doh study them
micro shmicro.
As Bill Cosby once said,
I don't know the secret to success, but the secret to failure is trying to please everybody.
That micro you talking about is a love/hate thing for many people. It is not the definition of a good rts. The ability to micro should not be a pre-requisite to having a good RTS sweat and being competitive.
You have a plan, you make a strategy, you execute it in real time, you own base or get owned. Simple as that. War!! iymc.
In WarHammer, if one marine try to run back from the battle cause his health running low, is bullet ihmc!! His own commander will shoot him in the back. Spacemarines iymc! Rico's rough necks! iymc.
De whole squad could fall back, and yuh might have 4 squads in yuh army, so it still have room for management. De dreader units could be "micro-ed" since they don't come in squads, like de force commander and dreadnoughts.
If all you want to do is micro, play chess.
If you want to sweat a kick brass RTS, play warhammer!!!
