There is no doubt that video games have been and continue to be of attention in recent years. Of course there are people who think they are a waste of time, but they are not. I remember during my childhood when Nintendo came up with the NES. However, what really left its mark on the world of video games were computer games.

There was only one type of video game that I really liked: the real-time strategy game. An RTSG is a strategy game as its name says, it is a strategy game. The main objective of this type of game is to raise and lead an army to win a battle against other players.

Since the beginning of computer games, there have been several genres for this type of game: from middle-aged battles to star field battles. During my youth, I played most of the real-time strategy game titles available on the market. The difference between game and game is the way to play it as well as the properties of each one; however, to learn how to play these types of games you need to be skilled.

What is the best strategy for this kind of games?

First of all, we must know each and every one of the elements of the game. Once these elements are learned, we must know the weaknesses and strengths of each of the units or characters in the game. For example, Blizzard’s Starcraft game. The combat takes place in a remote galaxy where three different civilizations face off in a battle for survival and supremacy. Each unit of each civilization has a property that gives its race a certain advantage.

Once the details of the game are known, the next step is to master it. A good practice in these types of games is to learn their HOT KEYS. Hotkeys are short shortcuts to in-game commands. These commands can also be executed with the mouse. The next step is to practice. Personally, I prefer to practice with the computer AI before going against humans. Human players are hard to beat, especially when they are experienced players.

Is it useful to play?

Many people believe that gambling is a waste of time. It can be a waste of time in games like Grand Theft Auto. But, in my opinion, RTS games are useful for developing mental skills like quick thinking, decision making, etc. However, as in any activity, we must maintain a balance.
