    Hello!

    First of all, sorry if theres already a thread like this one, I tried to search but couln't find anything.

    So, I've had the beta for like 3 days now and I'm having some trouble to counter toss robotics tec. When I know that the player will go robotics I try to get some marauder for their main army and vikings for colossus.I also use tanks for defending. When our armys clash (often at my base since I suck at expanding fast) I just get smashed... I focus my vikings on the colossus and such, but my marauder's get owned by immortals and stalkers. One thing I have not been making are ghosts, and I guess there's where I flaw?

    Anyway, if anyone of you feel like helping a total newb feel free to post some suggestions, thanks :)

    have u upgrade Stimpack? and do u have enough medivac?

    to survive the first wave of robotics u dont really need vikings, 2+ medivac are much helpful
    when u have around 4 medivac, u can start build vikings but only if u got extra money from massive marauders

    also u cant just build ur own army and let the opponent doing the same thing, use ur medivac and viking to constantly looking for and atk their expansions

    Marines with only a few marauders is an excellent counter to stalkers and immortals when you get stim and medivac support. Don't be afraid to focus fire as well since your armies DPS will be dropping steadily so you'll need to take out units and not just wear down all of their shields. Speaking of which yes you should also invest in at least one ghost but medivacs and stim is alot more important.

    Getting out-expoed is a death sentence.
    You will, if you do not press enough and have fewer expos, get owned due to numbers.
    He will have a bigger army, and warpgates make it so easy to replenish your army and build AA counters.
    Press, press and press. If he have one expo, while you have none, his army size will be about 30% larger.
    Early reaper haress with a marauder follow up attack with concussive shells should be a good strat against protoss.

    Ps, Ghosts are good against Protoss in general, and Immortals special.

    Pps, (I play mainly Protoss, so i know that strat is strong)

    Well there's also the obvious counter: banshees.

    Marauders Marines and Medivacs, best counter, make sure everything is upgraded and your attack/def as well. Should be cake

    You definitely need ghosts! You seem to have the right idea though. Attack Colossi with your Vikings. Like RushSecond said, Banshees can be a huge help. Right as you enter a battle Scanner Sweep his army and snipe the Observer then send your Banshees in.
