1. Marauder (Terran) - This is a very cool unit with armour-piercing capabilities. He's a little expensive but excellent in some situations.

Probably the strongest unit in the game and the reason why so many people think the Terran is overpowered. For example, Terran can build this unit from basically the start of the game. The Protoss counter to the Marauder is Colossi, which are really high up the tech tree (need to get a Gateway, Cybernetics Core, Robotics Facility and also a Robotics Bay before you can build a Colossus; Marauder only requires a Tech-lab add-on to your Barracks). If you're playing Zerg, you basically don't have any good counter for the Marauders.. maybe using fungal growth with Infestors, but that requires like a Hive tech or something pretty high as well. I guess mutalisks would also work, but they die real quick to marines which any half-decent Terran player will always have in his army. Hydras are alright against Marauders but not exactly low-tech. Brood Lords would do well, but they are, once again, at the top of the tech tree.


Marauders are actually one of the few things thatstill get decimated by Zerglings. The problem is when they get a mix of Marauders and Marines :P.

Incidentally, I don't use Colossi to stop them, good amounts of Gateway units deal with rem reasonably well, especially when supported by Immortals and High Templar.

Reavers - thank god they're not in SC2


You may well be the first player I've met who is happy with the loss of Reavers. I'm curious why.

Have you seen the patch notes for the upcoming 1.1? Zalis - 31/08/2010 02:15:43 PM 1319 Views

Agreed on the queen. The corruptor remains awful. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 09:25:08 PM 996 Views
I generally agree BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:44:20 PM 1153 Views

That is where the Overlord drops come in handy BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 02:10:03 AM 1080 Views

I don't play as Zerg either, but I've seen it done effectively. Check out this video BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 03:13:51 AM 1225 Views
That was a great move! Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2010 03:24:46 AM 1265 Views
Yeah the roaches made a huge difference BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 07:42:46 AM 1147 Views
I'm only familiar with Zerg and what annoys me as Zerg, SO. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 10:12:48 PM 1137 Views
Tried Zerg once or twice in coop games last week. Any advice for a Zerg noob? Zalis - 31/08/2010 10:36:28 PM 1068 Views
Queen per hatchery. Constant spawn larvae. Expand creep constantly. Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:53:27 AM 1078 Views
The thing about the Zerg in Starcraft 2, is that they're a very reactionary race. Variant - 02/09/2010 09:12:16 AM 1227 Views
Thanks for both replies. The Queens + larvae help tremendously. I'll work on the rest. Zalis - 02/09/2010 08:41:24 PM 1070 Views

Also, wraiths are worse than useless BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:49:17 PM 1080 Views
I really only play the campaigns in single player mode, so my experience might be a little different Cannoli - 01/09/2010 12:54:07 AM 1306 Views
Marauder... expensive? Variant - 02/09/2010 04:30:47 AM 1106 Views
Re: Marauder... expensive? BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 05:21:22 AM 976 Views
Well, we've got Force Field, Hallucinate, Psi Storm and Feedback, so I'm not complaining . Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 07:04:39 AM 1027 Views
They're handy in team games. Not so much in 1v1. Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 07:35:10 AM 1100 Views
In regards to Infested Terrans Variant - 02/09/2010 07:48:36 AM 1168 Views
It's slow as all hell. Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 08:02:51 AM 1117 Views
It depends... Variant - 02/09/2010 08:34:53 AM 1112 Views
The Raven is excellent, but in my opinion it's really expensive. Variant - 02/09/2010 07:31:38 AM 1171 Views
Yeah, the ability to do all that while burrowed is really great. BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 07:42:22 AM 1058 Views
You can? Crap. In that case, I need to start using it. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 09:33:17 PM 517 Views
Yes... press the hotkey for burrow and then the key for parasite (very quickly, but in that order) BlackAdder - 03/09/2010 03:39:38 AM 1051 Views
