Hey, there Gamespot! I'm new on the forum and I'd like to request some material or tips on how to get better at RTS games in general. I suck badly, but I really like them. The only RTS-like game I'm semi-pro at would be Dota1. Which I play on Garena so I'm still not that great. Heard that you need to do around 200 actions a minute to be good. I do around 10-20. I play Warcraft III, Starcraft, Age of Empires II,III and I fail at all of them. Help?
To start with, DotA is not an RTS. You only control one character and level it up, gather gold, get items. It looks more like an RPG imo. A team RPG to be more precise. Second, you don't need high APM, but 10-20 is certainly bad. One action per second is good enough, it is more important to use the right strategy, the right type of units according to your opponent.... Here are some tips for you: - Train as many gatherers as it is possible to use them efficiently. In starcraft never stop making them. Expand in other bases and gather even more resources, and so on. -Use the resources, don't keep them. It is bad if you are losing a Starcraft 2 match and you still got 6000+ minerals. Train troops, learn upgrades, make more barracks and factories and train even more troops. You should never stop from doing these things. -You need to understand how the rock-paper-scissors thing really works, why marines and hellions are effective against zerg and why marauders are not so good. -Watch some videos about the strategies used, like the wall-in for terrans. I hope you get the point and understand how to play any RTS, not only for terrans in starcraft 2 as i mentioned here.
