Poll: Protoss, Terran or Zerg?

[Flying-Emu]

Zerg because you can technically have over two hundred units without cheating, and you can have your eggs ready to hatch as reinforcements. The Terran are the worst units in the history of RTS's and the only strategy I ever use with the Protoss is: build a bunch of carriers, build a bunch of interceptors, attack enemies, which gets boring even though it always works. The Zerg offer many different strategies, most of which work out.

Easily countered with .5 Defiler/Carrier and by always having a nice satchel of Scourge behind the front lines (which you should ALWAYS have in case of Capital Ships entering the fray.)

I hate how people think that Carriers are the greatest thing ever... they're so easily destroyed as long as you know the basics of microing...

With the Terran, all you need is a Science Vessel with EMP Shockwave and a squad of Wraiths trained on the Carrier; Bam, you just wiped out half a squad of Carriers for half the price of what your foe paid.

Anyone wantin' to play a game? I'm itchin' to get back in.

Goliaths are badass, and yet, zerglings rape them. Therefore, Zerg rule.

It's a bit hard to play when the game won't run on anything but my dad's old testing machine. I'll be game for Starcraft 2 though.

Are you running in Compatibility Mode for W98 or WXP?

 

[Kurokami]

why so many Terrans? I find it strange people would go out of their way to get game that isn't limited to earth and choose to be human, lol

I've tried every setting possible for XP, the fault is my shiny new video card. Nvidia just doesn't like the old stuff. The game runs, I just can't see anything.

Terran! Rawrr, machine guns and sexy medics!

The smexy medics are getting taken out from Starcraft II

I usually play as Terran or Protoss. Although I am better at Zerg but I don't have much experience with Zerg, but I like some of thier units (For example, that thing that evolves from a hydralisk, you know. Attacks when burrowed?). The main reason I don't play Zerg is because I find them sought of... creepy (Pun not intended)

you know what would be better then a starcraft game...a starcraft movie just thing about it for a a while it would have an awesome plot and stuff...

My idea of a StarCraft movie would be about these guys playing in a StarCraft tournoment, and in the end the scrub member of the team builds a proxy (That is, a pylon used out side of the contructer's base used for telerportation) and warps in a massive army... So yeah, it sounded better in my head. After the tourney the cast go to Seoul, and in the sequel they get captured by the North Korean Goverment and made to play for thier lives in the brake of another civil war between North and South Korea, and during the match, north Korea nukes south out side of the game. The only reason north managed to nuke south was because the south's Air Force were the ones fighting the main cast.

I just relised something. What I just said about my idea of a StarCraft movie was poorly punctuated. Can someone please try and make another detailed post to describe what ever I just said?

Protoss.



Must build additional Pylons...

The cannons are the best.

Not when you have to build additional pylons.

Well yes, pylons are necessary, but cannons are still the best defense, and make the Protoss worth playing.

Agreed.

What you just said was completely fictional.
Valkaries are a much better counter to Carriers than Wraiths.

MY LIFR FOR AIUR.

That's protoss.

 

[Steel Ronin]

zerg ftw

 

[Meemaimoh]

Either Zerg or Protoss. I never could decide.

I always find humans so boring. :/

Valkyrie are those irritating missile salvo things right? Yeah. I don't play Terran too often in Brood War, so I kinda forgot about those.

But the EMP Shockwave point stands.

 

[The Shrubbery Demander]

I myself like Protoss the best, because they have some of the coolest units. But what do I know, it's been several years since I last played StarCraft.

 

[Diablini]

Totally Zerg. I love it when there is a race that is not politicly stuck up it's own ass. The Terrans have so many sides and are hostile agaist each other and the Prottos have ethical problems with almost everything. The Zerg however are the purest race and usualy stand united. The also have Zerglings!

 

[stabnex]

Protoss; takes a lil longer to get going, but nearly invincible with patrolling scouts and an impenetrable wall of cannons. Once you get that set up, all the time in the world is yours.

Also I will not pay ActiBlizz a penny for SC2 until they put Lan back.

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

En Taro Adun!

 

[fanklok]

FOR ADUN

Real Men control real men. Terrans.

The Protoss are pretentious space elves, and the Zerg rush pisses me off enough that I'm writing a criticism of the rush in the RTS genre.

if you hate ling rushes then you'd really hate one of my zealot rushes (though i havent played in a ling time)

 

[undeadfly]

Zerg.
Nothing quite like making 12 hatcheries and wave spawning 72 zerglings at a time and sending them in the general direction of the enemy. They do have weaknesses and all. but they also have a balance to every other unit out there.

 

[Asickorphan]

Woot go terran! I love the siege tanks in siege mode line like 10 of them up your invulnerable to ground forces, and a set of nukes your good to go

 

[Sonicron]

Adun Toridas!

Dark Templar FTW.

"You can no more evade my wrath than you could your own shadow."

 

[Asickorphan]

The ultimate bunker to me is 1 ghost,1 firebat,2 marines next to 2 turrets

 

[fanklok]

Woot go terran! I love the siege tanks in siege mode line like 10 of them up your invulnerable to ground forces, and a set of nukes your good to go

if by invulnerable you mean against a low unit count then yes, but it takes alot more tanks to survive against a rush that late in the game, just macro a couple squads of zlots and have goons folow them in and tanks be very dead, even enough hydras can take out tanks

 

[MadeinHell]

I'm having a hard time decide. On one side I like playing terrans (in single cause I suck at starcraft and get owned by anyone) cause they have multiple ways of solving troubles and marines are cool. But on the other side i just LOVE playing zerg. Cause they're just fun! I mean... seeing a huge army of zerglings supported by hydralisks and few ultralisks rushing towards a hopeless enemy base just makes you feel good (unless you are the ruler of that base).

So overall... I think I'm going to go zerg just cause they are so much fun to play. but terrans are just a bit behind them.

PS. PROTOS SUCK . (not really I just don't like playing them ;p)
