Newbie wants help :P

I just bought this game on a whim, not realizing there was so much strategy to it, and I'm interested

Is there a beginners guide anywhere that could show me some good techniques, or should I just hang out here and try to learn something?

[Pox]

There's no real comprehensive tactics guide that I know of, but there's plenty of other ways to learn - read the threads in this subforum is a good start, and watch some of the recordings from http://dedcon.homelinux.net/serverlogs/ to get some good ideas. You'll need to download dedcon to watch them, get it from http://dedcon.net.

Also try this thread. Just remember that some of the 'specific' strategies / techniques mentioned may be a little old and outdated now.

It's been a while since anyone actually arranged any games / help sessions off it, but a general read-through will certainly help.

Also just generally spectating a few games to get a 'feel' for how they're played, as well as of course playing yourself, as we learn far more through experience.

Cool

I already found Dedcon and got it working, so that seems pretty cool. I'll read through that stuff and spec some games tonight.

Thanks guys

[Peace and Love]

best way to improve is to play a lot of really good people over and over

at least that's what did it for me ><
