Favorite Starcraft Race

[Viking67]

Answers & reasons.

V67

[Patrocles]

Terrans! For the seige tanks, battlecruisers grouped with Science vessels, and the ability to repair their gear (when the gameplay isn't too frantic! ha ha)

First of all, Viking nicely done on the starcraft thread. And i picked protoss because of there sheer power. But photon cannons, there scouts, and the carriers. 12 carriers, escorted along with 12 scouts, and a couple arbiters along with a ground force of zealots and dragoons kick ass.
Then Terran because of there awesome defence capabilities. A row of bunkers with a bunch of seige tanks behind them. No ground units can get throuhg that. And the missle turrets are nice.

I chose Terrans, with Protoss at an EXTREMLY close second. I know the Zerg are good, but I'm no good at them and they have a weak air force, althogh the gardians can wreak havoc.

The player who uses the guradian is the most hated player around. but each race has there own unit like that. Terrans have ghosts, and seige tanks, the protoss have the arbiters and the sythe guys, and the zerg have the guardians and lerkers.

I don't do rushes, so no zerg for me.

I don't really like to play zerg when facing the computer. There always the best to use when your playing a human opponent because you can burrow and use guerilla combat to your advantage. I did that to my friend on the 64 version last night and I beat him harshly. Sure, I used Ultralisks alot to crash through his defence but it was hard for him to advance when you have zerglings and hydralisks poppping up all over the place.

im a zerg fan myself zergling be my favorite unit of all just get some ovies and a few hateries and u cane kick ass since u get 2 in an egg





ps nice picture Patrocles
i saw them in concert it was so awsome

[PvtJohnson]

Protoss is the best though. Reavers and Carriers are powerhouses along with zealots. It's insane how muhc damage they can do.

i agree but it so expensive. but once u get it going protoss is great, zerg is just the oppisite there strong at first but start to lose there supremacy as the game goes on, its all a matter or timing

[PvtJohnson]

Very true. The protoss are lucky to get off the ground in the beggining because of zergling rushes or marines. But once they do there basicly unstopable until they run out of minerals. The zerg on the other hand are great in the land war, but when air comes in there basicly done for. The zergs biggest unit is the ultralisk and it is very limited to how man you can buld at a time because they are so costly and they don't last that long. The best investment for the zerg are probibly the scourges. They can take out a drop ship for 100 minerals. A pretty good deal when its full of men. But the terran nuke beats all. Sure its cheap as hell, but if you need to clear a hole through thr defences before and attack it's the best strategy to use.

on $$$ maps protoss are fine, but when resources are limited get 'er done with zerg.

i agree the nuke is good but it not great. zerg r weak vs the nuke but there supply unit is a detector so it is easy to kill the ghost before the nuke hits. the best race to nuke is terren not many detectors.

I also like picking off the overlords with a couple of wraiths. It pisses off the zerg players and keeps them from producing units faster.
