StarCraft enhanced upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which highlighted two really comparable playable factions, by introducing asymmetry in between the units and systems accessible to its 3 races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was much like that pioneered inside the lesser-recognized 1996 SSI release War Wind. The device forms available to Each and every race define its racial id. The Protoss can industry highly effective and high-priced warriors and machinery, while the Zerg depend on sheer figures and pace to overwhelm their opponents.
The protoss OST was created to be "deep, impressive, and cerebral."[28] It had been far more orchestral 다이어트 than the terrans, and Stafford focused on instrumentation that could preserve them feeling incredibly distinctive from Warcraft, taking inspiration from Jerry Goldsmith's rating on the movie Alien. Wary of parallel growth, he purposefully prevented the film Starship Troopers.
