Newbie
A "newbie" is a
generic name for a new player in any game. But as of late, it
has become more of a derogatory term for other players that use
the cheesiest strategies.
Rumor: Some argue that
after your tenth game of StarCraft on Multiplayer that you cease to be
a "newbie." I suggest playing through the majority of
the single player missions to get used to the game before you try to
play on multiplayer. However, once you get used to the controls
and the basic game play, practice on multiplayer most of the time.
A good comp-stomping may be fun, but you'll learn the most by playing
against other people.
Range
Range is the distance
that a unit can attack. Range can be increased for some units by
researching Upgrades. On this site, I classify range into the
following categories:
- Melee
Examples: Zealots, Zerglings, Firebats, miners.
- Short
Example: Non-upgraded Marines, Dragoons, and
Hydralisks.
- Medium
Examples: Range Upgraded Marines, Dragoons, and Hydralisks.
- Long
Examples: Reaver, Guardian, and Siege Tank
Choke Point- A narrow passage of land which usually is the only entrance to a
base. Choke points are easily defensible by ranged units and structures, and at
these points, air and ranged units have a considerable advantage over melee
units.
Damage Types:
Normal Damage: The unit inflicts on all units ( damage- armor)
Concussive Damage: The unit inflicts on small units (damage- armor)
The unit inflicts on medium units (damage-armor) x 0.5
The unit inflicts on large units (damage-armor) x 0.25
Explosive Damage: The unit inflicts on small units (damage- armor) x 0.5
The unit inflicts on medium units (damage- armor) x 0.75
The units inflicts on large units (damage- armor)
Splash Damage: The unit damages, in addition to the target unit, all units
within a certain radius of blast unit.
Friendly units may or may not be immune
to this splash.
