Another newbie thread

Where's the sticky for beginners?

Build orders

hot key assignments (using 0 for town hall because it's above "P" for peon/peasant)

unit control (do players just click across the map or send their units somewhere click by click?)

general strategies (how much sight does a tower have, nate formation) etc.

What claw post is pretty good but if you dint find what your looking for your second option is to ask it yourself here and someone gonna answer you.

[SmurfKinG]

just dont ask equinox cuz hes gonna say its hopeless to learn cuz its hackland!!

[Nox]

Actually im gonna be happy to learn you if you dont hack and you really want to learn, dont listen smurfking, he is a poor customer players since ten years who never get into the pro, probably because he try to spit on peoples likes me!

Nice if you miss some of them you can actually know them easily by in game, every units or building are write in game, if you look closely you will see there always a letter in bright yellow colors wich mean it's the hotkey your lookin for.

Also, my best advice for you are this one's.

The best way to improved in this game is actually by this way.

Learn every hotkeys soon as possible.

Get yourself a good setting to play this game, it mean a good desktop, a good chair, a good mouse, a good keyboard, be confortable when you play, If your not confortable from start your gonna learn everything badly.

Take more times to watch ONLY pro players instead of losing your times with game who mean nothing.

Actually OLD GOW EF is the map you need to learn, dont waste your time on other map for now and dont waste your time with peoples who will play bad and learn you bad.

Try to know who are the best players, most of them have special icons in game like profi, sware, master, but it dont really mean they are all good.

If you join a game they will ban you most of time... Don try to lie or dont try to be invisible, just tell your new and you want to learn.

Keep asking your question in this thread, also if you see me in game dont be scare to talk at me.

[stevebrock]

Idk what the differecnes are between most classic, bne, and aie. i saw the old gow and it's really stupid how it is set up and i dont want to have to look throw all the maps just to find a decent one.

what do you means dont be invisible? is there a way to watch games?

[Nox]

Actually classic are the map from the original warcraft II 1995, bt net are the same as 1995 but a little bit modified.

The difference between them is about starting position, most of the classic map are harder to play, Harder to close your base on classic map or harder to defend against alot of different kind of attack compare to bt net one's wich they modify exactly to be easier to closed and defend.

[stevebrock]

I know but the start positions were really bad and i jsut want to click a map and be able to play it. Do you know where I can see the maps? i am using pudbrowser because the map editor from this site didnt work

[Nox]

You already tell your two best options but here one more.
