地圖意識(shí)

What is Map Awareness?

什么是地圖意識(shí)？

Put simply, map awareness is knowing the map layout; its choke points, attack angles, and specific intricacies, and keeping these in mind as you play.

簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，地圖意識(shí)就是要知道地圖的布局，了解它的咽喉要道，攻擊角度，以及它不同于其他地圖的復(fù)雜特征，在對(duì)戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候，要時(shí)刻謹(jǐn)記。

However, it tends to encompass more than just that, and is more like multitasking; keeping on top of the standard tasks of building construction, etc, while keeping an eye on your enemy's actions as well.

不過(guò)，地圖意識(shí)的內(nèi)涵不僅僅是這些，它更像多任務(wù)處理；在你進(jìn)行基本任務(wù)（比如建造建筑等）的同時(shí)也關(guān)注敵人的行動(dòng)。

More often than not, it relies heavily on adequate scouting; necessary because of the need to know what is going on most important areas of the map, and tends to mean knowing what your opponent is generally going to be doing at most points in the game and being prepared to counter them, and any potential threats you will face.

大多數(shù)情況下，良好的地圖意識(shí)依賴于大量的偵察工作，這是非常必要的，因?yàn)槟阈枰赖貓D上那些兵家必爭(zhēng)之地的現(xiàn)況。同時(shí)，良好的地圖意識(shí)意味著在游戲過(guò)程中你要大致知道你的對(duì)手將要做什么，并根據(jù)情況做好迎戰(zhàn)敵人和任何你將面對(duì)的潛在威脅的準(zhǔn)備。

Why is it important?

它為什么重要？

Simple. While invaluable, you can't always rely on the spacebar and EVA announcements to tide you through every single assault you're going to face in a match, though; if you're already being attacked and an Engineer is sent into your Construction Yard, you won't know until it's too late.

很簡(jiǎn)單。地圖意識(shí)是無(wú)價(jià)的。你不能總是依賴空格和EVA的提示來(lái)幫助你應(yīng)對(duì)比賽中的每一次攻擊。試想如果你正在被敵人攻擊，一個(gè)敵方的工程師正向著你的主基地跑來(lái)，而你知道的是時(shí)候?yàn)闀r(shí)已晚。

If a scouting mission reveals an early game Predator spam, then you can prepare Fanatics or Disintegrators and make his attack unsuccessful and costly. Overall, the benefit is that it will make your army more efficient and increase the likelihood of your units getting promoted, and as everyone knows, promoted units are so much more useful than regular ones.

如果你的偵察部隊(duì)發(fā)現(xiàn)了早期的掠奪者海，那么你可以準(zhǔn)備些狂徒或者粉碎者，從而讓敵人偷雞不成蝕把米?？傊?，地圖意識(shí)的好處是它可以讓你的部隊(duì)更加有效率并且增大了你的部隊(duì)得到升級(jí)的可能性，眾所周知，升級(jí)的單位要比不同單位有用得多。

Another good reason is that it really helps with improving your micro; a quick sweep of your base can reveal damaged buildings & units that could require repair or additional defense, or show idle Harvesters or other such issues that could be sorted out, and maybe show you those Flame Tanks that otherwise would have surprised you.

另一個(gè)好理由是，良好的地圖意識(shí)可以切實(shí)地幫助你改進(jìn)微操：快速的掃過(guò)你的基地，可以暴露受傷的部隊(duì)和建筑，他們需要被修理或者加強(qiáng)防御；具有良好的地圖意識(shí)可以及時(shí)知道空閑的礦車或者類似可以列出來(lái)的信息，它還可以讓你早些發(fā)現(xiàn)噴火坦克，避免被他們偷襲。

Map awareness is also hugely effective in helping you know where to position your forces, and this can be useful as you will know where to place defenses and extra units to counter any incoming assaults.

地圖意識(shí)在你部署兵力時(shí)效果更是顯著。具有良好的地圖意識(shí)，你就知道在哪里放置防御和額外的兵力可以有效的對(duì)抗敵人的進(jìn)攻。

It should follow that good map awareness also has a knock-on effect on macro for the simple reason that you will be more able to plan better attacks, because you will be more able to attack his weak spots and capitalise on his mistakes; at times, this can mean the difference between a win and a loss.

