If you have made a purchase of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty and you are in doubt about which race is the correct one for you, then this article will provide you with some info that may help you in deciding.
Zerg
Because of their ability to manufacture units rather quickly, this race has a number of benefits. It is a perfect example of the saying “strength in numbers.”
One unique aspect of the Zergs is how they produce their units and structures from Larva that comes from the Hatchery.
Although the Zerg race is not a very strong one with it’s low hit points and weak attacks opposed to other races, it has a huge advantage from battling in hordes.
Protoss Race
The Protoss race is the exact opposite of the Zerg. It’s crippling factor is that it has a slow creation, but it is one of the most dynamic and it can last longer than any other race. It is equipped with more damage points, shields and more HP. Therefore, a solo unit can take on a few Zerglings fairly easily.
Another disadvantage is that making buildings takes twice as long. However, the benefit is that these buildings are able to withstand against heavy fire. You can look at it like this: Protoss specializes in “quality over quantity”, while Zerg opt for “quantity over quality.”
Using a Probe to warp in buildings can make development of buildings rather quick. And if you have the resources in place, you can construct several structures at the same time. Pylons are created to build an energy field in which all the buildings are to be built inside, the destruction of a Pylon will result in the buildings inside of that energy field becoming unpowered and consequently can not be used.
Terrans
This is great race which you can use in order to get accustomed to the game. They really have no distinct disadvantage or advantage over the other races when first starting out, but further into the game as you reach high levels you will find that they can be quite diverse. And it’s really simple to set up units and buildings.
A neat defensive advantage that Terran players can take advantage of is that they can move their buildings if under invasion. This is also a great way to manage your base.
One disadvantage is the fact that the main defensive structures or the bunkers depend upon units to be within them in order to work. But overall the Terrans can be a formidable race to play with.
