The Protoss Conclave - Units and Stuctures
Forge
The Forge is where the Protoss enhance their ground weapons, ground armor, and all plasma shields. These upgrades are all very time-consuming and rather expensive and increase performance only marginally in most circumstances. For these reasons, you should delay constructing a Forge until your defenses have already been established. Know that a Forge is required before you can build Photon Cannons, though early on, Photon Cannons are primarily useful for cloak-detecting purposes rather than base defense.

Prioritize Ground Weapons upgrades above all else. Your Zealots, Dragoons, and Archons all greatly benefit from upgraded weapons. Armor upgrades are of far lesser import, and expensive Plasma Shield upgrades less important still. If resources permit, though, you will want to upgrade to maximum in every category, and to this extent, you may construct multiple Forges, each of which may work toward one of three upgrades simultaneously. You'll need a Templar Archive before you can research second- and third-level weapons and armor.
