Hi all! Just saying hi.

Hi everyone. I've played too much TA:FA by myself and I would really enjoy some quality multiplayer matches. I'm probabbly going to suck due to having played too much against the AI but I would appreciate some help.

I'm downloading the client and feel free to add me on steam if you'd like. My nickname is Arhurt.

Thanks and see you out there!

Played a couple matches.... damn I have so much to learn. Even on the games we won I was basically carried off and I was always on the bottom of the score track.

I'm finding it really hard to transition from T1 to T2 andf keep a healthy economy. The games I played I was always behind on units & tech. Any good guides on this? I'm watching replays but there's so much to learn!

There is no rule about when to go T2 other than "Go T2 if you are sure you dont die in the meantime" i guess. It is more important to have an idea what you want to do with your T2 or iwth more units while your enemy goes T2. Often, reaction can be easier than action, so esspecially in teamgames you dont really have to go T2 before your enemy does, if you do not plan to push him on T2.

And Don't go t2 if you have a "shitty" eco. I mean if you are -20 -200 don't go t2 or it will take years to reach it.


But the secret at the beginning is BO, because with a strong BO, you will snowball, I mean you will have a better eco than the ennemy it means you will up your eco faster, so you will have a stronger army and so on... x)

But anyways it's not only BO, there are lots of things to learn at the start... :/
A good way to improve is to always watch replay, why does he has a stronger army? why does he have a stronger eco? How many mexes does he have, do I have ? How many t2 mex does he have, and me? And so on...

Too many things to say.

And welcome !
