First build your Lem at your aluminium, sooner or later at least, it will give you resources faster. Second why do you make an armory so early? At least compare to Logistic Center, you need those upgrades from Center to harvest money 2x faster, trucks 2x faster and other one too asap, in total you would get more than double economy, its like more than double refineries. Then I don't like how players queue up all their buildings, barrack, factory units all at same time, e.g if you want to capture the bank, just let barrack make 6 marines without stop, so you would capture it asap and would get few extra dollars for doing sooner. Another example you wanted to do timing attack with 3 tanks with some rpgs, but you had to wait so much extra time for all to finish. But anyway if you do first attack, I suggest you to attack his expansions better, more likely you will do quite a bit of damage, otherwise with such a slow attack as you experienced it was a fail attempt. I would have preferred actually either you capture other two middle banks asap or even capture his bank at his base by having 1-2 snipers, 4 rpgs and then you loaded them into his bank and attack his refinery from there, isn't this way is better, he will lose his bank, marines and maybe even a refinery? Your main problem as I mention that you just queue everything at same time and not expand as you should, you need to expand aggressive, don't sit at your main and make all buildings, army with low eco. Your Helipad was way too early, first get good eco, more tanks to control map and then you can think about making helipad and guardians. Other guy expanded so much quite fast, he had middle, his left side before you had even any other expansions, so this is the biggest reason that you have lost. I really liked how you was clearing his main bank with your snipers and then moving around with them and confusing your opponent where to find your snipers, that was cute. Ok about later in the game, I don't suggest you by attacking his captured buildings with your guardians, they take forever to clear the building and you will show him that you are making guardians, as you noticed he already had air and what you basically telling him to make anti air raptors and ''please kill me my guardians'' by making more raptors. With few tanks and few guardians you will not be able to do much, so better hide guardians, make bigge army and then try to surprise him. It was nice nuke by you, he destroyed his administrate buildings which he already had and also air control centers. But after your 1-2nukes, you can't expect him to keep allow you to do that, you should be smarter and stop trying to win a game just with nukes(he just denied them), try to win a game with your army control and good eco You need to learn quite a bit from your opponent: 1. Expand more 2. Get map control, that's what he did by expanding and capturing buildings with rpg's
Those two things seems so simple but actually one of the most important aspect of the game (or any game actually) Your biggest mistake was by attacking him too often and not having enough units to counter his air force, what you had to do is making much more blazers, so they will help your guardians stay alive and you will kill his air and not lose all your tanks.
I think you like to be aggressive which is good, makes game more fun to play and watch, but you need to think more about what he is making and how you going to counter it, not just blindly making units and keep attacking him, hope it helps, GG
Wow. I learned a lot from this. Thanks for the enlightenment. The main reason I kept building and queuing up the tanks was because i'm not used to sitting around and doing nothing. I want to queue everything so that I wont forget it later but you're right man. This game is different from Generals.
And also the main reason I went nuke (I really hate superweapons, it's a coward move for me) was because he was investing a lot from planes. I mean cmon. By planes I think your micro skills wont improve by simply placing an order to a plane, compared to micro-ing units like strykers and guiardians etc. I don't know what exact word to say but his style was being defensive or gay? HAHA. Since from the title of the game itself "act of AGGRESSION" I was trying to bring out the fun by rushing and constantly harassing him but still failed. furthermore, bold move for him by centralizing on air units. GG. Still loving this game though !
No no, Sw is fine if you feel that will help to beat a guy who dodges to fight straight, but you should not rely on them too much, anyway its just an idea for future, after 1-2 nukes better invest for bombers or for more units I agree its not as fun its a little annoying to play vs camping styles, maybe you not used to deal vs it, the idea is to outmacro your opponent and harass him as you can but try to do it safely, like don't go to his main base just with medium army and expect to end the game, he just destroys your army and you hardly do any damage, what I would prefer to capture his middle bank, establish control in there and get map control, then you just make right units to counter his units, in this case you don't really need guardians, they are expensive and are they good vs air? I guess not Mostly your army should have had a lot of Blazers to counter his air and few tanks to destroy his refineries etc. But also I'm aggressive player myself, I tend to do exactly same mistakes, try to kill my opponent asap and if he holds without taking too much damage then I'm so behind, but I'm learning too haha
Gave this a watch and it's actually pretty entertaining I wont leave a review as Fargo has kindly left some very useful tips already. As seems to be the case with this game it has a slow start and takes a while to get going but 15 minutes in there are lots of units on the field everywhere along with nukes and patriot missiles.
Anyone looking to watch this: Entertainment Value 7/10
