Okay, how about I get a bit more specific then? Okay, I am on the very smallest map you can get (the small maps and the first one under the random generated one. Its 1v1 and your opponents start next to each other) since its the most recent one I have played. Okay, as TEC, I start off by starting both my worker things to build crystal mines. As soon as one finishes, I build a Cap. ship factory and start on... whatever I feel like building (typically, its the carrier or Akkon

Whether it be with Advent or TEC (haven't tried Vasari yet, as I am just getting into the game), I can never balance my economy enough to be able to both tech and build a army. The two scenarios I often find myself in are: 1. I am teching up the research tree quickly, but have no real money to build a army 2. I am building a huge army of long range support units and light frigates to support my capital, but fail to have money to tech. I know the answer would be to just do a bit

But then again, it gives a good start for noobs like me to know even a way to GET started. I mean, before, I just sit there thinking about what to do and often not have enough money for ANYTHING, yet this gives me a template to work off of and I've already started to implement things that I think would work better in my preference.

I name my homeworld "Hamsterland" and my asteroid "Asteroid." Then the other planets are things like "Puppyland," "Hoth," "Squeak," and so on. Basically things that I'll remember.
