How would I transfer data over the network? What kind of commands must I initialize in my program to set up the Network? What commands do I use Networking? I am making an RTS in Windows and will use DirectX. Also, if you have any ideas about what a player can/cannot do in an RTS, available units, optional commands, etc., I''m all ears. -Ace

You are really jumping the gun abit. First become proficient in c++ then move on to more difficult tasks. Make a single plater text based rpg first, then move on to multiplayer text based and on from there. By then you should have enough of a grasp on the language to progress to the hard stuff.
