    I've been looking around for good tutorials for PA and I've yet to find one I like...

    I'm considering making some myself, even though I barely know the game.

    The wiki is consistently outdated, where would be the best place to pull information?

    What are some major things that need explaining?

    Thanks

    so much wasting with that start: 3 mex, energy, factory. energy mex factory spam energy is a pretty safe bet.

    I don't think starting builds will ever stay the same.

    I am not the best, but I do many things.

    Mex energy Mex Factory Mex Energy Mex Energy Mex Factory Mex EnergyEnergyEnergySpam

    Mex energy Mex Factory Mex EnergySpam

    Mex Energy Mex Factory Mex Energy Factoryspam

    Then again, whatever I do I usually just have fabbers out the factory comphensate. Depends on if start is plentiful or sucks. If plentiful, Commander can do most the building and factories can produce optimal attack forces. If spawn sucks, grab a few points with faster units while commander just bulk builds in place.

    I still used my ancient alpha build order until recently... Now it's: Metal, Metal, Energy, Metal, a factory of my choice (With five fabs, then auto build, first: metal, then second energy, metal, energy, last is on factories), three energy, an air factory, and then energy spam unless needed elsewhere.

    also, something I demonstrate in videos, is while factory is still in progress build, you go ahead and click your desired infinite build, then set the infinite button, then hold ctrl and click fabbers.

    infinite will still build, and anything set with ctrl will build first and clear.

    so in current gw with 3 t1 tank buffs, I build factory, set 1 tank 1 inferno 1 stinger, infinite build, then ctrl 4 fabbers, 2 per proxy.

    those proxy build similar order, 2 mex 1 pgen then factory, then they fill the rest of the mex and pgen for the commanders bulk factories, or they build a second proxy factory.
