Not to derail too much, but we need to get a session of AoE (I or II, the classics) going, since it's been mentioned. It's been ages since I last played that game against anyone (or Co-op deathmatch against a computer player). So my skill might be a tad rusty.
Maybe I should open a thread about this in Other Games/Play With Your Buddies? Just in case anyone's interested.
Damn shame nether of those games can be Livestreamed though. I even looked for a way to play them windowed; nothing.
However Starcraft is a different case.

Oh, I came across something incredibly useful some time ago for developing mass-production strategies and whatnot for deathmatch mode especially. It's an Excel file however. It calculates timing of making many units based on mow many buildings you are using to make them, and tallies the cost and such. Basic instructions are included inside the file. Of course, it's for one unit type at a time; and calculates according to the base unit (like Knight for all the way up to paladins and such).
Oh, and it also includes building speed according to how many builders you have on task as well (including how many building of the same type you're making as well).
Freaking useful for deathmatch indeed.
