    My favourite? They all are! I haven't got to Protoss yet this time round, so I can't remember exactly what they are like. Dark templars are great, you can't see them and only they can kill cerebrates. Archons look so cool and do splash damage. Carriers... do I need to explain? I would have also put dark archons for the power to have 600 units, but you can only choose 3. If I was a unit in StarCraft I would be a Zealot though, for they are the blades of Aiur!

    Oh yea I'm still wondering about Feedback... what the hell is it? Hmm I should read up above here... will do after posting... EDIT: ahh... so what exactly does it do, does it make the spells they cast hurt the casters themselves? Never understood it... never did... and Maelstrom, same thing - it paralyzes non-mechanic units huh? Ahaahhh....

    I voted Dragoon, Archon and Carrier... I just like the way Dragoons and Archons look and attack, and I love the Archon's high shield points, and I love the Carrier for obvious reasons...

    Besides, talk about Zealots and Acolytes, but Dragoons want to keep going even AFTER giving their life a first time! Beat that!

    I love the Probe most though! That wasn't in there! It's so cute with it's "meow"-like sounds!

    Feedback does damage depending on amount of energy the enemy has!
    I think... that or I am getting it mixed up with mana burn from warcraft 3. I play dota too much :p

    What Feedback does is that it drains all of the enemy's energy, and whatever amount of energy drained will be equal the amount of damage to the enemy's HP.
    So a Battlecruiser has 250 energy. A feedback means it's energy will be zero, and the HP will go from 500 to 250.
    It can only be used on spell casters, but it can be DEADLY when properly used.

    and yeah maelstorm....all organic units will be stunned (aka locked down) for a period of time. Its very useful against the Zerg.
    Hope that answer your question :)

    Yeah it does... I've seen Maelstorm lately, and I remember having seen it before but not knowing what it was at the time... xD I guess I never learned what it did cause whenever I do play Protoss, and get the Dark Archon, I might try these on some units, but probably never Maelstorm on organic ones or Feedback on psy ones...

    Don't ya hate when your group of archon's get's EMP'd by those lame as science vessels? Grrr Nothing worse. Except locked down reavers. Or carriers. Terrans are so annoying. But yeah, fave toss units gotta be (in this order) Carrier, Dark Templar, Zealot. Although I do love the way the cryogenic goo spills out of dead goons, and that noise they make as they die...close 4th.

    Carriers, the carnage you can cause with those things is INSANE.

    woaa this time it could be confusing.. but i'm getting used to ur style..

    I voted for what I mainly use when I play melee.. (urghh when I used to play starcraft.. I mean)

    So i voted for:

    Dragoon: woaa a moving photon cannon with upgradable damage, range, armor!

    Reaver: Shuttle + Reaver

    Corsair: Overlord killer and against the protoss, when teamed with an observer.. it's great to kill all these observers spying all around the map..

    my other choices would be DT and obs.. I my stuff cloaked 100% of the time.

    Cosairs are horrible at killing overlords and most air units in general, the scouts are much better.

    Scouts are excellent if the enemy has lots of air units, or if they don't have anything that can attack air. Otherwise their 8+3 ground attack is a bit short, even weaker than mutalisks.

    Oh yeah the arbitor is GREAT for recalling, I played today and I had 6 arbitors :p I put 3 in my base and 3 to send out with my fleet. When my carriers get quite damaged I recall them back to my base for a quite shield recharge, then quickly recall them back into the battlefield. It always works!!

    Dark Templar. Why? Because the DT rush is deadly to a non-zerg player without detectors.
