I've been experimenting a little in vs AI but i'm afraid that what i'm doing right now will be susceptible to a rush in multiplayer. Do you guys have any build orders you use or know of that have a good balance of economy development and early defense?
A popular general build is the 3 Barracks build, although I usually only use this when I'm against Protoss and it depends on the map as well.
