    You clearly have no idea what your talking about. If you want to be anything better than Bronze League, you have to learn how to harass and put on pressure.

    I suck at SC 2 when it comes to ladder or just some multiplaer games. But i do see that harrasing and all that works well. I just somehow get behind in units or mineral production no matter how hard a try lol. I'm more of the type in 4 vs 4 if i would ever do so, I'd just sit back hoping my team mates can do a good job defending while i can hopefuly build up a good enough stack of a single type of mid/late game unit.

    But ya, harrasing is a pretty big key, and i think knowing how to defend and counter these harrases are an even bigger key.

    Trust me, i`d love to, but i`m not going to buy a whole new computer, even be screwed over by the tech shop and having to return there and buy internal components for it aswell, and a new router, a new keyboard, monitor, mouse and all the crap, I`d rather stick with my xbox

    Yes, siege mode sucks arse, I don`t like it, but nobody on the Xbox ever does use logistics to their advantage, they just build and deploy.

    I love RTS games where you build bases AOM was my favourite and I wish more would be made like it. Recently though I have been playing Dawn of War 2 and it's awesome but it still doesn't beat the old base-building.

    A remake of Rise of Nations would be AWESOME! Even if my computer couldn't support it. Also, that game that is coming out summer 2012 called End of Nations is a base builder.
    Also, will Stronghold 3 count?

    Sure you can have small force ready in like 2 minutes, but without proper micro you won't stand a chance against Tyran.....ehm...Zergs as Imperi...ehm....Terran. And that's the only race you get for having a free account. Maybe it's different with other races.
