Warcraft III, Early Human Strategy

Warcraft III is one of my favourite games. I use to play it with my brother. (Yeah I have a brother. I will talk about him here.) Warcraft III is better played with friends. If you are alone at home, you can join the Battle.net and play with or against Warcraft III players around the world. Interesting isn't it?

There are 4 races you can choose. Human, Orc, Night Elf and Undead. The story of Warcraft III can be found here. I personally choose human. I can't play the other races, even they are pretty similar. I think you will find more resources if you search on google ^^; (yeah, i can't tell you much because i'm not that competent in Warcraft III)

Here I will tell you my strategy in Warcraft III. As a human, I have several advantages. Peasants can be a militia and they can help you creeping. Peasants are cheap. They only cost you 75 gold and use 1 food. Compare to the footman (that is cost 135 gold and use 2 food), they have similar attack damage, but the most difference is that peasant has an ultra low hp, 225, compare to footman 425. In the beginning of the game I order 4 peasants to gold mine, 1 to build barrack and shift build the farm and shift to harvest lumber (Shift is the order sequence) In the very early game, you won't need any hero. The game will be determined by who has the more number. Next I will build 3 peasants. The first peasant come out build the farm and shift build to altar and shift to harvest lumber. The second peasant come out rally to the gold mine. The third peasant come out harvest lumber, and build another peasant, rally to harvest lumber). After the barrack completed, build footman until it reach 4. After the altar complete, train your hero (I choose archmage as it can summon water elemental to help you creep) You will upgrade your town hall to keep as soon as your resources allowed. Now choose 1 peasant to build another farm and shift build to blacksmith. After the farm finished, create 2 more peasants and rally to harvest lumber. Choose one of them to build another farm. You will already have your footman and hero creeping at this time. Create 3 more footman and rally it to your hero. Train another hero.

I think this early human strategy is completed. After this step, you will build your army with your own desired. You'd better know what your enemy is playing and build the counter for them. That's why continuous spying is really important. You can train a peasant, change to militia and send them spying. Don't forget to expand as you will need more resources.
