I still don't understand how can an RTS game work without stone-paper-scissors system...No clue what units to make. And ffs when do you stop making workers? Retasking them when you reach 16/16 is so annoying.

there is a counter system but its not a hard counter system like ( except for a few units like collosi, HT or broodlords ) in aoe. Infact many believe that a soft counter system is a lot better than a hard counter system because it emphasis micro more. Soft counter systems allow you to win games by sheer micro even if your unit combo is inferior to your opponent one. An example would be marauder vs collosi or marauder vs zealots. Both units are soft counters to the marauder but with great micro you can overcome the odds.

On topic im willing to play a few games on EU if anyone is interested.

I bet you do great in sc2, given your super micro and macro @lordraphael . Do you enjoy that game more? Why/why not? I have played campaigns, and they are really super fun. The maps in p2p on the other hand? I think they are only grey, dull,superteck? And the knowlegde you need to have about what counter what, takes alot of skills.

Lmao. This is a very accurate description of my short-lived SC2 career.

Think about it. SC2 is a triple-A RTS title that is now free to play. F2P will attract people no matter how you slice it. People get interested in SC2, get interested in RTS, get interested in AOE3. It's not like we're going to hundreds of players or something, but we could attract a few more active people.
