WC3: FT Communities...

I did play a custom game, the campaigns were kinda boring...so help? :P

I'm not one to speak about Warcraft, but in Starcraft I will give you one piece of advice: Don't focus that much on defense. You should scout to see what your opponent is doing and try to adjust it. Stop him from growing and expanding. Usually fast dropping works fine. Typically micromangement is vital to winning the game. Micromangement in Starcraft is much harder than most people give it credit for- you must macro- build at the same time while most likely managing several bases. Anyone who says you can just mass and kill without micro has yet to meet anyone good at the game. I'm very serious about that- the AI is nothing compared to better players. Hell, it's nothing compared to me. ;)

The AI suiciding to you actualy makes it easier. A normal enemy would see your mass defense, mass forces and expand. Without a mobile army, you are also vulerable to drop harassment. You would simply die to starvation or masses of tier 3 units. Mass defending does not make you friends in team games. ;) You would simply get wiped out one by one by the combined forces of 3 people. I'll be off to China until the 19th, but you could always meet me on b.net afterwards :)

I don't think it will pay to be passive in WC either. Imagine if your enemy slaughters all the creeps and takes all the gold mines. They could interrupt your creep killing as well. I do believe that's one of the key things of upkeep. You should lose units once in a while.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to kill the computer. ;)
