss

  • 9 Supply Depot
  • 11 Barracks
  • 12 Refinery
  • 15 Factory

Walling yourself in (if the map permits) is a very good idea, to ward off early Zealots. Variations are very similar to TvT strategies, and include:
2 Factory Tank / Expansion
1 Factory Expansion
3 Factory Vulture

However, there is one different, albeit precise and difficult, strategy that is worth mentioning:

Gundam Rush (continuing from TvP build)

  • 9 Supply Depot
  • 11 Barracks
  • 12 Refinery
  • 15 Supply Depot
  • 16 Marine (scout now)
  • 18 Factory
  • 19 Marine
  • 21 Marine
  • 22 Factory, Marine
  • 23 Machine Shop, Supply Depot, Marine
  • 25 Tank, Vulture, Spider Mines Upgrade (float Barracks toward enemy base)
  • 30 Supply Depot, Siege Mode Upgrade

Move your units, along with a couple SCVs, to your opponent’s choke point and contain. Rally Factories here, continue producing Siege Tanks and Vultures, lay mines, build bunker and turrets.
