StarCraft enhanced upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which featured two extremely comparable playable factions, by introducing asymmetry in between the units and systems accessible to its three races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was similar to that pioneered during the lesser-recognised 1996 SSI launch War Wind. The unit varieties available to each race outline its racial id. The Protoss can subject strong and highly-priced warriors and equipment, while 헬스케어 the Zerg count on sheer figures and velocity to overwhelm their opponents.
The protoss OST was meant to be "deep, impressive, and cerebral."[28] It had been more orchestral compared to the terrans, and Stafford focused on instrumentation that would retain them emotion exceptionally distinctive from Warcraft, having inspiration from Jerry Goldsmith's rating on the Film Alien. Wary of parallel improvement, he purposefully avoided the movie Starship Troopers.
