However, under most circumstances, the first things you should build are farms or slaughterhouses, depending on your alignment.īy the same token, if resources are a team's blood, then you can ease into victory if you can cause your enemy to 'bleed out.' In other words, attacking an enemy's resource collector buildings can be a way to win by attrition.
In the campaigns, because forces carry over, you may not have to blitz for the economy at the start of the later missions. This is doubly true in multiplayer matches, since everyone starts off on the same footing. In the early part of battle, you need to get your economy going as quickly as possible.
There is no proper name for the resource because farms, lumber mills, blacksmiths, and all other buildings that create them make the SAME resource. No matter how good your tactical mind is, you can't build units without resources.
