WC3:1.
Orcs with demonic blood infused by them by guldan that send them in a blind bloodlust large and killed the draeneis. I like grom hellscream, only orc i love. Orcs are overally a neat esthetic race.

2.
Undead, or close enough,
I enjoy Arthas, this swordman had a plan plotted against him when kiljaeden offered nerzhul to be sent in a mission as a lich king to create the scourge. the mental domination of nerzhul, the old orc warlock, now undead? he's the main undead person, yet he does not have a body, only a iron will and a mental domination that can control all the villagers that got converted into zombies by the plague ( started by the cult of damned, started by kel thuzad, the archmagi in dalaran influenced by the lick king ) with no mental efforts, the zombie souls are like one with him.

oh, back to arthas, the plot planned by the lich king, wich amazed me to death, is simply amusing and sadistic where he killed his father, the king of the human kingdom, terenas2g, he didnt felt any remorses, he like lost any compassion with the humans. the act of killing a king of an empire for a regular being would have led him to suicide. but arthas, being the king's son, was getting knight when his father died.

nerzhul made a wise choice choosing someone that is both an excellent swordman and the son of the king. arthas had many exciting adventures throught the gates of the frozen throne, i played the undead campaign two times, and watched the cinematic billion times, arthas heard the lich king's call where his power diminished beceause of the hole he made in his prison to blast off his sword that what also in the crystal and make the sword land where arthas would find it.

not only the cinematic have mind-numbing graphics, but also an exciting plotline have been stimulated now.
i have never been this much excited to see where the plot shall continue. i am very interesting in warcraft, i started playing it at age of 5 approximativly, these moments were magical, where in a map in a campaign there was the 60~ bloodlusted ogre magis, man that was scary. when my bro's friend first showed me the god mode, i was amazed to see that my peons could kill a town hall in 7 hits! i was like "woah" and i really meant it, my first warcraft moments were magical.

Oh, i have no favorite races, only favorite characters from various races ( none from NE's , i hate them, that's beceause my soul is so dark.

i hope WoW won't be a sequel of any sort to warcraft, i dont want to pay a monthly fee, but i hope many people will do, to have enough money gathered to show some arthas badass action.

the lich king always had his forces and power greatly boost up, and fused with arthas's physical body to escape and move and oppose any physical resistance, they will sure be a threat.

Undead Rules because of the Frost Wyrms!
But there is one weakness, the undead units cost a lot of food and they take much time to be trained. So..rushing the undead base will bring victory.

I also use night elves but they lack some melee power.

Whoah, it's funny to think that we don't like our own kind (you know what I mean :wink: :wink: )

Thats probably because we are wanting something out of the ordinary. Noone chose terran or bloodelf either, right? And those are most like us. They all chose twisted all powerful beings of destruction. Anyways, i personally like to play as undead, but i think the coolest race is blood elf.

zerg for me. heres a story for you ppl. true:
Once upon a time...
the ppl at blizzard asked 20th century fox if they could make an aliens versus predator game. fox said no, so blizzard said ok, we'll make "starcraft" (cough) (avp) (cough). the head on the hydralisk has alien queen written on it, the terran marine IS bill paxton (or hudson) from aliens, and the protoss zealot has those energy blades with such close resemblance to the predator wrist blades.

Well, in WK i think the NEs rule. Bears with roar + MG is excellent meele, Dryads beat Gryphons, Frost Wyrms and Chimaeras, Hyppogriph Rider is the strongest anti air (if i play againist comp, i don't use any other units than this... except the heroes. Computers can't defend themselves againist mass air). Only the casters' caster function is weak at NEs. Nothing impressive.
I also like the priestess. Her aura is very good for NE as most of their units are ranged. Tho she seems to be a weak hero, but she only needs a good control to survive. And Starfall really woths it.

In SC i like Protoss. They have strong magic, and they have some very powerful units. For example a combo what i like (particulary useful againist zerg) is the two archons + reaver. Reavers take out the ground units while archons care about the mutas. DarkArchons maelstrom them all, or MindControl what is too powerful.
But i also like using Arbiter + Carrier + Corsair. Corsair kills the scourge/muta/wraith, carriers destroy the base and arbiter provides cover. Can even Stasis field the enemy if there are too much of them.
Yeah and both needs a few observers too if the enemy has cloaked units.

http://www.sclegacy.com/encyclopedia/unitquotes.php

see how many aliens/StarTrek and other quotes are in SC.

I think it is quite obvious that SC was inspired by aliens and predator. (hives, zerg eggs, hydralisk - when i first heard their death sound i thought it was taken from the aliens movie, infestation, humans trying to control aliens but they fail, protoss disruptor/photon cannons - look very similar to the predators main weapon, DT, dropships, marines and so on)

Back to the topic: hmm i told which ones are my fav. race, now i'll tell wich ones are in the second place:
WC3: Orcs. Very good magic and good starting units. Oh yea thier "gruntapult" rule.
SC: Zerg. Tho i play very bad with them, they are effective and has a very interesting style of gameplay. And the defiler is the most annoying and nasty thing ever made it to any game. Sure it cannot kill anything but ur own units, but carriers with 1 hp are completely useless. Not to mention Dark Swarm. It greatly helps lings and ultralisks.
