1) Ground Attack 2) Ground Armor 3) Palsma Shield I usually upgrade all my plasma shield first, then start upgrading attack. Sorry to sound so noobish. I am veteran warcraft3 player, and just started starcraft1 for get in preparation for Starcraft2. I must say starcraft is billion times better then warcraft3. | ||

1 forge: attack. 2 forge: attack + armor. 3 forge: all upgrades. | ||

2) Next time, remember to label the topic correctly. ( In this case, [Q]) 3) Make sure you do a thorough search through the TL database, I'm sure you could have found detailed answers to this question if you had actually looked. 4) Plasma shields should never be your first upgrade. Generally, and especially in PvZ, protoss upgrade weapons first, with ground armor being the next priority. | ||

Its good to see people that finally see the light :p Most people almost always get +1 weapons first, then armor and if they have enough money 2nd or 3rd forge and shields. However this is not absolute, for example I've heard many people say (and I agree) that in an archon heavy PvZ, shields should come earlier, or if the Z is fast on upgrades (ie he will have carpace when you have weapons) +Armor may be best. Hope this helps a bit.. | ||

Hope this helps a bit.. What he said can be applied, but in very specific circumstances... At this level I suggest you to never go +1 armor first vs zerg, because 1) the carapace first 4 hatch before lair build into 36~ lings midgame is rare nowadays and 2) if you let the zerg catch up in +armor with ur attack, you will essentially give up on a big potential advantage u have throughout mid/midlate game, which is the 2 hit zealots on lings. | ||

Basically vs zerg going +1 attack is very important to 2-hit zerglings and once you have +3 dmg for archons you are guaranteed to 1-hit lings. However, you really have to get another forge to upgrade armor, imo, even before your +1 finishes. Zerg should always have more units then you and they all are relatively low dmg. When zerg gets its damage upgrades, they can really make a difference if you don't have armor. Pvt... get attack when you have a forge and extra/gas minerals but overall all you really need is attack and I've seen pros not upgrade at all in pvt. PvP. Upgrades are of medium importance (more import then terran), get attack over armor. | ||

PvP (Fairly important) - Get attack. Armor is resources available. PvT (Not important) - Get attack is resources available. | ||

but attack and armor are so much more important. especially attack in early game (2-hit lings with zeals). | ||
