starcraft psychology

Starcraft Psychology is a way to describe a popular mindset while playing Starfact (online). There is actually a different attitude towards playing each with the Zerg, Protoss and Terran races in Starcraft. Recognizing how players usually treat their races in the game, may actually help to avoid mistakes while playing the game.

Here is my advice to noobs:

1) Zerg are thought to be sparable. Players will not "worry" for losing Zerg units. This happens because Zerg are an alien breed where units are quickly made. For this reason players will make quick rushes, waste units and resources and end up with a lack of units for a time when they are really needed.

2) Terrans are at the other extreme. While the cost and time to make them are somewhere in the middle of all 3 races, Terrans are most human-like. As a result players are too careful to send units when they should, probably because of feelings of guilt.

3) Protoss are the most interesting. While they cost the most, and are somewhat easy to kill (when faced the right type of opponent's units), players often treat them like Zerg units (again because they are "alien" looking and "alien" sounding, like Zerg units).

starcraft psychology, as seen in some cases:
1) Zerg units are often sent to slaughter. Instead, rushes should be conducted more carefully.
2) Terran players often can rush and win but choose caution instead. Rather, a player should seize the right moment and attack.
3) Protoss players will send massive amounts dragoons against terran tanks. As a result, unit number is depleated and takes a lot of time to regain. Instead, these players should preserve every unit.

starcraft

A seriously overrated 2d RTS that everyone loves for no reason.

Also there is an expansion coming out called "Starcraft 3D" that is the same game but more ripped off of Warhammer 40k than ever.

See Total Annihilation for an actual RTS.

Starcraft

A real-time strategy game made in the late 90's by Blizzard.

Held in a god-like status for it's "unique" races (All of which were ripped off from Warhammer 40000, which came out in the 1980s!.) and balanced gameplay.

Famous/notorious for being the national sport in S. Korea.

Also considered to be the best PC (or overall) game of all time even though games like Deus Ex, System Shock, Company of Heroes, and X-com are far more superior.

Terran rips off of the Imperium of Men (Basically people with the cannon fodder characteristic of a Imperial Guard clad in power armors of the Adeptus Astartes. Siege Tank = the retarded and inefficient offspring of a Basilisk and Leman Russ)
Zerg ripped off the Tyranid (duh?)
Protoss ripped off the Eldar (but can actually fight and are not a bunch of pussies.)

In another word: all 3 races in Starcraft are just ripoffs.
