I am going to create a new game of skirmish vs AI as I would advise you to do yourself in order to practice what you see and learn in this first tutorial. The Barbarian AI is as close to real players as you can get, and you shouldn’t practice against any weaker AI as it will give you a false feeling for the game. The commander is the best starting builder you have and the most powerful damage dealing unit, while losing him means losing the match. In 1v1 you lose immediately after it’s destruction, but in a team game only once all commanders in your team are destroyed. As time itself is very precious in BAR, being able to plan your building placement before the match even starts is incredibly useful. And you do this while holding the shift key and left clicking on the buildings you want to build in the menu and left clicking on the ground to place them. If you make a mistake, simply left click a new building onto that one, and it will be removed from the que. Do note that the greed circle around your commander unit is its build range, so you want to fit all your first buildings inside that range and prevent losing time to walking around. Because BAR doesn’t have a uniform start on each map nor the same conditions for energy production and metal extraction there isn’t a single opening build to follow. While this makes it even harder to learn the game it also makes each match less predictable and more fun. Since you start each match with 1000 metal and 1000 energy you will quickly run out of these two main resources if you don’t have extraction and production buildings for them. This is why in a normal beginner friendly start you need to have queued up two metal extractors for your commander to construct followed by several energy production buildings and then more metal extractors. Here I am adding three wind turbines to the build que as there is wind on this map. #BeyondAllReason#RTS#Tutorial
