Advice for a n00b

[Edgar Allan Bro]

Any general advice you can give to someone totally new to the game, what strategies are good, ect?

 

[Herfelt]

Learn how to use supply crawlers.
Learn how to use prope teams.

Other than that, just play the game. Increase the difficulty when you feel like it and learn by doing.

The late game pretty much is all air when it comes to military. Getting copters and fusion reactor first is quite important imo.
