I have played this game over 50 times since its launch, and really love it.
But it took me 20-30 defeat try to get the right strategy out and start winning the game, even by myself in 4 player game.
I just feel that the learning curve in this game is extremely steep.
Helpful messages should appears more as the player progress through the game. Helpful messages like.
- Find supply that scatter outside the map to start build turrets.
- You have found a supply, you can now build turrets.
- You have found gas, you can build scanner and restoration.
- Scanner has a scanning ability that allows you to reveal the map!
- Restore can be useful for healing health and mana!
- Build mule from factory to mine faster! (1 min after getting factory)
- Dogs from science facility have an aoe splash attack, they are good against many units. (1 min after getting science facility)
- Probe mine twice faster than mule, build pylons next to mineral and start mining! (after getting obelisk)
- Probe can reach high ground by using blinking skill (1 min after getting probe)
I believe this will lessen the learning curve for newbies, as for now, most of them are really clueless what to do =P
