Sae,

So you would go with a tech race instead of building appropriate defenses as you tech up? My Zerglings, Zealots, or Space Marines would be raping your base in no time!

Ok, so I prefer the long game too but while building up to the inevitable Guardian group with a couple groups of Mutalisk air defense I always scout the map with my Overlords so I know what is being done in the other camp and if I saw that you were teching up I would certainly pwn you with a Zerg rush even though I prefer to tech up myself.

I also like a good Protoss Zealot rush, but prefer to build up to Carriers with defending Scouts and a few Corsairs to tie up ground to air defenses.

When playing a Terran player and my army is the Zerg it is really fun to toss a couple groups of Zerglings at the Terrans to get the player to believe I am going to rush. They usually respond by mass producing Siege Tanks. There is nothing more fun than flying a full group of Guardians OVER their Tanks to decimate their base!

Now to apply Starcraft theory to the real world. Nations all over the planet are trying to tech up but realize the inherent weakness in not covering defenses with a mobile ground force so they feel the need to build up whatever tech they have now while researching higher levels of technology.

I can't friggin' wait for Starcraft II. It looks like it will be an awesome game with many layers of tactics.

Ich Lieber Blizzard!

Hehe, that has happened before. Usually I build a dragoon force of 5-6 to support a trio of photon cannons supported by twin pylons. I am terribly weak to a well played zerg rush before the last of my dragoons are up... but after the very beginning of the game: I dominate.

Thats why you focus on immediate defenses in the beginning, and hastily upgrade them past this point. I just love that about Starcraft: you can play any strategy, and still come out on top if you do it well enough By the middle game, I usually have the most powerful base (almost impervious to attacks, unless I am ganged up on)... and have expanded my base enough with photon cannons and dragoons that overlords who come to close get annihilated

I hate siege tanks, fyi... Toward the end-game I start a multi-base defensive expansion... and siege tanks cause me more pain than I would like (how ever briefly before they are destroyed by zealots or my airforce). lol at fake-zerg tactic ^_^

Anyway, applying it to the real world: depends on your location. Whateveristan and friends? I'm going to give up and run away Though it would be a dream to hold someplace secluded from conflict like Iceland or New Zealand.

bah, RTS sucks.

TBS is also awesome ^_^ The original Master of Orion... how I wish they would remake that game and improve its AI in just a few little ways and give the Mrrshans, Darlok, and other non-runaway empires a little more umph ^_^ The biggest flaw I ever found with it was that the AI didn't know how to use speed to its advantage. And it was a shame that you had to scrap ship models sometimes... esp. with a huge-ship design philosophy The Psilon are ridiculously game-breakingly OP though... encounter them on impossible while playing anything but the Klackon or Meklar and you've pretty much gotten screwed. Even then: you are in for one hell of a game.

Civilization Revolution is really fun as well I think the AI might be perfect... but the reliance on RNG on deity difficulty is terrible.

Anyway, RTS and TBS are fun gametypes for some of us... it's all subjective I particularly enjoy Tower Defense type games... gemtowerdefense.com is one that has had me coming back for years.
