Sadly, Beru, is that you are now learning the very basic of Terran’s gameplay. Except for a few things here and there, they are…. well, the same as they were over 10 years ago (slightly stronger IMHO).

But heck, if you played Starcraft original + the expansion Brood War back then, you won’t be that lost.

What I suggest is, get into the lore of Starcraft. Of course it isn’t as rich as the Warcraft one can be, but that’s hell of a good story line.

Starcraft is the game of game that you learn to love. Aren’t people playing the same game for over 10 years now? Name me a game that could achieve such a popularity.

Blizzard does make mistakes, but boy, can they make kickass stuff!

“Battlecruiser operational and Lok’tar ogar” is all you need.

As I get reaquainted with the RTS, I do OK. I had my ass handed to me a couple of times last night for making poor decisions, but all in all, I think I’m trucking through alright

I actually figured that you would be pretty good at Starcraft since it’s mostly about APM and you are always crazy high on the healing meters.

But it definitely seems to me that not many females like to play that game.

That first mission reminds me of one of the old Warcraft II missions that plagued me for days. It was in the human campaign, the second-last level in the game. You had to travel through tight, convoluted river passages aboard 5-6 defenseless transport boats, fighting off Horde forces and guard towers and whatnot, and safely get a special Human (it was probably Lothar or Turalyon, or maybe Uther) to safety on the opposite end of the map.

I tried it countless times, but every time I landed along the river to disembark and fight, the Horde forces would just decimate me and whittle down my forces. It became extremely frustrating.

Finally, one day I decided “eff it” and just blitzed through the entire level, never stopping to fight, defend myself, or take any sort of precautionary measure. Of my transport ships, all but one were destroyed and sank. The one remaining one? By chance, it was the one carrying my hero, and somehow it survived long enough to dump him on the shore where he scurried to safety.

So…even back then, sometimes the best use of your troops…is bait.
