Answer 1

The best advice I can give you is to pick once race and stick to it. You'll become experienced with play, and get better over time, but theres really no other way to become godlike.

They key to all play is determined by your resource usage at the very start.

You can rush, by building a few small attacking very early, building an early defense to stop rushes, build additional workers to increase production flow...

You can go straight minerals and ignore vespene, or start gathering vespene early to build more advanced units.

With Terran, you can go ground units, or artillery. In regular SC, you don't have medics, so you'll build a lot of marines, and a few firebats.

If you go machinery, get seige tanks, and make sure you research seige mode. Protect your tanks with a horde of marines, or they become very vunerable to air and close range attackers like zerglings or zealots.

Trying to go air is very expensive, risky, and time consuming, but if you can get a large enough fleet built up, you'll rain chaos on your enemys. Air units have the benefit of all being able to fly on top of each other and attack at the same time, and unlimited moveability on the map, whereas ground units get clustered at choke points, and only the front lines may attack. Battlecruiser and either wraith/valk (if valks are in reg SC) mix for terran.

Protoss, you'll generally try and flood dragoons, and throw in a few groups of zealots. If you go air, get carriers and scouts together. Reg starcraft doesn't have corsairs.

Zerg is all about numbers. 'Zerging' means you flood your enemy with units. Ground, you'll wanna go Hydras with a few groups of lings. IF you go air, go mutas with scourge.

Remember if you can stealth, do it. Stealth is an incredible ability, but take out any and all detectors first.

Stuff like nukes and utralisks may seem attractive but they're just resource drainers. You won't get as much out of them as you put into them except on very rare occasions.

Remember that certain units have reduced damage vs certain size units. Dragoons get reduced damage vs small units, ghosts get reduced damage vs medium/large units, etc etc. Look in your manual for specifics.

Just play around for awhile, goof around, and find which play style suits you, because in the end, its all down to how you can play most effectively.
