-----------------------------
ii. Introduction
This section is simply intended to be a reference for all of the races' units and buildings.
You will probably not find any strategy tips in here, but it is a good resource for any facts
you may need about the game itself. Here's a quick description of the various facts you will
find about the units and buildings.
1. Crystals / Gas Obviously, this is how many resources this unit or building will take to
produce. This can be in a factor in the cost of repairing such unit or
building.
2. HP This is how many maximum hit points the unit has. Once the HP reaches
zero, the unit or building is destroyed.
3. Shields Protoss units have additional hit points, known as shields. This is
different from regular hit points, as is described in the strategy
section.
4. Energy Energy is a reserve for the use of special abilities.
5. Supply, Control, This is how much "food" the unit will require to be built.
or Psi
6. Weapons The weapons are described here. This is the first number used in
calculating damage to a unit. The type of damage and armor can reduce
the damage dealt as well.
7. Cooldown A unit's cooldown is how many cycles must elapse before a weapon can be
fired again. A game cycle is a few seconds long when the game is set to
normal time.
8. Range This is the effective range that the unit may be fired at, in game
matrices.
8. Armor A unit's armor rating is subtracted from damage, after modifiers for
splash and damage types are applied.
9. Build Time This is how long (in game cycles) it takes for a unit to be produced.
-----------------------------
iii. Important Notice about CD-Keys
I have received a few e-mails from people asking me to provide them with my CD-key. I'll save
you the trouble of writing if you want to ask me. I will not give out my CD-key to anyone,
because it is my access to battle.net. If anyone else uses that CD-key, I can't get on when my
CD-key is already being used. Also, if I give out my CD-key to one person, it will get all the
way around the Internet to everyone in a blink of an eye. Then I will not be able to access
battle.net. So, don't even bother writing me, because I won't give it out. Buy the game. It's
well worth it, and it's cheap now.
-----------------------------
1. Terran
The Terrans are the most like the Orcs and Humans of WarCraft II of the three races in
StarCraft. You have SCV's instead of Peasants, Marines instead of Footmen, etc. An experienced
WC2 player will easily pick up on this race before the others.
-----------------------------
1.1. Terran Buildings
All Terran buildings can be repaired by an SCV. Also, when a Terran building is heavily damaged
(when hit points are shown in red), it will slowly lose hit points until it is destroyed.

3. Protoss
The Protoss are more like the Terrans in the way that the units are produced, but there are
several other differences. All Protoss units and buildings have shields that can regenerate.
Also, most of the Protoss units have many hit points, and do more damage, but they do cost more.
As with the other two races, all Protoss units get +1 armor for each upgrade. Also, Protoss
buildings and Protoss units start with 0 shield armor and get +1 shield armor per upgrade.
------------------------------------------
3.1. Protoss Buildings
All of the Protoss buildings must be warped in by a Probe. Once a warp rift has been created,
the Probe may do another task, so you don't have to stand by the building while it is being
created. Also, all buildings except the Nexus and the Assimilator must be powered by nearby
Pylons.
