      I remember my brother bought a pretty thick reputable starcraft guide and tutorial book back then. But of course the last page had all the cheat codes and that was all I cared about when I was 4 or 5. Now I'm coming back and playing it right 20 years later

    This is the perfect antidote for an overthinker like me. Wish I'd found this sooner. As a noob, I've been focusing on the higher level stuff, like build orders and strategy because that's what fascinates me when I watch pro games. However, it's important to realize that's icing on top of a good macro cake. Yum.

    Bit of advice: when you say something that is StarCraft specific, like gate, cut to the information that will explain it.

    Just found these videos, and I like it! I've been kind of interested in gettin' gud at SC1 after I learned how to get decent at SC2, but there's not a lot of good tutorials on it. Most of them are just build-order guides. Some of the principles from SC2 carry over, but it's a very different beast, SC1. When I was a kid, I only ever played custom maps and the campaign. I never really bothered with ladder.

    Wow ! Coming back to SC from Chess, I was looking from lots of difference stuff : build order, strategies, best matchups, micro management...
    I'm sure your video will save me lots of time lost on things that are too evolved for n00b like me
    In Chess, usually it's useless to spend time on opening theory, endgames, strategical thinking if you suck at tactics and miss mate in 1, in 2, given pieces, or game changing easy moves
    I guess it's pretty much the same here

    How many workers can be on mineral/gas? Coming as a new player from sc2 and its a bit weird bc you dont get specifics. The answer to this is 16-24.
    Can you rally build pylons/gateways? The answer to this is NO you can not in starcraft 1, however you can build something then rally to minerals or gas holding shift. Not as amazing as sc2 but still a good mechanic to use.

  • @fyodorpopov5079
    @fyodorpopov5079 2 года назад

    Good educational video. But, for example, playing as terran vs. computer is harder, due to one huge difference. As protoss, you can build everuthing using 1 probe at a time. As terran i can't maximize my supplies, becasuse 1 scv can't build multiple buildings at once. So, what's your advise? Ignore when computer is harassing me and focus on mastering the skill of macro?

    • @naoyakundesu
      @naoyakundesu Год назад

      Terran economy works the same way. Always build SCVs. Zerg's economy works differently because of Larvae. But as a beginner you really need not worry about that yet. Like explained in the vid, you need to understand that building workers at all times is paramount before any strategy or build order comes to mind

    Consistently building probes 1 after another after they are done queueing but i dont get full army until like 25 minutes and when i do... ummm i have a SHIT TON of probes... also... i feel like im doing something wrong here... like ill have probably 60-100 probes... and my income is super low... all meanwhile being on 1 base ish sometimes 2? later in the game once my army grows bigger i can expand to 2-3 bases and when i expand thats when i notice the money flowing in quicker, but on only 1-2 bases it can be kind of iffy tbh on mineral income like iffy as in slower than it should be with 60+ probes on 1 nexus imo
    sc2 only allows 16 so i wonder if more than that means im not getting any more?
    same for only 3 on assimilator on sc2, in version 1 u can add more to the assimilator but i also assume only 3 and anymore is not getting you any more gas correcT?
    been focusing on not letting minerals grow past 500 and been doing really good there, the main issue is the amount of mineral income sometimes, and then also... like sometimes i just feel like i have way too many probes... lmao esp since the probes are sposed to give me mineral income and they arent...
    Noticing at 32 supplies u go for 2nd nexus... which... is fine... im producing a lot of probes and like at 70/75 ill be at base one still... maybe the multiple probes on one nexus is the issue im running into why i cant max army at 12 mins?
    Just looked it up and it is the same as SC2, only 16 is most efficient anymore is doable depending on preferences but the worker individually is less efficient somethign about 22 per nexus is best but i think ill stick to 16 for awhlie that should help me speed up my bench marks :)
    By expanding the nexus and upping my income once i figured out 16 to mineral i had double the units of cpu at 13 mins into the game and just atk'd to end bc i had more units and techs 120units to 60 units, with a couple mroe runs i should be able to max army at 12 mins too i think.
    THANK YOU again for laying out the fundamentals... even though im still on step 1, at least there is a clear direction of how to improve :)

      generally when your fighting against another player, you will want to use any units you have to attack them So a game will last over 10 mins, you will end up with 60 probes but not really going to need more after that. 60 probes is good for 4 to 5 bases. It's good to have itleast 12 probes per base so they are not waiting to mine, it all depends on how many bases you can get and how many resources you have. As long as your destroying something and making more units and getting enough resources then you shouldn't need more probes. But it's always good to start at the beginning, more probes, more pylons, I always try to make more gateways closer to the enemy in new bases so that my units are not traveling very far .

    how do you select only your marines from your army of several different units ? which hot key do I use to do that ?

    Not sure how you hotkey something.

      Click on a unit/building. Then assign a NUMBER between 0 and 9 as a hotkey to it by pressing CTRL+NUMBER. Now, by pressing that NUMBER you select that unit/bullding. Furthermore, by double pressing that NUMBER your camera centeres at that unit/building.
