As you learn maps, the race you play, and the Creeps, you will soon be able to know if you should attack a Creep camp or not. Fatal mistakes in the beginning can cost you the entire game. One of those mistakes is losing your whole army to...

Placing more than 5 Human Peasants or Orc Peons on a Gold MineFive is the maximum number of units that can mine depending on what direction the town hall is placed. If you place more than 5, they will stack up and won't be actually doing anything. Using these extra workers to mine ties up supply and can push a player to higher Upkeep levels for no reason. However, on some maps and positions the Town Hall may be placed too far from the Gold Mine which could require as many as 6 or 7 Peons to mine the Gold Mine. Make sure you have enough workers to mine a Gold Mine effectively. Focusing too hard on targeting specific unitsRead more. Attacking Superior ForcesYou should have an idea by looking at the enemy whether you're going to win or not.

Not Expanding Fast EnoughIn smaller 1 vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2 games you often have to get an expansion very early. Clear out a Gold Mine so you will be ready. You do not want to have to start an expansion as your Gold Mine is running out. Not Giving Resources to allies before leaving the gameIf you have to leave a game and your allies continue playing, open up the allies menu and give all your resources to your ally. This may help them win the game. Allies will still be able to control your buildings and units after you leave the game. It's just better for them to spend the resources on their troops rather than on yours. Not Taking Control over dropped players towns or towns of players who have left the gameOnce a player drops from the game or leaves the game, allies can take control over that person's town.
