StarCraft improved on its predecessor Warcraft II, which showcased two incredibly related playable factions, by introducing asymmetry amongst the units and technologies available to its a few races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was just like that pioneered while in the lesser-identified 1996 SSI release War Wind. The unit styles accessible to Every single race outline its racial identity. The Protoss can field impressive and high priced warriors and equipment, although the Zerg count on sheer quantities and pace to overwhelm their opponents.
The protoss OST was meant to be "deep, highly effective, and cerebral."[28] It had been much more orchestral compared to terrans, and Stafford focused on 격투기 instrumentation that may hold them sensation extremely distinctive from Warcraft, using inspiration from Jerry Goldsmith's score into the Film Alien. Wary of parallel enhancement, he purposefully averted the film Starship Troopers.
