Mid Position Terran Mech build

This is the safest mech build for the mid-map position, providing strong early defense and smooth transition into a powerful mech army.

• 8 — Barracks

• 9 — Supply Depot

• 10 — Refinery (Gas)

• 12 — Supply Depot

  • @100% Barracks: Queue up 3 Marines for early defense.

 

• @ First 100 Gas — Build Factory

  • If position is bad (e.g., teammates are far away or you're more than one position away): After the 1st Factory, build a Bunker for extra defense.

 

• @100 Gas — Continue adding more Factories as resources allow.

• @100% Factory — Train 1 Vulture, then build a Machine Shop (Factory Add-on).

• @100% Machine Shop — Research Mines if facing Protoss (PXX). Against heavy Terran (TTX), prioritize Vulture Speed instead.

• @100% Mines or Vulture Speed — Begin researching Siege Mode.

• 4:00 Minutes — Build an Engineering Bay (Essential for defending against potential 5:30 Reaver or Dark Templar attacks).

Tips for Success:

• Active Vultures: Your Vultures must be constantly applying pressure. They should:

  • Lower the enemy Marine count.
  • Push back Zealots.
  • Snipe enemy workers (Probes, SCVs, and Drones).

 

• Mine the Choke: Once Mine research completes, immediately mine the Protoss choke point. If you manage to push your Vultures inside their base, mine near their Gateways to disrupt production until Siege Mode is ready.
