first off i dont appreciate you calling me an idiot. for one, ill be looking for you on the leaderboards with your "so-called-strategy". then after a decimate you and laugh at your "thought out strategy" ima send you a voice message with me laughing long and hard. learn the term strategy before you go running your mouth off at what you "think" you know about the word "strategy. douche-bag

Grossmesser:well apparently you dont know your strategy games like C&C series, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, Sudden Strike, need i go on? If i have enough of one thing it'll be more than enough to counter what ever. A scarab is no match for countless waves of marines. A vulture can be downed by 6 or more banshees. units have there "specific" counters. That means of course something that flies is going to be weak against a unit that was specifically made to shoot units down that fly. enough marines can shoot down another vulture. if u had Sudden Strike on the pc i promise u that you'd have to use your brains to come out the victor in that game. There is no base building or resource gathering, it is strictly how you manuever your units and "how many units u confront the enemy with and how strong they are!"

None of the combos you have listed exhibit a unit defeating it's counter.

And there is resource collecting.  Every slot you use for supply pads is a slot you can't use for military purposes.

And every units is strong against some things and weak against others.  Using combinations of units reduce their weaknesses, but also reduces their strengths.

Oh teh noes!  You threatened me!  What ever shall i do?

I'm not saying im a strategy wiz, but i know enough about the basics to understand the weaknesses of every strategy.  I can't quite micromanage well enough though.

List a strategy, and i will find a way to beat it.  Go ahead.

The locust will absolutely FAIL against the cobras, and the Wolverines, would tear up your banshees so fast you won't be able to reselect them.  I never said anything about scorpions.

a scarab falls in seconds to countless waves of marines?

marines die in seconds at the hand of a scarab, much faster than building that unit.

and you could probably just sit the scarab infront of the enemy base can kill the marines as they come out, even is you lock it down and blast the marines out all at once.

Gods! You used strategy and you didn't even know it! Athena would be furious with you. If you had all of the correct counters, then you used strategy, no matter how many you have. 

However, yes a Scarab is a match for countless Marines. Get a good number of Engineers and all the damage done to the Scarab is gone.

You want a bad RTS that was for the PC? Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. Everything was a complete copy-paste of the other's with a wallpaper of the separate factions pasted over them. THAT was a spammer's game, and lacked any strategy whatsoever. I can name more RTS's that I've played, since you think we've no expierience in the genre.

Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring, Battles for Middle Earth, Battles for Middle Earth II, Starcraft, Warcraft III, Age of Mythology, Command and Conquer (I've played a couple of these lines, not sure which ones they were; I know Uri's Revenge was in there), Star Wars: Callactic Battlegrounds, SW: GB The Clone Campaign (almost exactly the same), Sins of a Solar Empire, Homeland... Need I go on?

I've a clear understanding of RTS games; and Halo Wars is one of them. Granted, it's not the absolute greatest thing ever made, and I don't feel it "revolutionizes" anything; but it is enjoyable and is a Strategy game.

See, right here you tell me exactly what kind of person you are. You're the kid that sends me some voice message with poor, microphone-eating audio; calling me a f*g. You're the kid that I send grammatically correct text messages, and they aggitate you. You're the kid that I would crush on Halo Wars, regardless of my skill level, because you'd be too intent on sending the most intimidating units to consider the counters I may have.

My name is my Gamertag; I look forward to fighting you.

Grossmesser:first off i dont appreciate you calling me an idiot.

Nobody does.  But it doesn't mean you aren't an idiot.  And use proper capitalization idiot.

Grossmesser:

for one, ill be looking for you on the leaderboards with your "so-called-strategy".

Of course, but tell me, how will you look on the leaderboards?  I am assuming from the pure hatred of your posts that you won't "waste" $60 on a game that you assume isn't "strategy."  If you don't like something, it isn't the brightest idea to buy it.

Grossmesser:

then after a decimate you and laugh at your "thought out strategy" ima send you a voice message with me laughing long and hard.

I don't recall mention fo "thought out strategy" by anybody but you, and that was just now. The point of strategy is to have a basic plan, that you then adapt to counter your enemies plan.  And a voice message isn't ling enough to really have a long laugh.

Grossmesser:

learn the term strategy before you go running your mouth off at what you "think" you know about the word "strategy.

Learn what strategy is before YOU go running your mouth off about what your deluded little mind thinks is strategy.

And here's the definition for you:

i found it a little odd that you said it takes away strategy with the pre-sockets, and you had DoW as one of your strategy picks, which doesnt have base building... at all.  did i miss something?
