1. (Game starts) Make 1 SCV, send the 4 you have to seperate Mineral

2. (SCV completes) Send him to yet another seperate Mineral pile. Make

no more SCVs, use the 5 you have to mine.

3. (150 Minerals are accumulated) Use one of your SCVs to go and create

a Barracks. (Make sure to choose an SCV that just returned to the Com.

Center, don't pull one off a Mineral pile)

4. (50 Minerals are accumulated) Start up another SCV. When he's done,

put him on a separate Mineral pile.

5. (50 more Minerals are mined) Make another SCV, when he's done, move

6. (Barracks finishes) Move that SCV back to a separate Mineral pile.

This is where you decide what you want to do for the game. If you're

going for a rush, or if it's a land map, queue up some Marines, if not,

make a Refinery when you get 100 Minerals. Also, make Supply Depots

I have discovered a strategy that works quite well for Ghosts. When nuking someone who has detector

General Tips * Queue SCV's to go back to mining minerals or gas after they build a structure. * If you begin to build up a surplus of minerals, expand and/or build a barracks and pump out marines. * Detection: You need it NOW. * Buildings make good barriers. * SCV to mineral ratio 3:1. * Put four SCV's on gas.

Make medics and mix marines and firebats. When you get around 16 infantry attackers and at least 5 medics, proceed with the attack. Use your comsat to help with recon. Know your opponent; if you can see that the rush will fail, dont waste your units. Get tanks and other tech units to beat out your opponent.

Construct a Factory when you get the gas and keep building SCV's. When your factory finishes, construct two starports and another supply depot. If your opponent is sending zerglings, marines or zealots to you, build a few vultures. Build two wraiths from your starport, and put a control tower on one of them to research cloaking. Build wraiths constantly. When you have six, go see what your enemy has. If you have the extra cash to spare build a armory and upgrade your wraiths armor, as well as an academy and a comsat. When you have 12+ wraiths expand. Don't let your opponent expand.