不得不說(shuō)的是，好的地圖意識(shí)在宏觀上也是有很大效果的，原因很簡(jiǎn)單，它將使你能夠謀劃更成功的進(jìn)攻，因?yàn)槟銓⒏私馑娜觞c(diǎn)，并把他的錯(cuò)誤轉(zhuǎn)化成你勝利的資本。有時(shí)，這將決定勝負(fù)。

Distractions will also be less likely to succeed with heightened map awareness; if you are playing against Nod, for example, you can be on the lookout for stealthed assaults and keep on guard with plenty of stealth detection, and save yourself a lot of hassle in the process.

如果提高了地圖意識(shí)，敵人聲東擊西的戰(zhàn)術(shù)就會(huì)不那么有效。舉個(gè)例子來(lái)說(shuō)，如果你對(duì)抗Nod，你會(huì)時(shí)刻警惕隱形攻擊，你會(huì)布置大量的探隱守衛(wèi)，這將使你在騷擾過(guò)程中大受裨益。

How do I get it?

怎么得到它？

• Hit spacebar whenever you hear an announcement
• Constantly right-click scroll
• Hotkey your main attack group (at the very least)

• 養(yǎng)成不論何時(shí)只要你聽到報(bào)告就按空格的習(xí)慣
• 經(jīng)常使用右鍵滾屏
• 用熱鍵操作你的主攻部隊(duì)（至少是這樣）

It takes time, but starts with a few simple steps and will become more like second nature the more you practice. One of the first things to do would be to check your minimap constantly, and pay attention to your EVA announcements. Also hit spacebar whenever you see the minimap icon flash or hear the EVA announcement; it will save you lots of time in finding out which enemy unit is where.

這花費(fèi)時(shí)間，但是從一些簡(jiǎn)單的步驟入手，熟能生巧。第一件要做的事情應(yīng)該是經(jīng)常檢查小地圖，并且關(guān)注聲音提示。當(dāng)你聽到聲音提示或者看到小地圖上有圖標(biāo)閃爍的時(shí)候，不要猶豫，記得按空格；這將節(jié)約你大量的尋找敵人的時(shí)間。

Constantly move around your base + the enemy base, just to check what is going on; this will greatly improve your general awareness and make it that much more difficult for your opponent to surprise you.

經(jīng)常的環(huán)顧你的基地和敵人的基地，僅僅是查看有什么變化，這將很大程度上改進(jìn)你的整體意識(shí)，并使得敵人更難偷襲你。

It is a good idea to use bookmarks; set them up as soon as possible at key locations and use them as much as possible. With this, the use of hotkeys is essential; it will save you huge amounts of time if you are able to do this consistently, and also help you get buildings up faster; both will be considerable advantages if you're facing an opponent who isn't using them.

使用標(biāo)簽是個(gè)好主意；盡可能快的在關(guān)鍵地點(diǎn)設(shè)置標(biāo)簽，盡可能多的使用它們。借助它們，熱鍵的使用是必須的。如果你可以一貫這樣做，它將節(jié)約你大量的時(shí)間，并且可以幫助你更快的發(fā)展，兩者都是你對(duì)抗敵人的巨大優(yōu)勢(shì)。（如果你的對(duì)手不會(huì)用標(biāo)簽的話）

Watch the replays of some of the top players several times through their points of view. Watch how they scout, and watch what counters they make at which points in the match, and try to adapt and implement that into your play. In addition, watching your own replays and looking at where to improve would also be a great idea.

多以高手的視角來(lái)看看他們的錄像，看看他們是怎么進(jìn)行偵察的，看看他們?cè)谑裁吹攸c(diǎn)用什么抵抗，試著接受并把這些融入到你的操作中。此外，多看看你自己的錄像，看看哪里需要改進(jìn)也是個(gè)好主意。

Finally, practice. Practice, practice, practice, and don't give up. This can't be emphasized enough. You can only get better by playing, especially against higher-ranked players, and learn from both your wins and your losses.

最后，練習(xí)。練習(xí)，練習(xí)，練習(xí)，永遠(yuǎn)不要放棄。怎么強(qiáng)調(diào)都不為過(guò)。你只可能通過(guò)對(duì)戰(zhàn)變得更強(qiáng)，特別是與高手對(duì)戰(zhàn)。
