Game Story Background
Zerg background
Zerg is a completely different human beings and the Protoss race. Their population is infected by them through the composition of the other race. Zerg rule in order to achieve the purpose of all these creatures, once infected, there is the rapid evolution of choice for the effective and lethal killing machine. Zerg do not need to use technology to make weapons, armor or spacecraft. Instead, these functions through biological adaptation and planned mutation and effective implementation. Even zerg buildings are also some near the nest continuously attached to the specialized function of the growth of the organs of the organism. When the zerg first arrived in Koprulu Star area, they from a collective consciousness of the Zerg - dominate the absolute rule. Dominate the low-level awareness of the body through a number of fundamental command of the Swarm in the actions of each Zerg. The first and most important link is the brain worm, each worm has been commissioned a brain insect groups directly control the size of a considerable part. The implementation of the host computer worm is a command, responsible for the field in the nest and most of the direct command and control of different insects. Although the primary purpose is to dominate the highly evolved to destroy the Protoss and absorb their genes race, but it is also found in humans but not yet developed the very useful things. Infection of a human with a strong psionic, Sarah Kerrigan, the dominant evolved a new and unique creature: the Queen of Blades. Al the time of the invasion when the master is destroyed the Protoss, Dark Templar Queen of Blades manipulated the rest of the living brain elimination of insects, and eventually dominated the insect group.

Protoss background
Has a highly developed technology and a powerful psionic Protoss who once considered themselves the most powerful race in the universe. But the war between the Zerg, has proved another point: even the most powerful warrior can not single-handedly overcome such a large number of enemies. The lesson is very difficult to make them acceptable because of their social system, the cornerstone of the philosophy of attachment has been shaken and there is no change in extension of the millennium. However, the Zerg on the Protoss home invasion Al has them race to a crossroads: If you want to survive and triumph, we must make changes. Now, new tactics and technologies of different insects have been introduced to combat the Jedi, and a group of people used to be the Protoss ancient prohibited weapons of mass destruction has been unfrozen. Protoss has a large population is not race, has always been based on various types of automated machinery to make up the number of operational deficiencies. Protoss single soldier has excellent fighting skills, while science and technology with the powerful combination of spiritual energy but also greatly improve their combat effectiveness. However, the Protoss have to use mobility to surprise the enemy in order to maximize their strengths and avoid being dragged into a war of attrition. Which, by their species by the combination of multi-ship fleet of the most terrible enemy firepower is enough to back into atomic form.

Among these are the inclusion of units that can traverse varying levels of terrain,or have the ability to teleport short distances.Some Protoss units can be warped into pylon-powered areas using the Warp Gate, a slight modification of an existing building called the Gateway.StarCraft II's campaign also has exclusive units which are only playable in the campaign and not in the regular multiplayer mode, though they are available for custom maps. These mostly consist of units which have been scrapped from development such as the Terran Diamondback as well as various returning units from the original StarCraft such as the Terran Wraith and Vulture.

Circulation collection - StarCraft 2 new resource acquisition mode. StarCraft 2 in the Farmers wait for mine problem does not exist, because the new wayfinding system and the reduction of acquisition time (1 to 4 clock, 2 of 3 clocks), which makes a double farmers circulation collection possible. Minerals through mutations in the number of farmers does not exceed 2 times, rarely occur for mining and wait for the situation of farmers. Two farmers just formed a collection cycle, it is the best and maximize the cycle makes the problems have been in Starcraft 2 is not so important, because two farmers mining cycle occurs when the minerals through mutations did not capture the time of farmers is very, very small. 1:2 Crystal / farmer ratio is StarCraft 2, which has the golden ratio. 8 points under the main base 8 can be worked out of a collection of 16 crystal when the farmer to optimize the efficiency, due to not being collected Shuijing Kuang time is very small. Continue to improve by increasing the number of peasants by the collection efficiency of crystal has been great as before the opening minutes when mine is more informed choices.

On August 3, 2010, Blizzard Entertainment announced that StarCraft II sold more than 1 million units worldwide within one day of its release. After two days (during which period Blizzard began selling the game as a digital download on its website) it sold approximately 500,000 additional units, bringing the total up to 1.5 million worldwide and making it the fastest-selling strategy game of all time.In its first month on sale, StarCraft II sold a total of 3 million copies worldwide.
Changes since StarCraft
Compared to the original StarCraft, StarCraft II was designed to focus more heavily on the multiplayer aspect, with changes that include major improvements to Battle.net, a new competitive "ladder" system for ranked games, and new matchmaking mechanics—designed to "match-up" players of equal skill level.In addition, the replay function, which allows players to record and review past games, was improved. Blizzard also stated they incorporated changes to the game that were suggested by fans.
StarCraft II continues its predecessor's use of pre-rendered cinematic cut scenes to advance the plot while also improving the quality of in-game cut scenes within the levels themselves, which are rendered on-the-fly using the same game engine as the graphics in the game proper. Blizzard states that with the new graphics engine that StarCraft II uses to render the gameplay, they "can actually create in-game cut-scenes of near-cinematic quality". Most Protoss and Terran units, and some Zerg units, have been shown on the StarCraft II official website, and in several video demonstrations held by Blizzard.Improvements include advanced scenery allocation and more detailed space terrain, such as floating space platforms with planets and asteroids in the background. Small cliffs, extensions, and even advertising signs were also shown to have been improved and refined
