Basic Tips for all Races (By Squantar)

For all purposes ...... 1 zealot = 2 marines = 4 zerglings.

• Marines are the only first unit that can attack air.
• Marines in bunkers are powerful defense and can slow down attacks against you.
• Firebats are only good in Bunkers against close ranged attackers.
• Seige Tanks are destructive against land but air units destroy them so have them backed up by goliaths or marines.
• The most important upgrade inb the game is seige mode, seige tanks do unbelievable dameg while in it.
• SCV's are the fastest life regeneration in the game not counting protoss shield batteries.
• EMP shockwave from Science vessiles removes all the psi shields from protoss units.

• Zerglings are the first attack unit any race can get. If you are going to rush get them and go quick.
• Overlords for Zerg are good scouts against protoss, but marines kill them so don't scout terrans.
• If you are playing Zerg use your overlords to transport drones to island expansions, they are harder to find and more easily defended.
• Mutalisks are the earliest air unit, but if you rush to get them on a land map you will get attacked and probably lose.
• On island maps either send over hydralisks in overlords or rush to mutalisks because Zerg are the fastest race to air units
• Defilers can comsume any biological unit so they are extremely effective against Zerg
• If One of your units is hurt let it sit around for a while and regenerate up to full life

• Zealots are the strongest first attack unit in the game use them. If you find your opponent early make three gateways and pump out zealots.
• Gas is not a problem you can build zealots pylons cannons and probes without gas. If you are good enough you won't need to get farther then that.
• Upgraded Dragoons are as good as if not better than cannons except they aren't detectors.
• Shield batteries are one of the best buildings protoss have use them a lot.
• Observers are cloaked detectors, if you have time and money cover the map with them.
• Reavers when upgraded are devastating attackers.
• If you have two templars sitting around not doing anything, use them for psi storm the merge them into an Archon.
• Probes aren't buisy while making buildings, they just open warpgates and then they can go harvest minerals again.
• Scouting with Halucinations is a good idea because you don't lose any real units
