Most strategic thinking I have is shaped by the lessons of my go-teacher. There seem to be concepts (overextention vs overconcentration for example) that are very universal to strategy. That is probably very obvious to people that are into this a lot longer than me, so feel free to call me major obvious.

@Cliver5 I have not actively seen you play yet, so the following is not specifically directed at you, just to be clear.

When reading books about this, take a step back. Yes, sun tzu is a classic. How high is the chance that it was the most brilliant strategist of all times that is a source of unquestionable wisdom? Kind of low. Why do I say that? Because you shouldnt just read the content of the book. You should also try to reconstruct how sun tzu got to that very content. The way he thought about things, to formulate his concepts in a world where (maybe) noone else had written them down before. Corny line: Don`t listen to sun tzu, try to BE sun tzu... (uh cringe)

What does that mean for zk: zk, as well as most other games, are about optimizing. You need to analyze the game on a fundamental level first. How does it work mechanically. Units, eco etc. Then try to find ways to maximize effectiveness and efficiency.

Bluntly
speaking:
If
you
want
to
play
zk
well,
suntzu
will
probably
help
you,
but
the
games
manual
(
strategy
and
eco-guides
etc.
)
will
get
you
way
more
mileage
and
form
the
foundation
on
which
you
can
apply
sun
tzus
ideas.
