>>42940I was never good at Starcraft but I played it for years until I eventually stopped. There's plenty of tutorials and youtube videos on it and I am bad in explaining in general.
When you first click the icon and start the game, you will see a screen where there are multiple options. Then you click the Single Player if you want to play immediately. Then you could click the characters at the up side in order to do campaign mode which is basically just campaign and tutorial. If you want to play with an AI on a custom terrain then you could click on Play Custom. After you click play custom you will see a screen with multiple stuff.

There's hotkey for building every building and as it's impossible to size up and down your view, you have to move your perspective through hotkeys and by moving a mouse to the edge. You could send units to see through the fog of war that is represented through darkness and it's one of important factors. But if you are fighting against a computer, computer could know where you are regardless if they sent a scout t
