fav units for each race...
Protoss
Carrier: Awesome unit. However its only my second fave for Protoss because it's vulnerable against TOO many units. Scourge, BCS, Wraiths, scouts, HUGE hydralisk army, and devourers. Attack is only 9 dmg when fully upgraded...
9x8!!! ;D. Thx to those interceptors carriers use for attack. Each burst of laser does 9 damage, and if they attack altogether, that's 72 dmg!!! Only problem is, the carriers randomize their attack if you don't right click on a target, and they seem to pick out 2-3 targets at once. Against mas.sive armies, such as hydralisks, wraiths, scouts, and devourers, they can get destroyed very quickly.
Scout: my fav unit in the whole game! ;D ;D ;D. Ah i love using these to destroy carriers and bcs, and theyre pretty easy to mdonkey produce. Also good at attacking bases in huge armies of around 60.
Reaver: slow, but darn powerful! May not be as good D as siege tanks, cuz theyre mainly meant for offense. Reaver drop is a good technique, and so is teleporting them with an Arbitor (the name of the elite from Halo 2! ;D). Scarabs do 125 dmg when fully upgraded. thats 40+ damage than the tank! Only disadvantage is that is may be TOO slow, and Scarabs have to be built, or theyre weaponless.
Terran
Battlecruiser: The game's most powerful unit. Air and ground attack do 34 dmg when fully upgraded, and the Yamato Cannon can do 260 damage against any enemy!!! BC is the most expensive unit in the game, and also provides the most firepower. Also has the third strongest armor (ultralisk w/ upg. first, carrier second) in the game. Can be destroyed by wraiths and scouts.
Goliath: Robot walkers that can deal some damage, and take some too. It has 125 HP, and a ground attack value of 12+3. Air attack value is 20+12, and has good range too. Charon boosters further increase the range, making the hellfire missiles even more devastating. supply value of 2 means that the goliath can be mdonkey produced, and theyre fairly cheap too! ;D. Good against capitol ships (BCS and Carriers).
Valkyrie: The only reason i like the Valkyrie frigates is because their attacks look awesome!!! ;D ;D ;D. Other than that, theyre pretty useless. On the first level u use them, they seem like the terran's best air unit, but after a while, youll realize theyre weak. it is an ATA attacker, and with an attack value of 6+3x8 SPLASH provides withering fire. however after just a little use, the attack systems break down, and they wont be able to attack anymore. Good against light air units (wraiths, mutalisks, overlords, guardians, scouts etc.), but SUCKS against capitol ships. heavy armor reduces explosive attacks by 75%, meaning their damage lowers to about 2 damage per missile.
Zerg:
Hydralisk: Presents little threat by a little army of 12, but they can be easily mdonkey produced, so making an army of 130 hydralisks isn't much work. If your opponent has little defense and a few units, your army of 130 will plow through their base like a huge bulldozer. Your best hope against an army that size is probably... pray (jk). Siege tanks, Reavers, Firebats, work like a charm against these guys.
Guardian: Big fat, mutated Zerg Bombers. that's basically the role of the Guardians, which isnt saying a lot because theyre 99% meant for attack. With an attack range of 8, they can bomb the enemy turrets/photon cannons/spore colonies, which only have a range of 7. The attack damage is 20+6, meaning they can make mincemeat out of any enemy defenses. only problem is, theyre only ATS attackers, so theyre extremely vulnerable against ANY air attacker, and also because Guardians have extremely low speed, you best send backup with these behemoths.
Lurker: Excellent D and, if you really want to camp against n00bs, they rock too! ;D. Their attack value is pretty high (20+6) but because they attack WHILE burrowed, they can make short work of any small group of lightly armored enemies, and even very large groups if they dont have detectors (which is stupid). However when detected, the Lurkers are extremely vulnerable against air units and long range ground units (siege tank, reaver etc.). Best for defense, and should be backed up when going in for attack.

darnit Gamerznet changed the smilies...AGAIN...
originally the glamour girl (or kiss) was supposed to be 'Fenix' kicking 'Kerrigan' in the butt, or perhaps the "PUBLIC" (notice the 'L') area.
