    I'm sorry freedom23 but that iron man and wolverine comparison is really bad because it makes no sense besides aesthetics. I mean the Protoss use tons of cybernetics and powersuits too.

    I think the Terran are more likely to destroy themselves than the Protoss, the Protoss are not a dying race because of themselves and their society with help of the psiconic link has brought their race togheter for the most part besides some small differences unlike the Terran that are many many different factions that kill each other all the time.

    pancakechief is write freedom23 the terrans weapons can backfire and destroy them all but the protoss are much further in there technological advances so theirs much less of a chance that their weapons will destroy them

    Yeah, my bad, I forgot to add It was just a joke skit. Poor comparisons though I have to agree with that. (couldnt think of someone with claws and techno-armor but I considered adamantium his techno edge)

    Prince Nuala:Silence! You Empyty Hollow Fiends!

    - This line in that movie really hit the spot on humans greed for everything. It's very typical for us, to consume something we need and once that resource is gone we relocate and consume again. That's instinctively very human unfortunately. Terrans will more likely die because of that hunger. On that sense humans are much powerful than protoss.

    On topic, I think somehow terran and protoss techology isn't comparable primarily due to age, If us terrans are living for as long as the protoss had been then I think there is a possibility for us to catch up with their advancement given that humans are that greedy for knowledge w/c we really are... If we are to compare them maybe we should change it to the progress of protoss during X time vs terrans techno at the same age. Otherwise nothing changes the fact that protoss is very very far on all aspects (despite reproductive haha)

    pancake you cant deny what i said because its the truth if you dont like than go crawl under a reaver for the rest of the day then call in a carrier to get you out of here

    For a cannon fodder youre really starting to get on me nerves, nice try though lol. Welcome to star crap. In case you didn't know not all people tend to do things like you do. Luckyly I'm one of em' ^_^ Be cheesy as it is, thats just imo.

    Btw you forgot to talk about your response to the thread. Your previous post doesnt tackle on technological difference or advancement of protoss against terran at all.

    i know but i have to say that the protoss will always be more advanced than the terrans in all possible ways especially in the field of technology

    Freedom the protoss will always be better than the zerg so stop crying over spilt milk and let the world continue going forward in the ways of technology

    I have no opinion on this question but they are advanced according to me. Yes, I answer to this question by the way. You see their technological progress and their powers. They overwhelm the Terrans.

    The basis of this game is to show a war between humans against high level aliens and low level aliens, the Protoss and the Zerg.

    They're both more advanced and different, but I voted for advanced. The Protoss climbed out of a stone age level from 500 BC, and they already had colossus tech during 1500 AD, while humans were still in the middle ages. Just because Xel'Naga left them some tech doesn't really mean anything - they don't automatically get all that knowledge - they still had to figure out chemistry and physics all by themselves before the xel'naga tech became useful. If you give a person from the middle ages a car for example, I can guarantee you he will not be able to reverse engineer it, much less figure out that it uses gasoline as a power source, or how you can even drive it.

    Protoss tech is also different in that it is does not intrude on nature and is "environmentally friendly". Instead of burning oil and powering through vast amounts of resources and metal, like the terrans do, the Protoss simply use the energies of the universe to power their weaponry. The Protoss were appalled at the the Terrans' reckless expansionism and how they drained world after world of resources. I bet if the Protoss adopted this sort of mentality they would be absolutely unstoppable - but they're too awesome & honorable to do that.

    I remember the storyline of the Starcraft manual about the Protoss. When the Xel'Naga left Aiur there were wars between the Protoss brothers. Then Adun came and the Dark Templars left Aiur.

    A moment it was written that the Protoss observed the arrival of the Terran in the Koprulu sector. Their expansion. And the Protoss themselves were surprised to notice how the Terran wasted all the resources they met in their way. And the wars they did against each others.

    +1 guys,

    Protoss are definitely more advanced than any other races.... but they are different in that they evolved so much before the Terrans came into the Industrial Revolution.

    Also, it does seem like their technology barely gets old-fashioned. The colossus for example has been used for more than a Millenium if I remember well (but even if this is about centuries, this is quite impressive compared to Terrans who change technologies so often).

    They have high tech and durable technology (does not change much over the years) maybe because unlike Terrans, they dont waste rare resource? The Void is an infinite source lore wise, I think.

    Compared to Zergs, they dont absorb and infest other races (therefore eliminating species), in the books, they tend to protect all the other races from the Zerg infestation. once, they had to incinerate a Terran planet already infested by the Zergs, but It seemed they had no other choice.

    I would put it this way:
    Protoss = advanced technology and durable, theoretically infintie source of "energy".
    terran = Waste lots of resources, but still deadly technology, even though not the most "advanced
    Zergs = evolve by absorbing and eliminating other species

    However, being the most advanced doesnt mean the protoss always have the deadliest weaponry (1 by 1, they SC1 units are unequaled - though this has changed a lot in SC2).

    It should be obvious to anyone with common sense that the Protoss are more technologically advanced. This is explained by Blizzard and in the story itself.

    I've said this time and time again, the amount of parts something has, or the fact Terran have nukes does NOT make them just as advanced or just different than the Protoss, even if they are made to perform the same tasks. It is the quality, performance and abilities that determine how advanced something is.

    The Protoss are superior in A.I., metallurgy, energy, space travel, psionics, mechanics, engineering etc.

    Nuclear energy only emits so much energy and in our modern science in reality it is a lot to us right now, but to achieve things the Protoss are able to do such as their warp/teleport and level of psionic abilities, would be literally thousands and thousands of times more energy than any nuke, it would take almost as much power as a star for warp technology if not more.

    The protoss are very efficient as well with their energy and resources, there is almost nothing wasted and they draw their energy from energy/psionic fields themselves which would give them an almost limitless supply, zero point energy if you will.

    They also can manipulate gravity and use anti-gravity technology for propulsion etc.

    Not to mention Terran examine Protoss technolgy they are able to acquire themselves to advance their own technology.
