However, to clearly differ the original and expansion missions, I decided to add 'X' in front of the code for the expansion mission (Brood War, which is in this guide). So, XP = Protoss, XT = Terran, XZ = Zerg. Hello, the remaster looks great and I would like to get into broodwar a bit. I'm formerly a multi-rank 1 masters player on sc2 but I only played broodwar for the UMS games when I was a little kid and honestly dont know much of anything about the ladder meta and actual builds/strategies.

Overview[edit]

Terran is often described as the hardest race for beginners. 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. Furthermore, Terran strategies are often pictured as the passive part, partially because of the aforementioned unit characteristics. 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.

Macromanagement and Building Placement[edit]

The Terran macro management is relatively similar to the Protoss base management. 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. In comparison to Zerg, the underlying logic is easier to understand. Terran in most cases does not need to make a decision whether or not SCVs should be produced. If not stated otherwise, a Terran will always constantly produce workers throughout the entire game. An overflow of workers on one Command Center will be transferred manually to a newly built expansion (Maynard Slide). However, in modern Terran match ups, especially against Protoss, Terran often works with so-called economy cuts. This means SCV production or Vespene Gas harvesting is temporarily stopped in order to train more units or raise a structure earlier than usual.

Building Placement often plays an important role for Terran as well, mainly in the earliest stages of a game. 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 principle is called wall-in or sim city. In later stages of a game several buildings are used in the same way to deny enemy melee units access to expansion spots. How and where wall-ins are possible are usually described in the map articles.

Get the general idea

In ideal games between evenly matched players given even mineral consumption, the game should come down to who makes the most efficient use of their resources. The winner should be the player that lost the least minerals in their units lost in battle.

In popular maps like Big Game Hunters or in maps where the number of players is less than the number of players that the map was designed for (such as a 2 player one on one in The Lost Temple) it comes down to who can build units the fastest.

In most games, however, the skill levels are not equal, and (sneaky) tactics of the moment will tend to dictate the actual outcome of a game. Learning the utility and strengths and weakness of each unit will be crucial.

Starcraft Brood War Build Order

Fundamentals

What this means in StarCraft is that you want to build up big armies, and attack your opponent's smaller armies, and weakly defended buildings. A common strategy to this end is the drop. Where an overlord, dropship or shuttle is used to deliver your army to an approach angle to your enemies base which they have not strongly defended. Similarly, though, if your enemy has more than one base, it is usually best to attack the weakest first.

Among beginners, a common problem is that they don't know how to build at top speed. So a skilled player can simply railroad a weaker player by building an small army at top speed and sending them to attack the opponent's base before they have build up an adequate army/defence of their own.

So an essential skill is the ability to build quickly. This is achieved by making sure you have the fastest possible resource collecting stream as well as building in units and buildings simultaneously with each other. Here are a few rules of thumb that should be follow roughly in order:

Starcraft Brood War Protoss Build Order

There are certainly exceptions to the above rules. Different maps will dictate that you modify your strategies accordingly.

In addition to these basic rules, the beginner needs to be aware of how to perform many actions at once. Queueing up commands with the shift key is essential. For protoss and terran, your peons (scv/probe) should return back to gathering minerals or gas after commanded to create a building automatically by virtue of queued commands. Setting rally points are essential for organizing your troops later in the game, but at the beginning of the game (when you are spending time waiting for peons to build), they are effective for sending your peons to the mineral patches at the very instant they are created. These saved fractions of a second do accumulate and thus it is worth it to redefine your rally point to a new mineral patch after each peon is created at the beginning of the game.

The beginner must also become accustomed to the keyboard short cuts. Navigating the menus with your mouse while you are in the middle of a battle or other micromanagement is an unacceptable waste of time. Learn the short to building peons (terran: ss, zerg: sd, protoss: p) as well as making your common buildings (protoss probe: bp - pylon, bc - canon; zerg drone: bc - build creep, bh - build hatchery; terran scv: bb - build barracks, bu - build bunker) and common units. Look at the highlighted character in the menus to see what each key does. Press a to send a selected army to attack (to attack a sequence of points just hold down shift and queue the attack pattern up!) Also remember that audio queued events can be zoomed in on immediately by pressing the space bar.

A common mistake for protoss and terran players is to load up the unit queues in each of the buildings as much as possible at the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the game, when you have relatively little money, and little to micro-manage, you should instead queue up two units at each building and increase the queue as each unit is built. This is essentially 'cash management'. Doing this will leave you with more minerals on hand to build more buildings while not slowing down your unit build rate. Ordinarily the goal is to put those minerals towards making more buildings that will in turn let you make more units at once (it is better building 2 units in each of 5 unit generating buildings than 5 units in 2 unit generating buildings). Once this micro-management starts becoming overwhelming, use the full building queues (5) to maintain maximum build rate.

In Big Game Hunters (or a two player match on a four player map) as a rule of thumb, protoss should build towards having about 4 nexus', zerg should expand to 9 hatcheries, and terran should build towards about 3(?) command centers. The protoss are a special case, since its possible for them to be building multiple races at once (Dark archon can mind control friendly or enemy peons for other races and start building thier race as well.) A protoss player should, of course, also be trying to build 9 hatcheries and 3(?) command centers as well (if your brain doesn't explode from handling that much stuff at once.)

Then you should be building towards a situation where you can pump out units and constantly sustain a near 200 unit-slot limit while you are doing battle with your enemy. With the protoss, you should build about 8 gateways, or a similar number of telportation ports, and make sure the build buffers are always full. (These are late game suggestions that don't apply to the beginning of the game.)

Building units quickly

For protoss and terran, the army builders (barracks/gateway and spaceport/teleportation port) have a build queue. It is temping to simply fill these queues, and let the build process take care of itself, however this is not a good idea at the beginning of the game. Instead you should build lots of ground army builders (gateway/barracks) and build evenly in each. In this way, more of your mineral resources are dedicated to units that are about to be built, rather than on units that you wont see for a long time down the road. In this way you are pushing for simultaneous building rather than sequential building. You units will pop out faster relative to the minerals put into building them. Later on, your mineral production and the number of army builders should make this amount micro-management prohibitive. At this point you should switch to simply filling the queues of your numerous army builders.

Standard armies

Despite claims or theories to the contrary there are no unbeatable armies. There are no unfair units. Every attack has a counter attack that can beat it. You need to build up experience to learn how to beat any given individual attack. If you find a certain kind of attack difficult to deal with, adopt that attack yourself and see how others deal with it.

However creating a successful defense or counter attack to any impending attack requires reconnaisance to know what your enemy is up to. Also remember that an experienced opponent will also be trying to observe what you are up to.

The Rush

These players typically complain or request a 'no rush' time period at the beginning. But there is no enforcability in battlenet, and more to the point, its part of the game. The right response to a rush is: have a defence.

There are suitable defences for all variations of the superfast rushes (a handful of offensive units built at the very start of the game and sent to attack).
