In Stormgate 1v1 Ranked you have two types of resources.
As a rule of thumb do this every single game:

- build worker
- build barracks to train army units
- build supply
- build infrantry units
- build a second base
- build what is required to build other army units (this is called tech)
- continue building workers
- continue building army units
- if your training buildings are idle, make them produce a unit

And now just spend those ressources. Even if you have to build 10 barracks or another base.
Think about it this way: Any banked resources are wasted. Just like cash in your bank account.
Either invest the cash or spend it but don't let it sit idle for bad times because the match will only last a few minutes.

Don't be afraid to chain build e. g. queue up units.
If you can outspend your opponent, you will win.

Enjoy!
