StarCraft improved upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which showcased two really similar playable factions, by introducing asymmetry amongst the models and systems available to its 3 races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was much like that pioneered from the lesser-identified 1996 SSI release War Wind. The unit forms available to Each individual race determine its racial id. The Protoss can subject potent and highly-priced warriors and machinery, whilst the Zerg depend on sheer figures and pace to overwhelm their opponents.

The protoss OST was created to be "deep, effective, and cerebral."[28] It had been extra orchestral than the terrans, and Stafford focused on instrumentation that 킥복싱 may continue to keep them experience incredibly distinct from Warcraft, having inspiration from Jerry Goldsmith's rating for the movie Alien. Cautious of parallel growth, he purposefully avoided the movie Starship Troopers.
