Haven't you heard this sentence a thousand times "when you are ahead, use your advantage to get more ahead"?
It sounds nice, but so does a lot.

So then how do we know what is good?

First of all id like to ask a simple question:
What does a player need to win?
Its AN advantage.

Ok go on

So ceeping your advantage is enough. you dont need to enlarge it
Why shouldn't I?

First i Want to ask a question:
How does a player gets an advantage?
Either he does something that is good(wins a battle,have an expo running for quite some time,snipe something important) or the enemy does something bad (looses a battle, is behind for quite a while)
to sum it up its like this:
One player does a better decision than to other.
So if you do a bad decision trying you get a bigger advantage you will lose some or all of your advantage.

But then how do i do a good decision?
+ Show Spoiler +
By doing something that isnt bad.
Ahhm WHAT?
+ Show Spoiler +
You should focus on keeping your advantage. Just ceep playing your normal game and dont try anything stupid.
That doesnt sound like advice!
+ Show Spoiler +
Ok let me try to explain it more simple. 2 players are playing exactly equal. then 1 player looses 10 food of units because of stupidity.
Then both players play exactly equal again. Who will win? The player who got the advantage and just cept it
Then both players play exactly equal again. Who will win? The player who got the advantage and just cept it
But doesnt the pros do it?
+ Show Spoiler +
Yes, a pro player might alter his build a little by getting an expo a little faster, getting out a few more drones than he planed to or skiping a cannon that isnt needet, but that it no big change in their play!
But then shouldnt i do that?
+ Show Spoiler +
Yes of corse, if you know that it is a good decision. The pros know, belive me but you usually dont. Of corse you can try getting an advantage that is a little bigger that your former advantage, but if you are to greedy you might lose some advantage.
