Many people say that Terrans are not all that good. I believe that this isa because they are generally the hardest race to work with. Both the Protoss and the Zerg have excellent defensive structures which are cheap and quickly available. Terrans, on the other hand, lack such things. Has anyone developed any good terran stategies?

Generally when I use Terran forces I rush, Just make some Supply Depots, 1 or 2 Barracks, and then let em rip. Terran SCV's aren't good for worker rushes.

I like to let my partners defend while I build up to Wraths, which allows me to get there faster. Then, BAMM!!!! usually they have no Air-to-Air units, and the Surface-to-Air are easy to take out.

with terrans they are one of the better rushers. THis is the strategy i used when i played this game like a couple of years ago. Even though i prefer Protoss
First mine till you get enough SCVs to pay for things. Then start to get some marines then firebats and medics. Then go and attack keep advancing till you can get seige tanks while laying the preasure on them. Get seige mode and rip them apart.

My strategy is to find a choke point and clog it with barracks, missle turrets, and siege tanks then use a combo of nukes, marine/firebat/medic rushes and goliaths to take my opponent out. Takes a while but it tends to work against all but the strongest and most suicidally powerfel air assaults, ie., carriers.

When i played SC, i used to do a massive Tech drop harass...drop a buncha goliaths and seige tanks in their base...if they are out of base when it occurs, you basically win

for defense i ussually go for supply depots in front of your base entrance (for like fastest map games), behind them i would have marines (perferably on stim packs) with a few turrets for thos pesky DT's, and some tanks in the back.. The defense doesn't last long, thats why you hopefully should have a few golaiths in your base incase of a mutalisk attack..

I just use bunkers, siege tanks, and missle turrets,. with a supply depot wall. I use a squadron of wraiths just in case some guardians do show up, and I just build up a huge fleet.

I tend to play with only a few people at a time, plenty of room for expansions. I concentrate on my base defences first, though. When I play zerg, I also build a few science vessels and irradiate

I go straight for siege tanks. It usually works, unless I get rushed. I am horrible against rushing.

I think he meant that as a rhetorical question, not a statement. Not sure though.
