Graphics and user interface are not sure.

The answer lies in the immense complexity of the game, which arise despite only about 12 units per race. Because each unit has different game modes which must also know how to benefit a player. So in a (upscale) game Terran versus Zerg be used on the part of the Terrans completely different units, as in a Terran vs Protoss. And a respective adjustment to the opponent's strategy, no matter what breed is also required.
The most important aspects of the multiplayer are scouting because skills like camouflage and dropships are fast to the death of the ignorant, the expansion, because without the fast harvested resources you stand fast on under economic pressure, the card check that a player the quicker and riskless Expand the opponents actually granted, and the fret down an opponent through a variety of variants, the economy desselbigen to attack in order to gain the supremacy at the end of several battles and defeat the enemies.
It should be noted that infamous tank, as the wins Rushes ala Command and Conquer with most units fail.
