I like zerg the best... you don't gotta build supply depots or pylons for extra storage which take up space... and you can produce like 12 at a time... That way... you get the most out of your army. And zerg is self building also.... you just gotta have plenty of em. Protoss takes way to long... like... you actually gotta wait for the pylon to finish building before you can build in that area.... which takes too long. Terran is good... but I like zerg the most

Protoss, because you can build an entire base quickly with just one Probe, and the Carriers ROCK!

well,Protoss are very strong in combat but very expensive to build, Zerg low units are weak and cheap, Terrans are strong in defense and in attack if well used (like Humans in Warcraft). The best are Protoss; they can smash the enemy with few well placed units

One word, 'Weak'.Two words "Zerg" and "Rush"
Why?i prefer Protoss..did you hear SC2 was announced?
What the heck are you on about?protoss is the best race because you can heal urself with the fountain of magic or something like that,
What? Have you actually played the game before? Zerg need Overlord for 'Control' and overlords are more expensive than Pylons, which also serve another function besides providing Psy. I don't know where you got the whole "you can produce like 12 at a time" stuff from. Zerg is self building, yes. But if the building fails, you also lose a Drone which could've been very useful for resource gathering.I like zerg the best... you don't gotta build supply depots or pylons for extra storage which take up space... and you can produce like 12 at a time...

I guess you hate strength then.i use zerg. protoss is tooo expensive
Minerals and Wraiths.Protoss, because you can build an entire base quickly with just one Probe, and the Carriers ROCK!
And you can smash protoss with a Science Vessel and some marines.well,Protoss are very strong in combat but very expensive to build, Zerg low units are weak and cheap, Terrans are strong in defense and in attack if well used (like Humans in Warcraft). The best are Protoss; they can smash the enemy with few well placed units

Personally I like the zerg because of their quick atk/swarm speeds and it's just sweet to see your opponent getting owned by 100+ zerglings....LOL[What? Have you actually played the game before?

You can produce twelve units with 4 hatcheries vs. 12 specific atk unit creators (barracks, gateway, etc.).And what do you mean overlords cost more than pylons? They both cost 100 minerals each.....[What? Have you actually played the game before?

Terrans. I don't know, I prefer being human, and they're themes are really cool. Can't beat a fleet of Battleships with steroid'd Marines.Though I might switch to Protoss when SC2 comes out...*eyes Mothership*

Its been ages since I played SC...I can't remember which was my favourite...I didn't like the Protoss as I didn't like their expensiveness. I guess I'll pick Terrans for their versatility.

Expensive isn't the problem .. the Protoss's real problem is that her soldiers cost so much pop ... = = ... 2 pop for a Zealot ..

Protoss aren't defensive. If anything, they're overly offensive. Their main defensive structure is crap.i like Protoss because one, they look the coolest, two, they have an awesome honor based society, and three, theyre very defensive. perfect for my style
And I hate how you HAVE to swarm your enemy.The Zerg. I love the way you can mass your enemy with swarms of of your blood thirsty aliens.
Why?Well of course Protoss!
Why?The Protoss
I personally love the sound 100+ Zerglings make when they get owned by a few well placed Siege Cannons/Reavers.And? So what if you can make 12 units at a time? Sure, its fast, but the units made are weak and their abilities crap. The reason why they made the Hatchery like the way it is, is because Zerg units are weak and crap and the only way to balance this is to make them cheap and fast to build.Yes but Pylons serve another function. They allow buildings to be placed, much like the Zerg creep. But unlike the Overlord, the Pylon doesn't need any further upgrades or research to do it's function. The overlord is slow, short-sighted and useless without it's upgrades and these cost minerals and time.Personally I like the zerg because of their quick atk/swarm speeds and it's just sweet to see your opponent getting owned by 100+ zerglings....LOL[What?

But it's health is more than double that of 2 Marines or 4 Zerglings.Expensive isn't the problem .. the Protoss's real problem is that her soldiers cost so much pop ... = = ... 2 pop for a Zealot ..

Agreed. Protoss has the strongest units and the best technology. Terran's push mobility is hard to counter. Zerg's fast expansion and adaptive units shouldn't be written off, either.For me, Terran is best because it is extremely hard to counter a well-planned and -executed push.There is NO BEST RACE!!!Everyone plays with what they want and with what they're best with.Every race has pros and cons. The races are perfectly balanced.

Did you even read the post you quoted?If you have a well-planned and executed attack, you can win with any race.Agreed. Protoss has the strongest units and the best technology. Terran's push mobility is hard to counter. Zerg's fast expansion and adaptive units shouldn't be written off, either.For me, Terran is best because it is extremely hard to counter a well-planned and -executed push.
I'd like to see you get all 3 races when up against someone who has a brain.protoss, they have dark archons, so they can have the other two races by convertitng the builders
All the other races; because Scouts/Wraiths/Mutalisks (to an extent) rule.terran cos the seige tanks rule
Good defence? Yes. Effective defence? No. Terran defences suck. You need to commit a third of you supply just so you can have a good defence.I say Terran...good defense and strong units...
