Request: Strategy Section

Postby Fernest » 04 Jun 2014, 01:06

A new forum regarding strategy would be nice so people can discuss/learn/refine strategies, share builds, learn the current metagame, etc.

If arranged orderly it could be very useful.
My proposition of Subforums:
-Strategy
----Units/Factions (e.g. "What's the best ASF out there?", "How do I counter xy?")
----Builds/Economy (e.g. "Theory of economy vs military growth", "How to get that 8 minute monkeylord?")
----Advanced Strategy (e.g. "How to make successful drops using diversion?", "Methods to snipe ACUs or economy.")
----Teamplay-Hints (e.g. "Sharing engineers across factions? When? Why?", "Continentals with deceiver and full of Fobos?")
----Maps (a subforum containing X subforums about most played maps)
-------Seton's (e.g. "How to play front?", "...")
-------Rohan ("...")
-------SomeOtherMap
-------other

Why?
Player could become better players.
In-depth strategies can be discussed (like _really_ in-depth)
It's fun to nerd out strategies and their counters.
It is less cluttered than before.

What do you think?

Very very very specific subforums -> you will only get 1 thread discussion in it -> not needed.
Dont get the wrong idea that people will magically start to fill it with content. They will be just dead.

Try posting in either the "help me I'm a newby" section or here in general discussions. People don't use the "newby" section nearly as much as they should (come on now, really guys? I am 100% positive you can find at least one thing good that you didn't know already if you are 1000 rank or less). I think that would be a great place to throw around ideas on strategies, as some of the top players regularly browse that forum to answer questions and help out. You might get good critiques or suggestions that will help you improve your idea.

The content OP wants to see in subforums probably fits better on a Wiki and they are also filled by users :)

I'd love to see the return/updating of the wiki. I've heard that people tried and the wiki got reverted by people playing steam or something.
