lo,

i'm new to wc3 and rts in general having played CS for 18 months and laterly DAoC for the past 4 months.

i have to say im finding it a bit tuff - even against the AI - there doesnt seem to be too much in the options to turn down to help me a bit.

as for online, well forget it - most custom game state ' NO n00bs ' and even if they dont im gettin hammered - not just beaten - buttraped !!

i know - practise, practise, practise.... but has any1 got any tips / pointers for a struggling newbie?

i luv the game, just wish i was better at it

cheers, thx.

ps. i hope sum1 reads this - this forum looks alarmingly unused.

I decided to bite the bullet and ordered this a few days ago. Planning to beat the single player, then play a few tcp/ip games against friends before I try out bnet. Will probably start out with 1v1 bnet games so I can't fook it up for any of my allys...

We don't want a repeat of my starcraft debut. That was a 4v4 game and I decided to build a ton of sunken colonies outside my base while I teched up. My allys started getting killed and started calling me names like "suck shit brown". Took me a while to recover from that but I got good eventually.

Was mean to arrive today, gutted :(

thx for the tips ppl -

when you get the game, if you wanna tcp/ip game, post on here and we can get a 1 v 1 sorted.

that way we'll be upsetting no1 but will have real opposition.

cheers, thx.

Yeah that sounds good.

Might take me a while to complete the single player though, considering the speed I'm getting through NWN (bought it at release and just finished chapter 1!). Although I do think that game is total turd.

Got the game yesterday and just failed my first mission. The one on the undead campagin where you have to defend the guy summoning the demon. He died with 9 seconds left on the clock :(

I couldn't find a direct connect multiplay option which is a shame, but we could try and get a game going on battlenet. I'm a poosay and don't want to get my ass kicked first time round, so I reckon we should play some co-ops versus the cpu.

Gimme a shout if yer interested. I hear it's best to play on the US servers as the european ones have been invaded by Koreans.

You: Hi
Ally: ^^
You: Korean?
Ally: ^^
You: Argh.

You'd probobly get your arse kicked from the CPU as theres no difficulty setting.
Battle.net does a match-up system which means you only (unless theres no-one else to play) play people of a similar skill. Even works for 2v2/3v3/4v4 and FFA :)

You're quite right

It is goddam hard isn't it? I have managed to scrape to Level 8 and it's started to get really hard now. A friend and I have been doing co-operative two player games and that is harder still. We just get raped. I keep coming back for more though.

P.S. It was all Gohadien's fault that we lost in 2v2 ;)

I take it you mean Arranged Team?
Yeah thats fucking hard. I think it's because people make teams, their level goes to 1, even if they are both level 16. It sucks so much :(

Arranged team

We're getting the hang of this arranged team stuff now though. It took almost 15 minutes for the bastards to ass-burgle us yesterday. One day we may win a game through something other than Link Death. Ph34r the mighty Spec and Gohad.

Ive never been a fan of the Arranged Team Game bit, but I do go on play game a lot. The trouble with Play Game is that if say a level 10 guy creates a new account you could be playing him. For you n00bs I reccomend practicing on a bad account name, going on play game and getting better, then creating a new account.
