For protoss/zerg rushes, prepare a few SCVs at your choke point to repair your wall and put down bunkers in advance to increase the defense damage. Most of the time you will have no prob defending unless you screwed up on macro.

Tanks and maybe banshee to counter the marauders?

i got 3 around mines, 12 marines.

wiped by mutalist, around 10 i think.
my economy brokedown. the rest is just a story.

i read marauders not recommended against zerg.

im doing mass marines, hellion, tanks. doings very well against zerg.
until mutalisk and some wierd looking flyers ruin it all. lol.

have u tried thor?

I, as a zerg player, HATE fighting thors. Honestly, especially one walking together with a ton of stimpack marines and marauders. You should think about using thors when vs-ing Muta players. ( referring to thejols )

Thor is very expensive ". takes longer to build. and by the times its out, tons of mutalisk already rape my scv.

i did notice multiple mutalisk bouncing poo, can wipe entire marine quite easy.

i will give thor a shot tonite. maybe my skill in macro not enable me to spam Thor fast.

i ussualy reaper all race i face, give me an edge in term of resource, produce more unit, etc. but not gonna make habit on that coz in proper league, reaper rush is predictable and easily counter. and it will render me useless with soo many resource spent.

I've learn my lesson to always scan the enemy base before sending in reapers.... I didn't do that in a protoss match and his cannon wiped my reapers T.T

shiet my macro sux like hell, haha always forgot to expand and anti air, and zerg always send their muta to harass me. damn..

i learnt my lesson.

dual barrack mass marine, heavy block on choke point with barrack, s.depot, 2 bunkers, 2 siege tank
then expand, do the same on new expand. while massing Thor.

works for 2 games last nite. wanna try it again to find weakness by playing other ppl.

p/s and make sure stimpack upgrade ur marine. against mutalisk u will die anyway, so just stim it! for rapid fire

Sounds like a pretty solid build order good luck ^^

2 bunkers sound like overkill. I'm not sure what league are you but a high level players won't just attack a terran's front door without preperation.

I can see that you have solid defense and a slightly fast expansion. If I'm a zerg I would expand faster than you and macro like crazy since you are "turtling". All your units have low mobility so a zerg wouldn't worry much.

which is the best anti air for terran against mass amount of Protoss career? Thor or a lots of Vikings?

VIKING

viking will be better, as they got bonus against huge ships. thors are better against clumped up smaller flyers though, like mutalisks/phoenixes/vikings

but building thors just for the sake of anti-air is overkill...

not it isnt, it puts any phoenix/muta/viking users in immediate despair.

and whos to say you cant hammer his base with those thors? (thors hammer lol)


take a page from this.

The best units depends on the composition of the opponent. If its purely mass carriers, then go viking and MM (marine medivac). If your infantry upgrade is strong vs opoonents air upgrade, protoss carriers do very little dmg to your rines.
2 cents.
