The ComSat Station is a must have for the early game. It only costs 50 minerals and gas and it can be extremely useful. |
|
||||||||
|
The Nuclear Silo can be useful, but most of the time you are better off with a Com-Sat. Nukes are only possible in the late game. And by the late game, it usually doesn't matter too much if you get nuked unless you are getting beat anyway. And to nuke a person is extremely difficult compared to nuking a human opponent. While the computer doesn't do anything to try and find your ghost, a human player is frantically searching everywhere, and usually will find it. |

|
The Supply Depot is required to build up your forces. They have a tendancy to be a pain since you must have many of these by late game, and many supply depots tend to take up most of the space in your base. That is the main reason why the Terran "turtle" so easily. |
|

|
The Refinery is the gas mining building for the Terran. You must build one of these on top of a gas deposit before you can mine from it. |
|
||||||||
|
The Barracks is where you train all of your early troops. It is also the base of the Tech Tree that builds up to all the other important buildings. It would be wise to build at least 2 of these unless you are going for a fast buildup. |
|
||||||||
|
The Engineering Bay is where you upgrade all your ground infantry stats. It isn't really very vital to the terran force except if you need Missle Turrets, which you probably will, so it would be a good idea to build one of these. |
|
||||||||
|
The Bunker is the Base of the Terrand defense. These are one of the best anti rush buildings there are if you have at least 4 of them. Offensive Bunkering is possible, but not very effective. |
|
||||||||
|
The Acadamy used to only be necessary for ComSat stations. But now with Medics, the Acadamy has become a much more popular building. |
|

|
The Missle Turret is the anti air building for the Terran. Although its attack looks puny, enough of these are enough to repel enemy attack. They also serve as detectors. |
When you set a rally point, all
units that are built at the building will automatically move
to the location you chose when they are built.
The Comsat Station
is an addon to the Command Center.
The Nuclear Silo
is an addon to the Command Center.
Many Terran buildings
have the ability to lift off and fly to a new location. While
it is flying, it is extremely slow moving and very vulnurable
to attack.
The
Scanner Sweep allows you to see any spot on the map fully revealed
for about 10 seconds. It costs 50 energy to cast. Its good for
early game and if you need to detect something quickly and easily.
Once you have a
completed Nuclear Silo, you can train up to one nuke at a time
there. Then after your Ghost launches the nuke, you can build
another one.
This
upgrades the attack power of the Marine, Firebat, and Ghost.
This upgrades the
armor rating of the SCV, Marine, Firebat, Ghost, and Medic.
The Bunker can hold up to 4 infantry
units. While they are in the Bunker, they can shoot out at targets,
but cannot be damaged until the Bunker is destroyed.
U-238 Shells increases
the range of the Marine's attack.
Stim Pack is researched
at the Acadamy for use by your Marines and Firebats.
Restoration is
researched at the Acadamy for use by your Medics.
Optic Flare is
researched at the Acadamy for use by your Medics.
Caduceus Rector
increases the maximum energy of the Medic to 250.
