Starcraft RPG

What is a really good strategy for Starcraft 1, playing as protoss.?

I'm trying to be good at Starcraft 1 and I usually play as Protoss. I'm not really good because usually the other team manages to have stronger and more troops than me. Help Thanks.

1. It depends on how you are strategizing. If you are fortifying your base then make sure to have a line of photon cannons. Behind those you want ranged units such as sets of Dragoons, and a few Reavers for the high HP based ground attacks. Your front line can be layered with Zealots and Archons. As your front line breaks to attack incoming units keep several batteries just behind the dragoons so units can run in and heal their shields as needed. This will preserve units. It is also a good idea to place several observers around your base to establish a perimeter. This gives you time to prepare for incoming hostiles. Also you might want to have 3 or so Carriers to setup a swarm. Example: they might try to bum rush you with waves and waves of zerglings. Your Archons would act as tanks taking the majority of the damage while your Zealots and Cannons attack the mob your Archon is attacking. Basically you could manage these in teams. Then run the archon back to the battery when necessary. Meanwhile your dragoons would continue pounding away at the zerglings. To add to this defense have your Carriers release interceptors to lay out the ground trops quickly. Basically keep pumping out groups of interceptors to distract ground attackers while you weaken them. See you in SC2 Summer '09 By the way here's a good site to read up on all the units of SC. http://www.battle.net/scc/protoss/units/
