Tips and tricks
- Be a good winner. Rematches are how multiplayer games stay fun, and nobody replays a gloater.
- In shared-keyboard games, agree on who uses which keys before you start — hand collisions cause more losses than skill does.
- Learn the controls alone for two minutes before you invite a friend. Fumbling the basics is the fastest way to lose a match you should win.
- Cooperative modes reward splitting roles: one player handles offence while the other covers, rather than both rushing.
- Because this is a Strategy game, economy first, power later.
