I first saw the video title and went oh no.

After watching it I was pleasantly surprised at your attention to detail and video editing. As well as the very good job you did at summing up what starcraft is in a very precise way. A+ I too will save this for future use.

Excellent work, I was skeptical at first whether you would cover all the things a total beginner would need, but that first video said everything I could have hoped for and more! I plan to share this with a few friends of mine that just got into the game.

This is really nicely put together - I think the key with these sorts of things is getting the language just right, and you've nailed that. It's especially impressive considering that English is obviously not your first language. My only tiny quibble would be your use of the term "command centre" to refer to the main building for all races, but aside from that it's very clear and concise.


Thanks for the feedback! I agree it's not ideal to use the command center as a general term - I considered explaining that these three structures are also known as town halls, but I decided against it on account of not wanting to use more terms than necessary, especially since that term is never used in-game. So what I figured was, in this first episode I'll use the Terrans as my example (I think the Terrans should be the most recognizable race since they're humans), mention the Nexus/Hatch, and then later I'll do an whole episode for each race where I explain how they work.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I really hope this video series becomes a useful tool for people to get into this game and get excited about it!

Part three is finally done after a long period of other priorities...
This one's all about units; how to select and control them.
