StarCraft improved upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which featured two extremely similar playable factions, by introducing asymmetry between the models and systems accessible to its 3 races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was much like that pioneered within the lesser-known 1996 SSI launch War Wind. The device forms accessible to Each and every race define its racial identity. The Protoss can industry highly effective and high-priced warriors and machinery, whilst the Zerg depend on sheer 헬스 quantities and pace to overwhelm their opponents.

The protoss OST was built to be "deep, strong, and cerebral."[28] It had been much more orchestral than the terrans, and Stafford centered on instrumentation that could preserve them sensation extremely distinctive from Warcraft, getting inspiration from Jerry Goldsmith's score into the Motion picture Alien. Wary of parallel development, he purposefully prevented the film Starship Troopers.
