II. Introduction

Hey there, I'm El Sabotender, and this would be my first-ever FAQ.
I got the idea for this guide from MunkiBleedsGreen, and his fabulous
Warcraft III Unit Quote Guide. Since Blizzard's two earlier RTS games,
Starcraft and Warcraft II, also have these "pissed off" quotes built into
them, I felt the need to document them.
