Warcraft 3: I am Computer Easy's Bitch - Why?

[JJWalker]

I can not for the life of me figure out multiplayer Warcraft 3. Even against 1 computer easy I just get totally owned. I've tried several online games and wind up getting creamed there as well. What *is* the build strategy? Are there any sites that have tutorials?

Back in WC2 days, I used to kick some major ass on multiplayer but have not figured out what the key is on WC3 yet.


Any help?

The custom game computer is insanely difficult. My brother and I usually team up against two Easy computers. Sometimes a Normal and an Easy.

As for build strategy, I always build an altar first to get a hero, followed by barracks. While I churn out troops, I go creeping with my hero.

warcraftstrategy.com, d/l the replays and watch the pro's play.

here's a generic start for online battle.net, this should work if you play against very low lvl ppl.
at start of game, put eveyone on gold mine then take out 2 workers from the gold mine to build altar and farm.
At the same time, keep building workers.
When you have 5 workers on gold mine, put the rest on wood
and then save for a unit making building. Then start creating units.

Yeah, the computer enemies used to whip my arse too. Now with Frozen Throne there's more tweaking but I can rarely take an insane computer.
