Added "Do" or "Don't" all the titles in an attempt to make sure there's not
gonna be any misunderstandings.

*Metal* is needed to get just about anything done in the game, and you
want as much of it as you can get. Build mexes and reclaim wreckage from
the battlefield like your life depends on it (because it does), and do your
best to keep your enemy from doing the same.

-=== Use your units ===
+=== Do use your units ===
If a combat unit isn't shooting, it isn't paying for itself. If an
opportunity to profitably deal damage to the enemy arises, take it. If your
team is engaged in combat somewhere, send your units to help out. But
*don't* throw your units away needlessly.

== Don't ==
-=== Make lots of defences in one place ===

The enemy will simply go around to where the defences aren't (like where
your allies are), and to fortify all possible attack points simply isn't
economically feasible. Seed moderate defences where necessary (e.g. at
chokepoints), sprinkle light defences elsewhere to deter raids, and use
mobile units for the rest of your defensive needs (or better yet, use them
to be the one doing the attacking).

-=== Send your units in one by one ===
+=== Don't send your units in one by one ===

They'll just die one by one. You want to concentrate your forces wherever
possible; see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanchester%27s_laws
Lanchester's laws] for why.

-=== Make lots of storages ===
+=== Don't make lots of storages ===
You want to be spending your metal and energy as fast as you can, not
stockpiling them. Storages should only be made under very specific
circumstances, usually in FFA matches.

-=== Make more nanoturrets than you can afford ===
+=== Don't make more nanoturrets than you can afford ===
Nanoturrets can help your factories and constructors build faster, but
only if there's actually metal available to spend. If you only have enough
ingredients for three cakes, having ten ovens won't make them bake any
faster than three.

As a rule, you shouldn't build new nanoturrets if your current expenditure
already exceeds your income. Each nanoturret spends about 10 metal per
second at full speed, so you can easily determine how many you need.
