If you love playing Starcraft, you must be really excited about the news of Starcraft 11 and are anxiously awaiting information about the Starcraft unit upgrades you can expect to see. The best way to give you the information is to go through the various units of the Protoss, Zerg and Terran units and give a list of upgrades.

Protoss units and upgrades:

The result of the upgrades is that all units have more abilities than they did in the previous Starcraft. Thus you can use more strategies in planning your moves when playing the part of each race in the scenarios of the game 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.

By knowing before the game is released 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 before the game is even released.
