If you love playing Starcraft, you must be very excited about the Starcraft 11 news and are eagerly awaiting information on the Starcraft unit updates you can expect to see.

The result of the updates is that all units have more abilities than in the previous Starcraft. Therefore, you can use more strategies to plan your moves when you play the role of each race in the game scenarios and on different maps. It means that some of the strategies you used in the original game will not be effective against some of the units that now have more abilities.
Knowing before the game launches what the various upgrades mean for each of the units and knowing that there will be new units for each of the races can help you plan your moves even before the game launches.
