Mentors!

How about a mentoring system for the nubs? I can't play ranked in any large map without getting utterly confuzzled.

i liked the replay reviews at gamereplays.org and hope something similar will be implemented here.

good players could comment replays of players and give advice.

Good Idea Zock!
Maybe we can make a "Tactic" Thread where we discuss some Themes like:
"How to upgrade your Mexxies in the right way"
"When soul'd I build EXP"
"Fight upgrade vs. Tech upgrade"
"Micromanagement of Air/Sea/Land Units"

Just some inspirations...
I Like public discussions about the Strategic ways how to win a game.. Of course we need a Moderator who censors the whole flaming Posts!

From observing noobs. It seems one of the biggest difficulties is the big variability in economy from one map to the next. It seems the best way for a noob to learn is to play the same 2 or 3 maps over and over and see what it means to have a nice economy. A lot of times players get thrown around different maps trying to apply what worked before and failing, this stuns the learning progress. Maybe people have ideas about how to fix this, like a noob ranked ladder with only 3 maps.(that would require more noobs of course)

We can always do more noobcasts.
I've done an intro to FA one (This is your ACU, these are resources, these are upgrades), but nothing on actually how to play.
If some of the better players want to get together with me and do some, We can easily get that done.

I always wanted to try myself in casting something, and this would be a great to start from.
Maybe one day I will work up the courage :?

One of the most popular idea is a co-cast with Maverick.
