I had played Reign of Chaos a long time ago but never got TFT, so I&#8217;m just completing my Blizzard experience. I figured all of my Starcraft experience would make it much easier, and I could just crash through it. I was so wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign on hard has been pretty difficult for me. A large part of my difficulty is that I still haven&#8217;t learned the interactions between types of attack and armor. I actually haven&#8217;t even really figured out how much damage units deal and how many hit points they have. I mostly play by instinct, try to form balanced armies, and mass up for big pushes. It doesn&#8217;t work well.<\/p>\n<p>Warcraft is clearly a very different sort of game, and I can&#8217;t quite wrap my head around it. Worse, it&#8217;s revealing my poor micro control as I can&#8217;t keep up with all of the spells I need to use while pulling units back and target firing. That problem is probably exacerbated by me not really knowing what&#8217;s effective.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I&#8217;m undeterred. I don&#8217;t know how to play any differently, so until then, I&#8217;ll just rely heavily on auto-saves and the knowledge that I&#8217;m making steady, if slow, progress, and that I&#8217;ll be done soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t played any SC2 in about a week now, but I have managed to squeeze in some of the campaign from The Frozen Throne.
