Tips for strategy games

• Economy before army. A strategy game is usually won by the player whose income grows fastest in the first five minutes, not by the biggest first attack.
• In tower defence, upgrade a well-placed tower before building a new one in a bad spot — range and position multiply damage more than numbers do.
• Scout before you commit. Sending one cheap unit to see the enemy's setup is worth more than any single upgrade you could buy instead.
