Regeneration In Process
I did have an idea for a battle for Earth, set sometime after Starcraft Brood Wars. The main idea is that the Protoss and the Dominion have somehow recovered, as the Zergs have decided to destroy the UED before finishing off their enemies in Koprulu. The Zergs have landed on Earth and attacked the UED, but after securing the beachheads, Kerrigan discovered that Duran is on Earth as well - with an army of Hybrids. Meanwhile, the Protoss and the Terran Dominion decide to save the Earth (and to finally get rid of Kerrigan and Duran), and send expeditionary forces.
Factions apart from UED could only summon reinforcements at first, until they pay enough economy to found major bases. The UED has several bases from the beginning, but is in a very bad situation being attacked by several Zerg Broods, facing a few rebellions and having lost the core of its fleet in the Battle of Luna.

Sounds good. I like a battlefield: Earth-ish scenario. However, I think the Dominion would be attacking the UED to claim their (rightful home). The Protoss are only there to fight the Zerg. However, we would still need an excuse for the dark templar to be on earth separate drom the protoss, cuz it would be unfair to have only one protoss-ish nation.

Maybe a few High Protoss (what's that other word?) tribes decided to follow Aldaris' example and break away, already on Earth?
Dominion would, ofcourse, attack UED as well. There will also be a few playale rebel groups, and maybe even Raynor's followers as well.

yup, templar. I wouldn't have known what word you were looking for, though.

Who's that Doran? (never knew the story of brood wars... anyone care to tell?)
And isn't Kerrigen just a Human-Zerg? how could she continue control the Zergs after the Overmind died? He was the brain of the Zergs after all and without a brain animals just stop... working... And Kerrigen by what I remember is no big brain... (just kinda smarter than the rest...)
Realy what did happand in Brood wars? Anyone got a place I could read the story?

That Protoss word, you know.
erez, I can't seem to find any site with Brood Wars storyline. Anyway, Kerrigan seems to somehow control the Zergs (most of them, anyway). Now that I thought of it, that does seem peculiar. Maybe she just controls an Overmind?
Duran seems to be either a Confederate officer who joined the UED (Earth's) invading fleet, later betraying it for the Zergs, either an ancient being, possibly from the Xel'naga days. Either way, he does seem to make great successes in creating an artificial hybrid species between Protoss and Zerg, and plans to, apparently, conquer the galaxy with it (probably so that Blizzard, if it ever starts work on SC II, will have a new villain).

Yes, erez, but we would probably put checks and balances in to make it fair...
...but then again...
...fair is word invented by losers.
and btw, I have a spin-off group of my own that might be put to use here, so you wouldn't be the only "special" person.
You know, I do wonder how Duran manages to capture protoss. That would be a long and tedious process...but maybe im just babbaling...

you mean Terrans. And they are the best. Protoss comes in at a close second. Zerg are so far behind its not even funny. No contest.
My spin-off group is a group of Umojans who met up with a couple rouge dark templar. Now they are Terrans with a few psionic technologies and the dark templar unit.

Xel'Naga should be represented. A few ships could have made it out of the Zerg onslaught.
Zergs are better than all for 1 reason: Huge amounts of Zerg creatures! Ugly looking and scary runing and kicking hmm eating your ass!

Protoss are the best. Not only do Carriers, High Templars and High Archons pwn all their Terran and Zerg analogs (especially the High Templars), but the Dark Archons can, if used correctly, nullify any advantage of the opposing race.

Wrong, Terrans are the one with the 1337 0wn4g3, the lockdown skill will stop any powerful air unit. (Read: Hotkeys, Lockdown, 12 Carriers in 2 seconds. Replay exists)
And as for the Archons- Do not make me laugh! EMP Wave! And then Siege Tanks with the megalithic range before the Darchon ever gets close enough for "nullification".
I won't even begin with the NUKES...

eh, nukes are only good against newbie protoss who build hundreds of turrets.
And carriers suck bad against bc's. Terran is the best, they are a nice moderate between the protoss (expensive=little units) and the zerg (inexpensive=many units).

Dark Archon+High Templar+Two Shuttles. One shuttle lands a high templar and distracts any ghosts, while the Dark Archon steals a SCV, and the shuttles leave with it. How's that?
Protoss are ideal against the Zergs. Zergs are ideal against Terrans. Terrans are ideal against Protoss. So the Protoss should, when facing Terrans, hijack a Zerg worker and see how the Terrans will do against a very large horde of zerglings or hydralisks.
Erik Mesoy, any powerful TERRAN OR PROTOSS air units. How exactly would they stop 12 Guardians, carefully bred/captured by the Protoss?
Anyway, I have to agree with Erez that the Hybrids are probably the strongest race. The problems will probably involve the prices and time needed to breed some of them.
By the end of Brood Wars, Duran already has some prototype Hybrids, so it is no longer a problem of finding the Protoss.
