Should I play BAR with almost no RTS experience?

Players with little RTS background often wonder if they should jump into Beyond All Reason now or wait. The short answer: start playing immediately and learn the counter mechanics along the way.

Just jump in

You do not need extensive RTS experience to start. The only cost of trying BAR is that it tends to consume your free time. Players coming from twenty games of StarCraft 2 often find the transition manageable once they learn the different pace and scale. BAR rewards understanding unit roles and economy flow over mechanical perfection.

Countering centurions as Cortex

New Cortex players run into Armada centurions and struggle. The answer is straightforward: build rocket bots and medium laser turrets. Both counter centurions effectively in the early game. Do not overthink it. The matchup exists and the tools to handle it are available from the start.

Learn alongside patient players

Starting BAR without an RTS background feels less punishing when teammates explain things instead of complaining about mistakes. Creed of Champions welcomes players across all skill levels and runs structured training where experienced members help newcomers learn the ropes. No yelling, no judgment, just people helping each other get better at a complex game.

The first and only community I have seen that actually holds up to its values. I have honestly not had a single bad experience here.
