This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

With Starcraft, there's a few set strategies that all have counters. If you can recognize and adapt fast enough, you can out maneuver your opponent. They carefully set up all three factions to be able to do this.

It's been a while since I played AoE2, but it has tons of factions that all play a little different. Only a handful are worth talking about. That's a valid approach to balance, but it's a different experience from the Starcraft method.
