Protoss for the aircraft set of unity, and for super Dark Templars!

I preffered Terran because it seemed to me that they were the most balanced between being fast or slow (Zerg/Protoss) and also had a lot of tricks up their sleeves with Science Vessels and Ghosts. And Siege Tanks were just awesome.

They're all pretty balanced, but if you are asking for my favourite, it'd have to be zerg. Hydra rush fits with my simple minded strategy, go with the mass!

The races are balanced well, but I think there are some advantages offered to one race over the other. For example, EMP cuts more than half of Protoss hp away but does zip to Zerg. Likewise, Plague is absolutely murder to the Terrans, but isn't that effective against the Protoss. Finally, Psionic Storm mows down zerg units, while being not as effective against Terran units. I prefer Protoss myself, but I think the balance is Terran beats Protoss beats Zerg beats Terran.

All the races are well balanced when it comes to speed, power and defence. While there is no ' Best Race', each race is, however, better at certain maps and scenarios. The Terran are very versatile and can settle very quickly into almost an area. They have the perfect balance of speed, power and defence. The Zerg are much easier to use, having only 3/4 of the number of buildings as the Protoss. This means they have acess to their full tech-tree extremely quickly. While they have a lot of speed, they lose in power and defence. Their defence is offset by the amount of defensive buildings they have. Having a whole base guided by Sunken and Spore colonies is extremely expensive and most units have very little HP. They make up for this in build speed. They can easily raise a large army in time to stop an incoming force, although most of the time, if they're up against a large force, they'll sustain large casualties. The Protoss are the exact opposite. They have the largest amount of buildings of any race. This means they must commit a lot of time and resources before their whole tech-tree is available. They make up for this in pure power. One Zealot can easily take on up to 4 zerglings, and with the right micro-management, even a small force of Zealots and Dragoons can cause heavy damage. Their defence is both high and low, compared to the circumstance. If the enemy has access to Science Vessels, even the largest of Protoss forces can easily be wiped out. Although, if the enemy doesn't have Science vessels, the shields can sway the tide of battle quite a lot. It all depeneds on what type of player you are.

I love Terran for ghosts and nukes, they're a fun class to play. I love Zerg too; Queen's are bad donkey, and Mutalisk/Devourer/Guardian combo is pwnage. However, I've found an a strategy for Protoss that will let me win against you if you're anything but Protoss. If you're Terran or Zerg, you won't win, unless you're a God at micro management with Terran. With Protoss, I make Templars, lots and lots and lots of Templars. Then, I wait, while I wait I build up all of my upgrades. When you attack, I kill everything you send to me with psionic storm. After that I turn most of my Templars into Archons and send a few Arbiters (clone using the templars) to your base, transport all of my Archons into your base and you die.

I am definitely most comfortable with Protoss, and you can't beat Dark Templar rushing ... =).

heres my opinion,protoss is for beginners becuz of there strength and they have no stratgey to them,terran is for decent players becuz they have some aspects that u need stratgey forzerg is for advanced players becuz they may have the cheapest units but they die fast, this inturn requires micro organization, which is MASSIVE stratgey. altho all races can micro zerg needs it the most.

I'd have to say that Protoss is an attractive race for beginning players because of the summoning of buildings as opposed to building them. Terran is more for average players since the SCV must build the structure. Zerg is for more advanced players because the drone must evolve into the structure effectively reducing the number of your gatherers by 1. This is only true as far as openings go. Once you learn how to build up fast at the beginning then the idea of easiest and hardest races and certain races being for certain skill levels no longer exists. Then it becomes a matter of understanding what units to use in combinations and what how to counter the units that your opponent is using. Thus, there really is no best race.I like playing zerg and playing more defensively to start and getting mutas as soon as possible and then taking out my opponents resources by killing their gatherers.

I gotta give it up for the Zerg. I think for the sound effects more than anything. Those gooing, snapping, belching, mutation sounds were fantastic.

Zerg. It's so fun to see completely upgraded Zerglings rush in, overload your enemy and practically rip everything in their sight to shreds. Watch out for your Hatchery/Lair/Hive though -- production is toast once that structure is down.

I'm gonna have to say protoss because of the easy building. You can build a Gateway and go back to harvesting crystals or gas right away and also their shields which can be regenerated, if played right they'd take longer to kill.
