You'll also find plenty of videos, and can even look at some professional games (though the micro-intensive and wackier tactics from that level are difficult to execute so I don't recommend trying to actually replicate them). StarCraft 2 is the most active multiplayer RTS and as such there are actually a fair amount of online resources on strategy and the like. Sometimes you'll do the right things too slow, sloppy or late and it might feel unfair but the reality is you just didn't execute it well enough. Your speed, precision and economic efficiency have a huge impact on your results. Watching streams and YT can help you improve your knowledge faster.įinally don't underestimate the importance of mechanics. That being said, it's not like being aggressive always kills a teching opponent, you need to know the game to be effective and that can take some time and experimenting. Be decisive and sensible with your decisions, don't start making very expensive units on a low economy or invest a little into army and then into tech and then into economy, try to get your playstyle streamlined with a certain goal in mind.

Vice versa if you are teching or investing in economy, you'll want to keep an eye on the army and tech of the opponent and make sure you can deal with what he has by the time it gets to you, otherwise you'll get caught with your pants down.

If you make army and don't do damage, a player who's teching or investing in economy will get ahead. Investing in army means you need to use it to either defend or attack a player who's teching or expanding, however you need to know when and what they're vulnerable to. I play mostly Starcraft 2 but the concept applies to many if not all RTS games: There is a tradeoff that lies at the base of everything in the game, you can either choose to invest into army, economy or technology.
