In general, building Roaches is fairly safe against all races. So which units is easy to play and are good against all. When you get the hang of this, try out some basic build orders from the internet, like a Roach Timing or Baneling busts. This means that you focus on your main base, and build structures from there. Instead of trying out complicated builds from the internet, start out by doing a 1 base build. I have been playing StarCraft since the release of StarCraft 1.įirst off I will recommend that you play both campaigns, WOL and HOTS.Īfter the release of HOTS, Blizzard implementad training missions and minor missions to learn about the mechanics of the game - you should do these.īut Zerg is often a balance between making drones and making units.Īs you are new to the game. TIP: Play your 5 placement matches when you access HOTS, and then take some unranked matches for you to get used to your league. You can have players who have never played StarCraft before, and get placed in Gold or Platinum. My point is that its difficult to compare the AI to the Ladder. The fact that you can beat the AI on the hardest setting, simply means you have a broader understanding of the game mechanics, as an AI on Very Hard is harder to beat, which makes you better than you where when you started out.Īny player who didn't start out by playing versus an AI will as a minimum get into Bronze league.īut a player who played versus the AI, is more likely to know more about game mechanics, which could place that player in a higher league - because that player, will beat the player with lesser understanding of the game mechanics. Playing against the AI, is solely for you to slightly improve your own skills, and trying out a variety of builds. The only way you can get better is to play versus a human, and adapt to the different scenarios / builds on the Ladder. The AI acts in an already programmed way, which makes it easy for the human to adapt. Playing against the AI on various difficulties is actually incomparable to playing against a human. The level also gets exponentially harder the longer you wait to gather as the protoss will have more units sent to attack as well as sealing off multiple canisters at the same time so it is in your best interest to be aggressive and grab the canisters early. If not it buys you enough time to get your army back if they are not in base. On insane I toss in a few goliaths to help with the void rays and scouts that they send out as well.Ī few missile turrets as well as a bunker at the top of the ramp is almost enough defense to hold off any attack they send at you. Then try to keep your money low by constantly making marines and medics.

You need to be making constant SCVs until you have full saturation (minimum 2 SCVs per mineral patch and 3 per gas, unless you have the auto refinery). They key is a mobile army as you need to deny them from sealing off cansiters as well. However, that said, everything up to hard can be beaten by just making mass marines and medics. It depends on the difficulty you have it on and what upgrades.
