Marodeur
Description
Produced from a Barracks with a Tech Lab, most of this unit’s attention will be against other armored units such as the Roach or the Stalker. Being almost the opposite of a Marine this unit is meaty and slow firing, and will take some attention during battles to make this unit target Armored units to do full damage. Supplementing this is the Marauder’s long range and heavy damage every individual shot. Their health and armor make them somewhat better of a meatshield than Marines as well.
Marauder’s Concussive Shells ability trap enemy units and stop priority targets from retreating without taking more damage, which works well with Stimpack’s effect.
Marauders are effective at the front of an engagement to take damage for Marines and then be healed by Medivacs; known collectively as MMM or Terran Bio (Barracks). It is not a massing unit like the Marine and Siege Tank, because it has a slight delay on its projectile attack (like the Stalker and Roach it counters) that takes a while to hit the opposing unit and can miss: usually from the opponent unit dying, Blink/Burrowing, etc. can dodge hits or overkill targets.

TERRAN
General Information
The Terrans can neither boast impressive technologies nor unbeatable masses, they seem to be the least dangerous race in the Starcraft universe. However, this is also their strength, often underestimated by the enemy, they can attack from ambush and thus take advantage of the surprise effect. The Terran forces are often formed from prisoners who want to shorten their sentence. These fighters, assigned to the infantry, are often poorly trained, but have an iron will to fight. Smaller war machines, such as the infamous tanks, are often used to support the foot troops.
The Terrans’ greatest enemy seems to be the Terrans themselves: Shattered by internal conflicts and wars, the Terrans have never been able to form a cohesive army to reach their full potential.
