StarCraft improved on its predecessor Warcraft II, which showcased two incredibly very similar playable factions, by introducing asymmetry involving the models and technologies available to its three races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was similar to that pioneered during the lesser-recognised 1996 SSI launch War Wind. The unit varieties available to each race determine its racial id. The Protoss can discipline effective and pricey warriors and machinery, though the Zerg depend on sheer figures and speed to overwhelm their opponents.
An issue all through development was that at this stage in time, 격투기 sport studios were being starting to benefit from 3D graphics, although Blizzard continue to hand-drew their designs.
