The UED were nazis in everything but name. Read the backstory on Earth and why the Terrans are there to begin with, Earth is an ultranationalist facist One World Order and the Terrans are criminals they sent off world.

Aren't Terran race just a bunch of for life convicts sent to outer space? Why do they have guns and military technology?

Terran because bunkers and siege tanks are cool. Zerg are only good for dying in droves in front of my siege tanks.
>>
>>340464972
A lot of them are also rednecks, guns and shit just come with them
>>
>>340464590
Plus the fleet they sent to the Koprulu sector was a small expeditionary force whose orders were OSP (as an excuse to not make an entire race's unit set for the Terran campaign in BW)

The main Earth military is still at home, and they know what went down. I think SC2 missed a big opportunity by not having Earth's full force show up and be the villain every has to fight.

They've been in the Koprulu sector for over 200 years now. That's a long time.

Yeah I get that from their accents but you don't give guns to prisoners who are sentenced for life to just do their own.
>>
>>340464972

They are convicts, but they were also sent there to colonize so they had stuff with them.

And the military tech they have is baby tier compared to what Earth has, iirc Metzen said that even the Prottos tech doesn't compare to Earth's.
>>
>>340463945
Are we just talking about the first game? If so, I'd say maybe Zerg or Terrans. Zergs will steam roll you if you give them any leeway and Terrans have so much utility they have an answer for anything, plus the ability to build anywhere.

Plus if you attack an enemy's base, usually they'll be so concerned with the army you can sneak a ghost in from another side to prepare a nuclear strike.
>>
>>340465171
They haven't just arrived when the game starts. A long time has passed, enough for them to colonize planets, create governments and infrastructure, etc.

>>340465469

Well, back then Starcraft isn't what it is today they probably simply couldn't make a 4th race even if they wanted, so they gave some bullshit excuse as to why the UED had the same tech as normal Terrans.

In SC2 we just had all that gay xel'naga dark god bullshit so there was no room to have the UED show up.
>>
>>340465216
If that's so, why is that one scientist dude in SC2 so mystified about Protoss technology in the campaign.

Although to be fair, Protoss tech seems to more borderline mystical than proper technology.

>and the Terrans are criminals they sent off world.

So the Terrans are essentially Space Australians then. No wonder they've always seemed like such humongous cunts.

How do Australians have guns?

On-site procurement. Aka take your guns from the locals.

Well that's what they did.

>>340465780
Pretty common in sci fi actually.
>>
>>340465780

They were put into cryo sleep and went into warp drive for 28 years.

Earth figured they'd never see them again.
>>
Statistically I think Terran had the highest overall win % in the pro circuit. But these were differences as minor as 1-6% between races. Then again these are figures I barely remember from when I stilled played back in 04 so I have no idea if it's changed.

I hate Starcraft for killing rts games, but goddamn the music for the Terran race is just fucking amazing. It's just out of this world how diverse it is throughout its runtime.

In my opinion Zerg is the best when perfectly played.
Followed by Protoss.
Followed by Terran.

However the difference between them is like 0.00000001 because of how balanced the game is. There's a way to win no matter what because of how complex the game is.

>>340467262
To follow up upon this, was there any other game that did a soundtrack like that? I think that Starcraft's OST is really unique in that regard. I have never heard any other game music do something like that. I know that there were instances of dynamic music like in UT3 but it isn't the same. This was made as a single track that played throughout its entirety before it looped and it's amazing how diverse it is.

I really liked the Protoss.

Fuck thats the best shit, shame there isn't much music that sounds quite the same as the Terran music

As far as I know the guy that did the OST for both Diablo games is no longer with Blizzard, but made the OST in similar tone for Torchlight. It didn't really fit the WoW design they went with though.

I'm just a scrub sitting on silver and it gets fucking boring after the 10th game and you haven't even fully unlocked their abilities.

Although the mutations gamemode makes it more challenging, only slightly.
