Here's how I would classify them.

Terran: precision race. Intense micro with MM, vults, sci vessels/scanning. Heavy multitask race.

Zerg: macro. Takes high skill with all control group keys and flanking techniques and takes a high level understanding of map control/ unit positioning/ unit control.

Protoss: brainy race. Takes adept strategical thinking to take full use of their power. Must use every unit to its' maximum efficiency to prevail.

Terran - "do not underestimate the power of the HUMAN SPIRIT"
Protoss - "the ways of the FORCE"
Zerg - "fury of the SWARM"

Ok, this is basically how I see it: (Strengths not weaknesses)

Zerg:

Adaptable
Flexable
Mobile
Mass (good and bad)

Terran is like
Resilient
Resourceful
Powerful (must sacrifice power for mobility though)

Protoss
Spellcasting
Condense/Expand easier (very small and powerful for pinopint attacks or making less room for the other to attack, or can expand and make a big flank with spread out, and therefore less weak to splash units.
Potential (alot of their units can suddenly before very very good in smoe situations.



Zerg being cheap and many is not accurate at all, that can be good and bad, so it can't be the best trait. :/ (although terous mobile in units an tech hits better to home imo.)
Terran middle ground is hardly true either, they have the most powerufl units but they are the slowest.
Toss are more like the middleground. I think cost effcient-wise not pure numbers.

P.S Evan wins at this thread. ^^

Agreed. Protoss are really not that mobile at ALL - all the Protoss do is attract idiots.

Just like the Alliance in WoW ... T_T


gg toss players =o

Do you not know that Protoss is race of manly men?
Zerg is race of tricky fox.
Terran is race of boring slug.


Honestly though:

Protoss - "Be man, fight straight PRZ."
Zerg - "Gimme more time, dammit. Go 'way. -_-"
Terran - "Mass range units > all, duh."

Terran :
-Strenght in masses(terran is the race of range units with critical masses where a small number is easily killed but a 200/200 is trouble)
-Midgame race - weak units for beginning, hardly useful units in the lategame(no Bc/ghosts)
Zerg :
-Strength in speed(easiest to spread expands to build masses and to move from one part of map to another)
-Units potential increases the higher the tech goes -> Lategame race
Protoss
-Strenth in special abilities(storm, statis...)
-Units potential is early game and very late in the game(your army is from beginning to late game mostly of zeal/goon; lategame mass carriers determine the obvious winner if you can get that far)
- It's all just treason - They bring me down with their lies - Don't know the reason - My life is fire and ice -

Protoss = expensive, small, but powerful army;
Zerg = cheap, plentiful but weak army;
Terran = middle ground

But then again I have only beaten single player (with cheat codes)
and have played some bloodbath (BGH is too BIG!)

i've always thought of it this way:

zerg: many small units, many expansions, needs lots of money
terran: few powerful units, few expansions, doesn't need a lot of money
protoss: middle ground

i play protoss btw. so in pvz i need to play like a terran and in pvt i need to play like a zerg. i.e., in pvz you sort of turtle and need to make sure everything you make is well-defended, slowly build up your forces until you move out. and in pvt it's just the opposite, you simply expand all over the place and try to get as huge as possible before the terran moves out.

In Z v T... do anyone think that the zerg user must be more concentrate -intense than the terran user?


no offense intended:
Z: made in china, (cheap, weak, mass)
T: made in korea, (not expensive, nor cheap,)
P: made in japan, (expensive, high quality)


this.
