Some RTS players are more into micro (unit control, quick reactions), whereas some are into macro (economy, production, expansion). What’s your playstyle in competitive real-time strategy games? In case you like to balance both, how do you do it?
 
Let’s settle this calmly. I think macro wins more consistently. Micro can win engagements while macro wins matches. If your economy is stronger and the production cycles are more tight, you would create a structural advantage. Even if the opponent out-micros you in one fight, your reinforcement will compensate it.
