1. Can someone tell me how to build units and buildings fast. I use hotkeys, but are there any other ways?

2. I dont understand what micro is? Can someone tell me plz

1. the best way is hotkeys and clicking fast
2. micro is micromanagement, it is when you watch all of your units and when you see one getting red health you take it out of battle, also it can be when you target the opponent's units effectivly and use your spells that you need to

1. i strongly suggest mastering your technique and battle orders against comps until you hit roughly a 60-70 actions per minute.

2. Micromanagement and Macromanagement are the two keys that ensure your victory. Having good micro means your coordination between your units. I.e. surrounding heros, avoiding getting your heros surrounded, attacking weak units, saving weak units, splitting units into groups and select different targets, etc.
Macromanagement is the game that is outside of battles. Having good macro is ensuring that you base is well built and always producing something (be it farms, units, or upgrades) and expanding.

I never did any of the action per minute crap. Check out replays of expert players and try to copy their build order. Macromanagement is more important then Micro, I think. If you get attacked in your base then your building placement
-could- help you win.

Practice in RT 4v4, heheh.

Nah 4v4 is crazy-go-nuts. Stick with 3v3 and then 2v2.

Thx all! So - Micro is when you control the battle. Macro is when i control the base.

Exactly we can give you fast build orders but nothing will be as good as to see exactly how a good player plays and do exactly the same thing

1. Solo lot, check my thread about NE (if ur gonna be NE)
2. micro is basically unit control, how u control them... (e.g. u dont let one unit get focus fired, u see it fast, control him, move him back, so that he doesnt get focus fired anymore... something like that iguess.)

 

[Equalizer]

Yeah I am going to be NE, but I will later change to orc but that is when I am good

 

[None293823]

You said you were going to be orc now Ne

 

[Samsara]

Kinda sounds like me back in my noob days when i was torn between undead and night elf but then i said f*** it, ill be the cheezy race .

 

[Ntrik_]

heres a good advice: (this is how i got to be NE)
-do 1v1 wit comp (random)
-which ever race u are chosen, go for it!

 

[Equalizer]

Dark Mage, every1 sad that I should start with NE...

choose orcs they are best in ground fighting, and you can ensare air with raiders and once they get on the ground you will own them but you have to know the hot keys cuz they are very usefull in bnet games
