What Race In Starcraft 2 is Most Like Orcs From Warcraft 3?

Title says it all! I loved Orcs in Warcraft 3, and would love to play a similar race. Thanks for any help in advance!

Public Comments

1. I haven't played Warcraft for months, and only played it for a week at my friends house, so I can't remember what the orcs were like.

However, here is a short description of each race in Starcraft 2, it may help.

Zerg: Power in numbers. This race has the cheapest units, and the fastest gameplay. When playing zerg, try to outnumber your opponent before engaging, and rebuild your army asap after large battles.

Protoss: Individual perfection. This race has the most expensive units, their basic unit costing twice the other races units, but each unit in the Protoss army is powerful, from the most basic unit (the Zealot) to the immensly powerful Mothership. The Protoss focus on spells more than the other races, and as a result can be easy to learn, but near impossible to master.

Terran: All rounders. This race sits in between the Protoss and Zerg armies in terms of cost and power per unit, but the most noticeable change from the other races is the fact that every single unit in the terran army is ranged. This can be a huge advantage when used correctly, and it is commonly held that the Terran is the easiest race, as it follows more of the normal RTS conventions than the other races. The only problem with Terran is that, at the highest levels of play, there is a slight deficiency in power which only incredible skill and talent can overcome.

Hope that helped, have fun in the awesomest RTS ever created.

2. Terran because both of the others have some special thing about them that makes them nothing like the orcs fyi: Pylons and how zerg spawn their units are both nothing like the orcs

3. i have not played warcraft 3 before oddly enough i played every thing else by blizzard but

terran play where they have to have their workers contruct the building like most other RTS games their units are all ranged but they can die quick but marines and marauders will be in most Terran builds. terran build their units from buildings like the barracks like normal.
terran can build buildings anywere. the terran tech is quite linear in that building a barracks will let you build a factory which will let you build the starport

protoss when they build a building the worker floats over to the spot and the building starts "warping" in and the worker does not have to be sitting there and can go back to mining or build more
their units are tough but each has their strengths and weaknesses like zealots will clear most combat units quickly and if the enemy cant pull away can cut through them quick but it the enemy can move they will kill several of them before they even get close. protoss for their gateways will build normally but when they get warpgates their building units will be on a cooldown instead of a build time. and with warpgates the units can spawn anywere you have a pylon field
protoss buildings must be built within pylons as well
the protoss tech tree is a little more seperate building the gateway lets you build the twilight council and get more basic unit upgrades, build a robotics facility, and build a stargate but you will normally have to pick one or the other since you need to spend a lot of resources to get units that make it useful and having a mixed army of everything does not work the best

zerg when they build a building their worker turns into the building so you lose the worker in building that building. but they build all of their units from their main building where larvae will constantly spawn and you need to turn them into your units. zerg also rely on getting more bases on their opponents since one of there bases builds a little bit less than the other teams can. zerg must build buildings on creep but zerg need very little buildings throughout the game
i dont know the zerg tech tree very well because i dont play zerg ever

4. I think it's Terran, because Stimpack is kind of like Bloodlust.

I guess you could make the case that Protoss Zealots are more like Grunts and Stalkers are kind of like Headhunters, but Terran units don't regenerate shields like Protoss does.

Orc Burrows are a lot like Terran bunkers, and the towers are similar too. In general this is a tough question because I think the races in War 3 are very similar to each other, while the races in Starcraft are very different.

5. i also played warcraft 1 to 3.and it is so awesome

well i think the terrans are the unbeatable and coolest race because it is nothing get past the defenses by combining bunkers and siege tanks.but sadly this game cant be build some heroes.

but hey what if it is a comeback of warcraft 4 with its similar to starcraft 2 it is most epic on campaigns that filled with great cinematics and interactivity also lets to upgrade some like human footman or night elves archers.
