I've played heroes 3 with my gf and I was quite surprised by the fact she knew some basics (like picking up conflux as a race)

Sounds more like you went out of your way to make someone hate a game o.o

Million ways to go about it, so just make sure it's fun / interesting. APM practice maxing out under 12 minutes might sound interesting to TL members, but that doesn't seem like the way to bring someone into a game for fun lol

A good rule of thumb when playing with someone who's new is to only use what they have access to. If they only play at 40 apm, you should as well. If they can't remember to keep mining over 3 bases, you shouldn't either. If they don't know build orders to use, use the time to mess around and make up some kooky bo's of your own.

Everyone is different though, so roll with what works!

Be careful bro, after what you did, it's either, she'll break up with you, or she'll get hooked to the game, and eventually beat you... Damn, happened to me when my close girl friend (not it has a space) tried to place sc. damn, I lost lol, she even beat me to C- ~_~

BTW: Like the others say, teach her, the basics, meaning, basic basic. not even probes or expanding, like how to make units, what to do when your out of supply

I like to add aswell, after teaching her, and beating her first computer on her own (no coaching), congratulate her, she'll be like so happy about it. Yah.. good times.

who a girl who's C-? :o

Only 2 things to teach a noobie:

Never stop making workers.
Always spend your minerals (and gas).

Once they have that shit down, they will either figure out what to do on their own; or you can start showing them how to do the aforementioned rules more efficiently ie; build orders).
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

So many funny replies, but yeah, you kind of steamrolled her and I'm sure she is going to have an affair now. GL bro.

You're a jackass. Your entire post was just showing off the builds you did to stomp your girlfriend who doesn't know how to play. Teach her to play before you play her. It's called common sense.

this guy speaks the truth.

you must have D- player rage.

Why would you even stomp your gf at a game she has never played? :/

Play some UMS games that pit you against the computer - like Starship Troopers or something.

Also, don't "teach" her how to play - just let her learn by herself and help her when she has questions. None of this strict training regimen crap; she just wants to play for fun and because it's I'm assuming a significant part of your life. She's your gf first and a "student" second (if you even want to think of it that way).

I disagree. I think you should drill her hard.
