The Starcraft 2 Guide – Master The Basics

The Starcraft 2 Guide - Master the Basics

This is the Starcraft 2 guide specially made for new players. If you are new to Starcraft 2, completely new, this guide’s for you. If I can explain the basics in a simple way, I’ll have done my job right.

Starcraft 2 fundamentally is an easy game. You have to destroy your opponent, it costs minerals to do this. Those two concepts are basically it. Everything else is about mining minerals and using those minerals to destroy the opponent.

You spend the minerals on more buildings and units. You use those unit to fight with your opponent and hopefully destroy everything he has built.

At present, there are three races. A race is a group of units, buildings, and technology. A race is an entire species, that operates differently than the other two.

The three different races are Zerg, Protoss, and Terran. Remember their names, you will be one of these races each time you play. Terran are the easiest for a beginner to master.

They all operate in there own ways, with there own buildings and units. However they all have to harvest minerals. Basically, there are two currencies in Starcraft 2, minerals and Vespene Gas. You will have to gather both for some buildings and units.

So you’re going to have to build a lot of workers in order to mine all those minerals. Supply is a number that represents the amount of units you have. The more units you build, the higher your supply counts go. You also have a maximum supply count which you need to raise in order to build more units.

This is where the battles start, and you’ll need to use your units to destroy your opponent. The battles require a whole new skill, which is labeled micro. Keeping your units alive and eliminating your opponents’ units is what the rest of the game consists of. For more advance knowledge on the game, check out some Starcraft 2 secrets online.
