    Please vote for your favorite Terran strategy. If it's not there, discuss it here. Please also justify why you like the combination. Ps. This is for a GENERAL strategy when using Terrans.

    I think there may be another thread like this (maybe I dunno and I'm to lazy to check)
    Anyways this is a great thread idea. My personal favorite Strat using the Terrans I love Teching up and smashing them with Goliaths.

    As this is about starcraft 1 (vultures), it shouldnt be posted in this sub-forum.

    Or am I wrong, now I see banshees too?

    Um, this is in the sc2 discussion. Although it says vulture units, vultures arent in sc2, but then you say vikings, they are. This is confusing but I like to raid there economy.

    siege assult

    tanks have always been my fav terran unit. Unless my opponent goes air, then I'd get vikings.

    wohoo siege assault! Though i kind of like Tank hopping, it's good versus constant enemy skirmishes.

    I like the gorilla strategy the most even though I suck at using it. The only strategy I'm good at is turtling. =D

    Vulture = reaper. Hell, reapers are better at raiding.

    Note that, with banshees, you can get something like air superiority. (Pound their bases and workers into oblivion!)

    Siege assault can use thors, if you'd rather use something other than siege tanks.

    For those reasons, and the inability to vote for more than one option, I can't vote on the poll.

    Nice thread. It's worth discussing. Teching is one of the best options for me. Just smash the opponents with better research and weapon damage. There's nothing like that feeling.

    I like more of a mix of early rushing and harassing. I find there base via early scouting and build a bunker at the entrance. Then I build the barracks fairly coos to the bunkers and star max producing marines and tech to medics and the range/reload upgrades. Then I just keep my force armed at the front and wait for a big attack and then go in for the kill. All the while scouting for other base/expantion atempts. Witch I usually have enough extra men to crush them before they can get started. If they go for the same I try to micro around and keep my economy up then build up def just incase of a counter attack then go for the kill.
