How to start with 8-Bit Armies
By Cr4zyPi3t
Tips & Tricks for 8-Bit Armies!

Your first actions in every game:
1. Destroy your first refinery after you built it. This will spawn a Harvester, and you will get 300$ back.
2. Build a second refinery.
3. Build 2 Barracks. Try to expand your base to the next oilfield. Dont forget to train units.
4. Build a Power Plant to keep your power level high.
5. Build a Motor Pool. You may now start scouting the enemy.
6. Ok, now its your decision. Do you want to rush or create an economy?
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

General Tips:
1. For every oilfield build one refinery and one extra Harvester (so you have two in total)
2. Micro your units! Dont let them get crushed by tanks / Harvesters...
3. Use hardcounter units! Example: Enemy has much tanks -> You want to build rocket-helicopters
4. Dont waste time! After a building is finished, build another!
5. Try to cut the enemy resources and try to control the oilfields in mid!
6. If youre starting to play 8-Bit Armes dont play 1v1. Play in teams, so you can learn from your mates!
7. Dont give up! You may loose very often in the beginning, but thats ok. Try to improve your skills!

Hope this helps!

@hatmat123 the guide is one and a half years old. In the early days you didnt start with one harvester...

Yes, when you sell it, you get back money but keep the harvester. But it seems like the, changed the rules since I wrote the guide (u start with two harvesters now, in the beginning it was just the one from your first ref)

Quick question, is there any reason to sell your first refinery? I've tried following this opening but my harvesters tend to get stuck waiting in line since I don't have enough refineries to unload my harvesters efficiently.
