I was in the kitchen the other day when this occurred to me and I felt it just had to be expressed here.

I mean, think about it. They are highly technological, love making robots and are all about honor and dying for their country/planet.

Zealots are basically like kamikaze pilots- the way they are always suiciding themselves into minefields and siege tanks. Oh and they kind of look like they are wearing samurai armor.

And of course the dark templars are ninjas.

If you want to take this specious analogy further I think there's also a weak case for Korea to be the terrans and Chinese to be the zergs.

The terrans are the most aggressive talking of the three species, kind of like, (ahem) Koreans. Oh, and there is the political rift between the UED and the confederacy like that between the North and South.

As for the zerg, well they are very numerous and rely on sheer manpower to get things done, like (ahem) the Chinese. Plus, there is the group mind thing which is somewhat reminiscent of communism.

Well, that's all I got.

Plz don't be offended, k thnx

Zealot: Samurai Warrior
Dark Templar: Ninja
They have one of the longest lived civilizations (Chrysanthemum Throne existed for nearly 2000 years and is still around today)

After that, the similarities seem to wane

Wow, talk about analogies.. so Yao Ming is an Ultralisk right?
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
