Strategies.
I was wondering what people's strategy
is, ECT. What you army composed of and what you do early, mid, end, game. Hopefully this will help people.

My current strategies revolve around losing to vape spam.

But for realsies, expand fast and early, scout with cheap crappy units, build counters, attempt to harass and distract.

When playing DS i usually go for a fast 3rd expansion. From there i want to have 2 barracks and 2 factories. Then i tech up and go dragons.
Depending on the game I either pump up production or expand more.

I hope you guys (Netput and Noodlesocks) upload some more videos of this and Armies. Aside from being very entertaining it's nice to learn from more experienced players.

I have uploaded a couple since hordes was released, just not added them to steam. I'm pretty average though. There are a lot better players than me.

Yeah, I saw them on Youtube. If the way you micro manage is average, I shudder to think how fast a good player is :)

Anyone who's videos you'd recommend?

I'll upload a few later this weekend or next week. Didn't know there was any demand :)

Even with how cheap the lodges are I've always thought of them as HQs instead of the equivalent of a refinery. Seems a bit OP being so cheap and with each providing the ability to build

Same. I always looked at them like HQ'S.

Hmm, not many good players upload to youtube. You're best bet is joining the official Discord channel and checking out the streams section. There's often good streams of good players going on there.
