For RTS fans

I'm just curious about people favorite style of playing a RTS game around here :)

By style, I mean rushing, defensive, etc.. basically your way of play it

So, what is yours?

I probably am a turtle/economic freak. I have tried to rush, but I can never recover from the initial wounds. Being an econ. freak, I can build a huge strong army, given that the opponent doesn't succeed in rushing me. :)

this probably isn't a good method to online seems how I suck online.

I mainly expand, but force the enemy on the offensive anyhow.

If possible, I favour a slow expansion with a heavy buildup of defenses.

Always focus on economy and defenses first. I'd like to survive and pull out the big guns. On starcraft I'm usually fast enough that I can have single upgraded Dragoons and Fast zealots by the time everyone is done rushing and recovering.

Economy & Defence first.

Then I attack & destroy the opponent.

So I guess I am a turtle who expands before rush out to the enemy.:D

Im a mix. Sometimes I rush, mostly just tech-up(turtle, expand, raise eco to new heights) and mainly just Steamroll.

Economic and defender - seems to be the general mode of playFandangle

yeah this is me. I always get owned by rushers in the beginning but long games are always mine.

I know this is an old thread, but it's a good one.

I always try to research all the technologies for whichever type unit I decide to go with.

For example, if I decide to go with the swordsman in a game, I research every technology that applies to making them better, like armor and weapon strength and every single upgrade specific to it or that significantly affects it (except for the monk techs from AOE II).

I get to the most advanced age and THEN I start building an army.

Pretty much the opposite of rushing, if you will.

I then build up a gigantic army of these elite highpowered swordsman and go on a big, decisive, bloody rampage.

This only really works against the computer-players on easy difficulties. Online, I get smoked, so I've had to tweak my play style to avoid getting pwned.

EDIT: I put "expander," by the way.

depends which game I'm playing.

Age of Empires 2, SupCom Economy with priorities on defense.

Starcraft, Dow, Warcraft3, Rusher seems to work best in those games.

Yeah. I suppose I turtle then.

I really have to change my strategy if I want to think about going online again. lol. I get my a$$ kicked everytime.

I'd be willing to change the strategy. It's no fun if you can only defeat easy mode over and over again.

Oh and wait untill you are on the most adavnced age for only then start to build an amry, is just another form of saying suicide :PAdrianstalker

Yeah, I learned that the hard way. My opponents always tell me not to do that if I ever want a chance at winning.

Depends a whole lot about who or what I play with/against (race wise)

I do not have one thing I prefer, which is good, if people finds out you prefer one way of fighting in an RTS, youll be down in the dirt fast, with whats left of your base.

I suppose I usualy do a rush for strategic locations on maps, and wait for my team (I never play 1 on 1) to load up and sending support, to aid the push.
