Considering our last gorky game, maybe you should add a point about teledefence

If this is not a troll post then I appreciate that you are trying to help.

However you could of gone about it in a better and much less condescending manner.
Also, from someone who heeds "pro tips", this stuff is not helpful to noobs, most of this is minor gameplay things, there are much more important things that are completely overlooked by noobs that are not here. Also scouting every FIVE minutes will get you tml'd or killed, that is way too long.

Lastly, to be quite frank, the layout and presentation of this post hurts my eyes.

I appreciate the effort that you put into this.

A more positive title will give more positive results. Perhaps something in the line of "advanced tactics"...or just simply changing it too "useful tips and tricks".

There is no reason to propagate toxic attitudes. No one will gain any knowledge by repeatedly calling them stupid in a thread where you wish to impart knowledge. This is not a direct or frank approach that you are taking, this is simply being disrespectful.

TBH, this "experienced player tells you to do something" shouldn't really be on this list, considering how certain people "cough HZH cough" get told things like an experimental is building, an experimental is moving, ON VOICE CHAT and they STILL manage to take it to the face.

I'll add on mex adjacency.
4 t1 land factories adjacent to t1 mex give you 1.2 mass discount when you build most of t1 units. If you have 12 - that's 3.6 mass. Almost 2 t1 mexes or almost difference between t2 and t1 mex. In cost of nothing but good base design.

4 t2 land factories adjacent to t2 mex give you 0.9 mass discount per factory which is 3.6 total when you build t2 tanks. 4 t1 storages around t2 mex give you 3 mass total. 0.8 mass discount for rangebots, hover tanks, flak and most of other units. 3.6>3. But you need to spend additional resources and time to build storages, while factories is the thing you will have any way.

4 t3 land factories adjacent to t3 - that is already questionable efficiency. You get 3 mass discount per factory when you build raid bots, othuums, t3 maa and Percy/Brick. Same as you would get from having storages around mex*. Building harbs from that adjacency gives you 2 mass oer factory = inefficient.

Adjacency is a good thing, it allows optimisation.

But surrounding a hydroplant with energy storage is OTT.

Sending engineers to reclaim the mass in a base of a recently deceased team mate. Let the person who can actually win the game do it.
Better yet, send the engineers and gift them.
Better yet, why not just gift your whole base to him?

Building air experimentals without air control is a terrible idea.

Monkeylords are not line breakers.
Monkeylords are not line breakers
Monkeylords are not line breakers.

If you die to Mercies or gunships, its your own god damn fault. Build more flak.

If t3 air is pinged and you insist on running around in the open and die to strats, you only have yourself to blame.

If a commander is pinged that is heading towards you, and no one else is chasing it, DO NOT ENGAGE IT WITH YOUR VANILLA ACU.

Pillars may not be threatening individually, but they often come in dozens. No, your face is not strong enough against the WSL spam.

If the enemy is trying to play "catch the nuke" and it's their turn to throw, try not to catch it with your face. Ever.

Your upgrade is unlikely to be worth the HP you're utilising to gain it when you're under artillery fire. Press S to cancel it, and walk away before you die.

If your ally dies to mercies or beetle drops, try not to continue leeroying into the enemy lines and assuming the same wont happen to you. It will. And you will look 10x more stupid than the ally who died before you. Who is already stupid to begin with.

Beetles look cute, but please don't hug them.

When your acu is being bombed with janus and or corsairs, the correct way of dodging is NOT running inbetween all your buildings.

All i can think of at the moment.

I spent like 5 hours to make this tutorial at first time, almost 2 to change somethings in this version.
I really sorry by my English, i'm a brazilian, i'ts hard to me, at brazil the education is not the priority of the government. I learned english by myself.

If u can learn something, CONGRATULATIONS..... I made my job.
I don't wanna be a politically correct. I hate this kind of people. I wanna to call noobs with they are, noobs!
When u are very polite, people don't change his confort zone.
I wanna to see few noobs very nervous to learn more and more and more, and perhaps in a far far away future, they can call me and say: U ARE WRONG IN THAT FKG POINT.
It's my WISH...

Soooo... If u dissagre with something, u can contribute with good arguments to change better, thx for your comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About Adjacency bonus:

Why the cake is a lie??? Almost everyone here play maps 2x2,3x3,4x4,5x5... Sooo u save more time and produce more mass with mexes and storages.

Make a test, i realize them few times building 4 factories arround each mex, your unit production was don't saving mass.
0,3 with each? i need to make 4 factories with adjacency to get 1,2 of mass. It's ridiculous because when u jump to t2 and make storages, your production jumps 50%.... Soooo much better than that adjacency!

It's the reason that i say, "it's little usefull at fast maps, 1x1 games.
Is that not at all what is controversial about this recommendation?

Well as a noob I have been reading the forums as much as I can, especially any threads that mention tips or mistakes for noobs. And I appreciate the time you more experienced players have spent helping guys like me. Jaggedappliance took the time to watch my most recent replay and give me some dos and don'ts. So this kind of thread is helpful for someone like me trying to avoid basic mistakes

could be written a little bit better and with correct numbers, but i reckon that some part of this might make it into the wiki, especially the writing style.

good job, keep it up, and excuse you!
