Review

According to CGW(Computer Gaming World), Starcraft is the 2nd game of all times. This game is just the perfect game you can ever get. It doesn't require a very advanced computer. The most often compliant is that Bnet is too slow and I agree with that but that doesn't stop Alex and I from playing on it. This is just the game you have to play. Its about $30 Canadian right now and is well worth you money.

Basic Stratagy

Starcraft has only 2 resources. For every race, you should try to get base defence before you go for gas. In Starcraft, reacon is everything. Make sure you know the area of the map. Also, have lots of detectors in you base. That is easy for the the Zergs because of Overlords. For Protoss, build 1 photon cannon beside each plylon and nexes. For Terran, just make is so that you can always see 4 turrents in you base and build comsat. The next thing, never ever, under any circumstances, go defensive. Don't let you troops sit around and do nothing. The only time they should be sitting around is when there is too few of them to do more damage then their costs.

Terran Stratagy

Ah, Terran, my favorite race. Terran have very good flexibility and good reacon and cloaking. A lot of people go for 12 battlecruisers and attack but ghosts , queens and defilers and High Templars can easily bring this team of behemoth down. So have Science Vessals ready to irradiate and fire emp shockwave. If possible, use a combined air and ground assualt along with seige tanks/infantry. And bunkers.. USE THEM.

Joy of Terran: Vultures, Ghost
Mucho Money Unit: Golaith, Battlecruiser
Good Spells: Scanner Sweep, Seige Mode

Zerg Stratagy

Zergs are known for quick and cheaps units. They are the fastest rushers. Most people under estimate the costs of Zerg buildings expecailly Hatcheries. When consructing a building, BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE DRONE IN THE COST PRODUCTION. For hatcheries, add an overlord too becuase Hatcheries provides only 1 unit space. This sums up to 450 minerals!!! Zerg encourages you to build a combined army becuase Guardians can't hit air. When you are going on a attack you can't win, bring a queen along and parasect you unit and pull out. Try to parasect transports too. On land base maps, construct zerglings throughout the game. Zerglings are good to seperate armies and attack reacon squads. Another use for zergling is ammo crates.Stuff 6 zerglings by enemy base. Then, have defiler use multiple plagues by comsuming zerglings.

Joy of Zerg: Hydralisk, Guardians
Mucho Money Unit: Hydralisk, Mutalisk
Good Spells: Parasite, Spawn Broodling

Protoss Sratagy

Protoss really doesn't encourage building a combined army. Too many times have I seen people build up a fleet of 12 carriers and attack. This stratagy is very effective against new players but on and ladder player, it is useless. Like the battlecruiser, science vessals, ghost, queens, defilers, scourges, and high templars can bring this group of beasts. The next stage of stratagy is to add an arbitor, but the same stratagy can also bring it down. An alternitive stratagy is to use archons, but beware of emp shockwave, those things kill archons. When attacking, have a combined army. Scouts and Archons to fight the scourges, zealots for front line assualts. or have a few arbitor with a few scouts and recall a whole army right into you enemy's back yard. Also, when on the defensive, BE SURE TO USE SHEILD BATTERY RECHARGE, THOSE THINGS CAN SAVE LIVES!!!

Joy of Protoss: Dragoon, Scouts
Mucho Money Unit: Dragoon, Carrier
Good Spells: Psi Storm, Recall
