Btw, warning: since we'll be playing on iCCup unless just people who can play on Bnet are on, remember that iCCup only allows official maps and iCCup tournament maps. This means Fastest Money Map, Zero Clutter, Micro Jail Fastest and the like are not allowed. We'll have to do with regular maps, altough it's the real Starcraft after all. I'm not as great on non UMS/money maps but I should be able to challenge people anyway I guess

really? Mhmm strange. I was certain only their maps were allowed? Or maybe it's just for ladder games. Idk. I guess we just need to try choosing a map we want and if it doesn't work then oh well.

awsome thats great to here dj and every one ty i might be able to play yonight depends on how long we stay at our friends house

and yeah what race is good for begginers X.x i have no clue X.x

Altough I personally found it easier to go with Protoss for a while at first, I think that Terran is a pretty good race to start with because it acts as a bridge between all other RTSes. Notice how many of its buildings and units have the same names as in other RTSes like Command And Conquer for example. PLus since they're human-based, It's easier to get used to. Now the only problem that comes is that there are so many level upgrades to do and when you have lots of SCVs building stuff at once, you can no longer keep up with all of the ones that finishes, especially when building a lot of supply depots. This causes many SCVs to end up idle because you forgot them. The defense is also poor at the beginning. TO make bunkers functional you have to train marines and the like, which takes a lot of units. For long range defense, you have to use siege tanks, which also takes units, so if you have a lot of ground defense, you waste a lot of unit slots out of your max of 200. That said, marines are pretty good at defending against early Zergling rushes, providing you have enough of them, plus you can lift your buildings to keep them out of reach of early Protoss and Zerg attacks.

With protoss, you got fewer defense/attack upgrades to do than Terran, making it easier to plan ground-only strategies, but units takes more ressources and air units have a lot more abilities to learn than Terran. Also Protoss has the best defense (Photon Cannons can defend against both ground and air attacks), plus when you build, you only need one single worker as he doesn't need to stay next to the building under construction.

With Zerg, this is a totally different concept. It can take a while to get used to it but once you do (if you do) I find them pretty easy to use, because the tech tree is easier to remember and climb. What I like with them is that all units are built from one single place and drones can send minerals and gas to any hatchery. So if your main hatchery is destroyed, the drones will just go to the next one (if you have one right next). Zerg defense isn't too great against ground units, though, altough unlike Terran, it doesn't waste any unit slot. Also with Zerg when you do a building the drone morphs into it, meaning you lose your drone.

But yeah, I think Terran might be a good race to start with, especially if you're used to other RTSes involving modern or futuristic wars

well i got it set up finnaly and were gonna be playing soon ish i think so he can start to teach me to play and i personnaly see no reason y you all cant join so lets go
