I'm much better at turn-based strategy games than RTS games. It's much easier when you can carefully plan.

@Bluespade: You been watching Koreans play SC 2? You might be better than you think. I remember one guy ragequitting in Red Alert 2 after I thwarted his early Rhino Rush with GGI-laden IFVs and a couple of Grizzlies.

Bluespade I've got SC 2 as well though I'm not very good.

I can't plan... period. Nor can I micro-manage at all

@Ace: Yeah, I've watched a lot of pro gaming, so that gives me a bit of an edge. I'm also real aggressive, which tends to give you an advantage, since you get the first damage in.

@Latenight: I go by Knine on Battlenet if you ever want to play. I am also not very good. Oh, but me and my bro use the name so if I say I don't know who you are it's him.

@Ginger: Trying thinking in flowcharts

There's an amusing Ken strategy in flowchart form that's been making the rounds on the Internet.

@Bluespade: I'm quite rusty since I haven't really played RTS games in quite a few years, lol.

The only RTS I was ever remotely good at was Total Annihilation. I loved T1 Peewee rushes. Once they started, it was difficult to stop without accruing heavy casualties.

I've got a copy of that right here. Should probably install it...

The only RTS that I was ever even halfway decent at was Age of Empires. And I haven't played that in years.

@Drenius: I favored Flash rushes and attempting to Commander-raid with a carryall, even though that's cheap. Also construction aircraft, dozens of them.

Elements of Gaming was fun for a fanfic :D

That's a common trope for swimming classes.

@Drenius: It's even better when you steal the other side's tech tree with the carryalls by reprogramming kidnapped construction vehicles, then turn their own tech against them :D Also Construction units all give small but significant amounts of metal and energy, so when you have 24 extra construction aircraft, that's a lot of spare production when idling. Also they can assist in speeding up building stuff in general.

RTS games are probably one of my favorite genres :D

Total War, all sorts of stuff.

The only strategy game I've played is Civilization IV. Oh, and Pirates, but that's a mix of genres.

@Ginger coincidentally Die or Fly

@Librarian I'm a fan of the Total War series as well.

#139024 Ace Of Scarabs Wed, 28th Mar '12 6:12:39 PM from Singapore

Don't worry, I'm not very good at micro either

I usually just run simple distraction tactics and macro like crazy instead

Yeah TA. Though I've never played the campaign, just versus against the computer.
