This still moves it up to the top of the listing on the left of the site, making it easier to see for people like me, who would never have read it if it hadn't been bumped.

Thanks, this is a pretty interesting read

This is similar to how I describe StarCraft to new players, although I split strategical into economic and technological, so I end up with a balance between three factors:

econ, tech, military

tech has both strategical and tactical components though. for example, the evolution chamber itself is an example of strategical advantage, while the +1 carapace is pure tactical advantage.

Nice article.

I just wanted to point out that drops can be a strategic manoeuvre as well. Any drop where you attack the probe line or the production facilities is also a strategic drop, for the same reason they call bombing that targets enemy factories/shipyards/resource depots "strategic bombing".

Interesting read, I am definitely going to analyze a few pro reps and a few of my reps with this and look for the differences in tactical/strategical advantage. My guess is there will be many of them, and they will be quite large.

Nice guide llintar
