DexVitalitY’s Starcraft 2 Tip of the Day #11


Check out my other blog: http://dexvitality.blogspot.com/

Tip #11

Use Your Production Buildings!

Macro Macro Macro. Many people will tell you Macro first, micro later. This is very true but also there are many out there that seem to think that Macro simple means having more production buildings. Yes that is true to a point but not the defining element in what is macro. Macro also includes being able to spend your money efficiently. What this means is that you should use all your buildings constantly. The moment you have a few buildings standing idle, you are not using them efficiently and this could be a hint that you perhaps made these buildings too early and perhaps should have expanded first.

I have seen countless players make far too many tech buildings and production buildings and ultimately only use maybe 70-80% of them. My tip to you is to simple play more games and take notice how many production buildings you can efficiently produce out of, when you have... 1 base, 2 base, 3 base etc...

For example

Terrans - 1 Base you normally can have 3 rax and 1 starport, this is pushing it already.
Protoss - 1 Base 3 Gate or 2 Gate Robo is doable which allow you to expand relatively quick also.
Zerg - Zerg is a tricky race, it is a race that needs to take a early second base and the production levels depend on the amount of drones you make early in the game. I will go into more detail in another tip of the day.
