Reaver: Obviously a great ground unit for a few reaons, the first would have to be their incredible range matched only by the siege tank. Next is thier damage, they are the highest damaging ground unit in the game except for the Infested terran which is a one time damage of 500 where as the rever can shoot as many scarabs as he wants that pack a whopping 125 damage when upgraded and limited only to your resource supply. Thier main downfall would have to be thier speed which is pathetically slow. Thier armor and life easily make up for this disadvantage though which is why i would have to give a rating of 8 out of 10 for the ground units.
BattleCruiser: Obviously a well over powered terran air unit. Packing a whopping 34 damage i believe it is when upgraded and with a massive 500 life plus armor they are one of the few units that can withstand the massive Nuclear strike. I personally dont believe in using superunits simply because they are to powerfull and the game often ends rather quickly when higher amounts of super units are built. One aspect that is forgotten easily of the battle cruiser by mot players is the Yamato gun. Easily the most damaging air attack in the game, second the the Nuclear Strike which is debatable considering it comes from the air but is launched from the ground, so thats not really an air or ground attack. I would have to give the Battle Cruiser a 6 out of 10 simply because i do not believe in super units as they make the game less fun. Any newb can mass build super units and win. On the other hand if i believe they were fun i would rate them 10 out of 10.
Lurker: One of the greatest ground units zerg has to offer second to the Hydralisk only because Lurker can attack only when burrowed and are worthless unburrowed. My memory of thier damage isnt to great. Combined with Defiler's Dark swarm they are easily he best Defenceive destroyer. I would have to rate these Spider Killers 8 out of 10.
Science Vessel: Obviously the most vital unit to terran. Its armed with one attack per race that is extremely usefull. The only race it's attacks dont help very against is the terran which it is part of so why would terran have an attack that harms thier own race?? First on thier massive armor is Irradiate i think is how its spelt. This is your best friend when fighting the zerg, its a swarm of parasites that deteriate any non mechanical unit. Use this when swarms of units are around as only one cast of this mighty plague can take out several units. Second is the Electrol Magnetic Pule aka EMP, this sends all protoss shields to zero which is extremely usefull if your enemeys mass build archans as they have 300 shield but only 10 life which makes them a one hit kill. Third would have to be the Defensive matrix which basically amplifies the life of any unit its cast upon, for a short period of time that is, or untill its destroyed. Fourth would be its a detector which is always great versus any race as every race has units that are un-attackable unless there are detectors around.
If this isnt enough to read i can easily go into detail about each and every unit for each and every race, I.E what thier pros and cons are. Untill requested to do so im done for now... sheesh my fingers hurt now :\
