Introduction:

Starcraft 2 strategy isn't easy. Who said it was? Still, there are a few ideas that novice or beginner players should bear in mind. Before too long, you can be a pro player of this science fiction computer game.

Learn the Concepts

Before you can master a Starcraft 2 strategy, you should become familiar with the basic ideas behind this RTS computer game. It features 3 races: Protoss, Zerg and Terran. Each strives for galactic domination or the defeat of their enemies. They all have unique advantages and disadvantages. The goal of any given match up is to destroy the enemy army by: harvesting minerals and gas (money), constructing buildings, creating a military force and using it in combat. When the enemy has no more units or buildings, you win!

Start a Campaign

Play the single player campaign. Doing so will provide you with some insights about Starcraft 2 strategy. The base game only has a campaign for the Terrans, however, so it will not give you a complete feel for the game. Still, by playing against the other factions you can learn which of their units are the most deadly and why.

Play the Challenges

You can learn a lot about Starcraft 2 strategy by playing the challenge missions. The Protoss and the Zerg are available here as well, so you can get a sense of the strengths and weaknesses of all three. (Thank you Blizzard Entertainment!) These missions should test your knowledge of the computer game by asking you to defeat certain sets of forces. To do so, you must know which soldiers are strongest against those forces and you have to use them in the correct fashion.

Decide on a Favorite Group

A true master can play with any faction, but players who are just beginning to learn about Starcraft 2 strategy should stick with one for the time being. Having played with all 3, decide which one suits your personal preferences and style.

Practice With Them

Now, let's say you have picked the Zerg. The best way to become a Starcraft 2 strategy expert is to practice over and over. Remember that old adage that practice makes perfect! That is as true in SC2: Wings of Liberty as it is in real life. If you follow these ideas you can begin to get a feeling about which units work best against certain types of armies, particular opponents and so on.




Final Thoughts

These Starcraft 2 strategy tips are only the basics. They are intended for beginners. Intermediate and advanced players should seek input elsewhere. Happy gaming!
