Your favourite race from starcraft 1

I first really lived the protoss and really got to use them well, but later I started using the terran a lot and became better at using them. And these days I'll use those two about 50% of the time each. I rarely if ever use the zerg at all. Apart from the missions. I'm really not good at using them.

But I'd have to say my favourite would have to be the protoss just over the terran. Just cause I'm so much better at utilising a few powerful units over a weak swarm. Also I liked the fact a protoss building builds itself and the worker then after the initial warp in can be used for something else. That to me was the clincher.

 

im a 70% zerg player 30% protoss

i like the zerg mechanics

1 the sunkens have 300 health and a 40 attack - its hard to kill em and i mass them in groups of 7

2 ZERGLINGS! i love zerglings! they are sooo cheap but its hard to beat a zergling when you want to kill buildings quickly

3 hydras - in my opinion (and probably yours) the most versatile unit in starcraft they can wipe out any army because of their continently high attack to cost ratio

4 building units - the building units in groups of three is one of the most helpful points of the zerg - no one can repel an attack quite like the zerg (assuming your have enough resources)

5 cool units - they look cool! the hydra runs in the funniest way! it kinda looks like a worm with a head

6 the ultra - one of the best units to do a drop with! one you drop them they are hard to kill and deal a lot of damage fast (works very well with 8 overlords^^)

7 gaurdians - 5 can kill a computers base with ease and without worry

8 scourges - carrier has not arrived

9 mutas - when in doubt grab a handful of mutas and hydras

10 every building has an upgrade or 3 (except the sunken / spore / creep colonies)

thats why ill give the zerg a owerup:

 

I loved protoss since I begun playing Starcraft. They perfectly fit my style, though sometimes I play Terran and Zerg too. As another reason, they are very efficient at building buildings, and I have always liked to bring down carriers, hence my avatar being a carrier's wireframe

 

I like the Terrans. Many different ways to take on a situation, and versatile. plus, they have the best defence in the game. Nothing is more satisfying than watching an opponent suicide his entire army trying to charge your 12 Siege Tanks and 2 Bunkers.

 

Protoss and then terrans. zerg r boring...

 

It was the terran. I learnt to manage the hotkeys fast enough to win my matches

 

Terrans for me, great versitility and a hint of strategy twisting allowed me to take out many an opponent. Just took me a while to read the tides of battle.

 

I play as "random" most of the time. When it comes down to it, though, Terran is my favorite, mostly because of the power of a good tank push, and because I know how to somewhat effectively use all the units. I still don't do well with Zerg or Protoss high tech units, such as Arbiters or Defilers. I like all three races, though.

 

I prefer Terran.Bcoz they're balanced unlike Protoss who is strong but few and the converse which is true for zerg.^^

 

I like the zerg and toss, I don't care too much for the terrans. For the zerg, I love to mass defilers/hydra to attack and defilers/lurkers for base ground defence with spore colonies for air defence and detection.

For toss, either carrier/observer or zealot/reaver are my favorite strategies.

 

@DTLOL
an i love useing 3-4 gaurddians destroying your 12 siege tanks and 2 bunkers

 

Protoss because they just distroy and can tech really fast~

 

I don't like the zerg because of the tech tree - almost every building being a boring unlocking building.
I find terran annoying - mines, tanks, ghosts.
So I like protoss most. But I don't like their carriers, as they just make a visual mess.

Oh, and I much prefer the original to broodwar.

 

Terrans, all the way. From a writing standpoint, it's easier to show different personalities among human characters. A Protoss character is usually going to be just another Protoss character... how different are Artanis, Zeratul, fenix and Aldaris really? They all have the same proud-Protoss-warrior-avenge-the-homeworld monologue going. Even Tassadar is pretty similar, and Raszagal only seems different because she's female. The Zerg are even worse, since most of them don't even have distinct personalities... Zasz and Daggoth are pretty similar characters to the Overmind, and Kerrigan only gets her personality because she's part human.

Human characters on the other hand tend to feel more unique. Jim Raynor is a radically different character from Arcturus Mengsk, who is a radically different character from Alexei Stukov, who is a radically different character from Samir Duran. For this reason I always enjoyed playing as the Terran factions more because they felt more flavorful.

The whole StarCraft aesthetic, ultimately, is about human settlers fighting to survive on distant planets where they are outgunned, encumbered by darkness and surrounded by hostile aliens... that's why it feels so similar to other stories like Firefly, Pitch Black and Alien. StarCraft lets you play as the other races, sure, but it's always felt to me like it was a story about humans that have encounters with aliens, not the other way around.
