StarCraft improved upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which featured two very similar playable factions, by introducing asymmetry between the models and systems accessible to its 3 races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was much like that pioneered within the lesser-known 1996 SSI launch War Wind. The device sorts available to Every race define its racial id. The Protoss can subject strong and pricey warriors and machinery, though the Zerg depend on sheer figures and speed to overwhelm their opponents.
The protoss OST was intended to be "deep, effective, and cerebral."[28] It was more orchestral when compared to the terrans, 헬스케어 and Stafford centered on instrumentation that might maintain them emotion particularly unique from Warcraft, taking inspiration from Jerry Goldsmith's rating on the movie Alien. Cautious of parallel growth, he purposefully avoided the movie Starship Troopers.
