RTS Game Theory/Guide Part 2: Resource Management

RTS Game Theory/Guide: Resource Management This is a deeper look at how to manage resources, but because this game theory/guide is for all RTS games, it won’t be a deep dive into any one game specifically. I recommend doing some research on your own for specifics. As previously mentioned, resources are the supply for the demand(military). Having a great economy will field a great army. Let's break this down into separate categories: Resource Types: Most RTS games feature multiple types of resources, such as minerals, energy, food, gold, or wood.

Playing Lorcana For FREE?

Disney's competitor to Magic: The Gathering has been out for a little while now, with the second set just coming out. For Disney fans, this a dream come true. For others, it has great nostalgic value as their childhood heroes come to life. The problem is, it's getting increasingly expensive very quickly. Lorcana starter decks ranged from $18-25.

Thankfully, there are those heroes out there who are making sites to play Lorcana for free and I will show you how to do this. There are two sites we need to go to. Both require a sign up, just as a heads up. The first one is called DreamBorn.ink ( https://dreamborn.ink/builder ). This is where you can look at all the cards and create decks with similar stats to MTG websites (cost curve, card colors, etc). You can create your own decks here and also look at decks other peop...
