Heh, I was playing a FFA 8 person, 7 comps and myself, and they got completely pwned. I hate how in Brood War the computer is amazing, but in SC they SUCK. Joe, do you play on B.net? East or West?

Protoss is hard no matter who has it. No, let me rephrase that: Protoss is hard unless they don't build carriers and it is late in the game. Then they can be outright dominated.

Statistics show that if Battlecruisers (with Yamato Gun) = Carriers, Battlecruisers win everytime. Well, unless a noob is using em. Basically, as long as u make sure to aim for the carrier and NOT the interceptors, the Battlecruisers win. 2 shots from a yamato gun destroy a carrier. But, the whole Carrier + Recall strategy is pretty much unmatched. That, and an army of zealots is pretty pwn. No matter how far into the game.

Zealots pwn all ground troops. When they are upgraded they are unstoppable (unless they have air support).
Oh i have a question: Is there anyway to kill a wraith or any invisible guy without a detector of somesort.

Not that ive come across... Luckily, wraith invisibility runs off of energy, which is a limited amount. A few missile towers/ photon cannons/ spore colonies should take care of any wraiths that fly by. At least til u can get detector units that are able to move. A good player can have Dark Templars REALLY fast, so if you dont prepare accordingly, you could get screwed over fast.

No, they cannot. Dark Templars are not Detector units. The protoss have only two units (correct me if im wrong.) that are able to see cloaked or burrowed units. Photon cannons (which are stationary) and Observers (which have low shields and NO attack, but move quickly) If a wraith is uncloaked, any unit can see them, but Dark Templars are unable to attack, because they use melee attacks (whish are REALLY powerful for the cost and speed of the unit, mind you. 40-42 per hit.) you would need Dragoons in order to take out a wraith if you didnt have some sort of protoss anti air, such as a photon cannon which can ALWAYS see wraiths, but only do 20 damage per hit against them. a scout (which has good anti air for its cost.) Corsair, Dragoon, Carriers and Archons. (again, Im pretty sure thats all, but please correct me if im wrong.)

I used to play this game all the time bakc in the day, I have played it a little while ago as well. I should probably start playing again, cuz its a really fun game. I like playing as the Terran mostly. I like playing with the Protoss sometimes, the fact that the Dark Templar's can use mind control is sweet in using enemy units to gain more minerals and stuff and a variety of other guys to play the opposition with. The only thing that I dislike about the Protoss is the cost to make all of the units and structures, I understand why they do it but wish that they wouldn't. The fact that they get shields is the reason that the stuff costs so much. The Zerg is fun for rushing the enemy with Zerglings in the beginning if you can make them fast enough.
