StarCraft 2 is a sequel to the PC based Real Time Strategy game StarCraft: Brood War made by Blizzard Entertainment. It is split into three installments: the base game with the subtitle Wings of Liberty, and two upcoming expansion packs, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void. StarCraft II features the return of the three species from the original game: Protoss, Terran, and Zerg.

Game Mechanics

Players are required to strategically and quickly manage their Economy, Technology and Army in order to defeat their opponent. The basis of playing is, on the one hand, to harvest resources and on the other hand using said resources to purchase buildings, upgrades and units.

In this most basic understanding of the game we distinguish two tasks for the player: Macro and Micro.

In short, Macro (or macromanagement in full) encompasses managing your economy and technology: making sure you have an income (by harvesting resources) and spending said income (by purchasing buildings, upgrades and units).

Micro (or micromanagement in full) encompasses managing your army. Moving, attacking, retreating with the ultimate goal of overpowering your opponent.

All these operations take place in real-time - commands are executed as they are given. This means a player not only benefits from strategical insight, but also from speed and multitask ability, measured by APM. The ability to perform specific actions in limited time is often referred to as Mechanics.

Races

A player has to pick one of three races to play with, or choose Random. Each race has different Buildings and Units and consequently different ways of playing with then. The races are:

Terran - Humanoid race Characteristics Average unit costs Buildings can be built anywhere, and most of them can be lift off Characterized by mobility and good defense Can repair buildings and units Can summon a temporary worker Terran Units Terran Strategy

Zerg - Insectoid alien race Characteristics Cheap units built in quantity Flexible because the Hatchery is the only production building Buildings must be built on creep Speed advantage on creep Drones sacrifice themselves to become buildings Zerg Units Zerg Strategy

Protoss - Advanced alien race Characteristics Expensive and strong units Buildings must be built within range of a Pylon Probes need only to begin a building's warp-in Can warp in units All units and buildings are equipped with a regenerative shield Protoss Units Protoss Strategy
