What you wish you knew the first time through!

Tapping the screen in the area hit while articles are still moving will max out damage done. I have played AB both ways, and screen tapping on area in motion DEFINITELY runs up the damage done by your bird!

Playing Domination? Got some C4? Throw some on the flag you just captured, wait around the corner or in a nearby building and wait for the other team to try to capture it, then let it fly! (Hint: If you can, try not to throw it directly on the flag as experienced players will look for the C4 "light" and shoot it. If there is a nearby obstacle or vehicle close enough to throw it under that is close enough to still kill them, throw it under there instead.)

If you are having a hard time in multiplayer, try the Famas. Its an assault riffle available early on that packs a real punch

Peanut butter sandwiches make you big.... didn't even see them in the game at first.

The more players while playing coop the easier!

If you want some extra speed when running, switch to your pistol temporarily until you get to the area you want to get to, then switch back to your assault rifle, sub machine, etc.

In the Gun Game wager match type, it's very important to get your first couple kills as early in the game as possible. Otherwise, you'll be firing your pistol against a dude with an AK47... :)

Pinch and zoom to get a better view of the battlefield - knowing where you are aiming is key to scoring great hits.

To get three stars you'll have to maximize your points. Not only do you have to finish a level using the fewest birds possible, you'll also need to destroy as much as possible - including as much as the structures as you can.

Always remember that there is a human-being controlling your opponents. Remember that unlike a computer opponent, you can play mind games with them. Also remember to treat them and your allies with respect.

[Staff of the Masters] can be made with [Glowstone] + [Recipe] + (any combination of 2 different +10 str/agi/int items)

Steam boats can be made with a combination of [Marchers] + [Gloves of the Swift] + (any of the the +6 str/sgi/int) items

When you are in the field make sure that you use the 'B' (shop) hotkey; saving you from loosing that saved money if/when you die (don't forget the outposts). You can get the courier to bring you items by grouping it (CTRL+Number): if you want an item; press the number, then 'B', buy it, press SHIFT+E, SHIFT+R. Make sure you are not near enemies when the courier arrives.

Ideally one should never have more than ~300-500 minerals sitting around doing nothing unless you're saving for an expansion. If you can't get rid of excess minerals, use all of them to build more unit production facilities to prevent the problem from occuring again later in the game.

Keep building workers constantly throughout the game. Ideally, one should be building at almost all times. This will give you more workers than you need, but you can always transfer those extra workers to a new expansion.

The cost of a worker or cheap combat unit is insignificant compared to intelligence on what your enemies are up to. Scout early and often!

Spend your resources. If you are gathering more than you can spend build more unit-producing structures or purchase upgrades. Losing a game with a high number of unspent resources is a sign that you need to be more aggressive with your spending.

Use the attack-move command (rather than the plain-old move command) to make sure that your units will engage any enemies they encounter on their trip. Select your units and press 'A' then left-click (alternatively, you can use shift + right click)

Super Stats are very important, pay attention to them when selecting new powers and gear from level 5 on. Re-specs are costly.
