Tips on gameplay

Postby Gexern » 21 Mar 2013, 16:36

This is my 4th ladder game, and this is the first one where I feel that I should have played alot better. Any tips would be helpful!

But generaly I think that I went too much for tech when I should have gone for spam, and I had some power stall, but I thought I had it covered with the pgens.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: forgot to link gameplay!!

I would say you need to post the id of the replay or the replay itself

I have seen them, I am not looking for tutorials. I am looking for critique on my gameplay. But I can understand if you think it is too early and I should do some more games.

Like i said i go look it when i m back on my pc
But if you say it s your 4th laddergame i already lnow what i will most likely tell you

Build more factories
5pgens at the start and 2more per factory, more expanding
Commander more agressive, no t2 mexes etc

This is why i suggest everyone to have a look there

Your economy was not that bad, but the way you used your units...

- You must not run into an enemy army with weak long range units. Nor allow said army to catch up with said weak units.
- You needed more intel, a T1 radar is basically free, as are air scouts
- Use your ACU to kill stuff, even without upgrades it's worth around 20 tanks.

Finally: on small maps like this one, T1 spam works really well. Having an ACU with gun upgrade is also a good thing.

Looked at all those replays, helped alot! Watched some of them twice, going to try them out and get a feel of them!

Thanks for all the help! I'll probably post some more gameplay later.
