I recently decided to start playing dow2 after some years and found out about the elite mod. I use to play slot of dow1/2 and I still play Coh2 although I'm getting bored of it. I mainly play 1v1 and not a fan of team games. I also have no idea what I'm doing.

hey man. welcome to the mod

first to arrange pick-up games that are usually casual in nature join the elite mod chat group

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/DoW2EliteMod

second look for Beginner rumble tournaments if you want to try 1v1 games with other beginners.

for example:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1099

make sure you realize that many players have thousands of hours playing the game. Don't get too frustrated with losing. It happens.

1. PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW YOUR NEW!!!!!!!!!!
2. Join the steam chat and advertise your "newbie" game
3. Practice 1v1 as much as you can. It is the single best way to focus and practice. team games are so chaotic and you can be attacked by so many different angles and what not. I wouldn't suggest it.
4. After a good 1v1 battle post your replay and some of us can give you tips.
5. stick with one race and try to really understand it.
