Starcraft 2 Strategies
Despite its newness we can already see a number of Starcraft 2 gameplay strategy guides on the market. This includes Starcraft 2 strategy ranging from the very basic strategy of the beginner to the most advanced Starcraft 2 strategies that are employed by those who have mastered the game. Understandably most people who have been attracted to take a first look at the game will need to understand the concept and purpose of the game before they even discover how to use a worm to surprise the zerg basecamp
This first article of the series will briefly discuss basic Starcraft 2 build strategy.
Although there are still only three races in Starcraft 2 they have all been given new abilities and characters to face the more demanding challenges in this version of the game. I personally like the Terran race best as they require quick thinking and strategic thought well above the other races. The Zerg are the fastest moving so you need to have some units capable of slowing them down at times. And who could miss the Protoss the most dominant and powerful race.
The Zerg is actually the most populous race as they are present everywhere in large numbers. The sheer number of them makes them dangerous. The advances of the Zerg are fundamental yet compelling. Weapons include high speed nails flying towards your forces and burning chemicals hitting them in the face blinding and killing them.
The Protoss have a very powerful mothership craft which has the power to be able to disguise ALL of its surrounding units and hence are able to launch very successful surprise attacks when least expected. In addition they are able to use their force shield to defend themselves from any advances and attacks by any enemy forces. Watch out for them.
Looking at all three races in this Starcraft 2 game the most quickwitted and maybe advanced race is of course the Terran. They’re actually a mix of the Zerg and the Protoss and they possess endless possibilities. Launching any surprise attack upon the Terran is very difficult. Their use of fantastic mechanized units, enemy identifying scanners and great skills with using flame thrower weapons along with their quick thinking abilities makes them into formidable enemies. Put all that together and you never know what to expect from any assault team they line up against you. Consequently it makes a great game which you will almost inevitably lose the first few times you play.
This should provide you with a basic understanding of the three races and their capabilities.
You will start the game with a central building or Nexus. In general the nexus has three important uses. The nexus can serve as a drop off location for minerals, produce workers or allow any building to work much faster.
