Introduction and Terminology

Hello fellow RTS enthusiast!

I am a Warcraft 3 and Starcraft fanatic. Both are excellent RTS (Real-Time Strategy) games! In this blog, I will go over various units, build orders, strategies, tips, and tactics for both Warcraft 3 and Starcraft! Any feedback is much appreciated in the comments section.

A few terms you need to know are:

Macro: The "big picture" control of your army, resources, technology, expansions, etc.

Micro: The focus control of individual units' movements, actions, and abilities.

Spam: Repeatedly using a spell or ability.

Buff: A spell put on a unit that makes them stronger, such as the Priest spell Inner Fire or the Science Vessel ability Defense Matrix.

Debuff: A spell put on an enemy that inhibits its actions in some way, such as the Banshee spell Curse or the Defiler ability Plague.

Hero: A special unit found in Warcraft 3. Much more powerful than other units, each player can have a max of 3 heroes per game, and only one of each type per game.

CC: Crowd control. This means that you take enemy units out of a fight by turning them into sheep or banishing them into the nether for a short time.

Dispel: An ability found in every race in Warcraft 3. Dispelling critical buffs & debuffs can win you the game.

Happy reading!
