2) I am not very good at this, but in order to do better, it helps to be in control of as much as you possibly can. In order to be in control of the entire battle, you have to be paying attention and controlling the [i]whole battle.[/i] This is extremely hard to do, because how do you a) pay attention to everything, and at the same time, b) control everything! It seems impossible, and well, it is pretty much impossible, but you can come close. There are many things you can do to improve your control of the battle, and I have noticed some of these by watching pro players. First of all, if you are ever wondering "Is there a faster way to do this?", then 99% guaranteed there is a faster way, and if there isn't then you can suggest it and it might become a thing.

-Somewhere in advanced settings you can enable what I think is called something gestures (correct me if I'm wrong), but basically it allows you to hold down right click, and all of the buildings and things you can build are all literally at your fingertips. It takes a long time to get used to using this effectively, as you have to memorize where everything is to do it fast, but once you get it, it is much faster.

-If you want to move your screen from one army to another one all the way across the map, the fastest way is to click on the minimap where your other army is and your screen basically teleports there.

-A
really
good
way
to
be
in
control
of
many
armies
at
once
is
knowing
[i]when
to
use
the
built-in
unit
AI
and
when
to
not.
[/i]
This
game
has
some
crazy
good
unit
AI,
and
while
sometimes
it
is
not
fit
for
the
job,
sometimes
it
will
do
the
job
just
fine
and
you
don't
need
to
pay
as
much
attention.
This
is
very
hard
to
do,
but
as
some
other
people
already
said,
a
good
way
to
start
this
is
to
use
attack
move
instead
of
normal
move.
I
have
made
this
mistake
many
times.
Also,
sometimes
simpler
is
better,
sometimes
it
is
better
to
just
right
click
(
attack)
the
enemy
unit
you
want
to
destroy,
rather
than
absorb
all
of
your
attention
trying
to
micromanage
your
units.
You
have
to
know
[i]where
to
spend
your
attention[/i].
That
is
true
with
anything
actually,
like
where
to
spend
your
units,
where
to
spend
your
time,
etc.

-Try to come up with your own strategies, or develop some backup strategies that are already known. As someone else said, reclaim is great (as long as you use it lol), so maybe try luring the enemy a little farther into your base (pretend like you're retreating or something), and once they get past a chokepoint, get some fast guys around the back of them and surround them and there you go! It's a win-win, you win the battle AND you get the reclaim.

For instance, what I usually do for spiders (my favorite factory) is not the best, but I usually use a combination of Venoms, Redbacks, and Recluses as the main force, and once I engage I usually send some fleas around the back (or to chase them) to corner them, score some extra hits, and maybe even finish them off. I used to think fleas were absolutely terrible, but if you can get the enemies focused on your guys with more health, and then score some hits in with the fleas, it turns out they do quite a bit of damage for their cost and speed.

I would do something completely different if I were doing a factory like, lets say amphbots.
