Why do you say that? They each got unique units that were similar in power.

Increasing Goliath missile range and Siege Tank blast radius, as well as Valkyries not only cemented Terran's air superiority, it really tipped the whole game in their favour...

Trust me, I could destroy anyone with the Zerg.

But yeah I see what you mean, I had forgotten/didn't know about the other stuff they changed.

I bet you couldn't beat a psycho Korean player, though

But then again, who can?

Let's not forget the medics as well, effectively eliminating the Zerg heal-over-time and Protoss shield-regeneration advantage - this is what balanced the game! The Zerg had the weakest & cheapest units, but they could regenerate; the Terran had the middle-of-the-road units that weren't too costly, but had medium health; and the Protoss had the expensive units with shields that could regenerate over time.

And then there's the 'improvements' they made to the Science Vessel (once a minor, tactical annoyance; now an instrument of mass Zerg death), making Irradiate contagious to all other organic units (read: pretty much just every Zerg unit)! As if they weren't annoying enough as detectors and such, now they get sent to destroy hordes of slow, defensless Overlords (all of Zerg's eggs are in this one weak basket - transport, detector AND unit capacity).

So yeah, thus ends my bitching session on the inequities of Brood Wars (okay, maybe not). I too was a Zerg player, so I especially didn't appreciate the expansion - although the Lurkers were a good idea, the Zerg's new air-to-air units sucked (so suckful I forgot their names, and they still needed to be babysat by Mutalisks and Overlords to be of any use).
