I am sucking very bad in the multi player mode vs the computer. Is there any place I can look preferably download a guide to warcraft 3. I am looking for more detailed info than that provided with the included manuals on spells, items, points, and such for heros, buildings, and units. I also want to know build stategies and ways to counter the computer. I have been playing it this last week and have although I am doing pretty well in the game, I get slaughtered by the computer opponents in multiplayer regardless of race. I have not tried the battle net yet becuase of some major lag issues so have been sticking to the computer.
 
Don't feel like you suck because you get beat by the computer. The computer on WC3 can control every single unit at the same exact time, while you and I are stuck in the reality of only being able to control 1 unit or group of units at a time. Therefore, the computer has a very easy time countering your attacks and you'll often see the computer win battles it really shouldn't because of that.

If you want to know a good way to beat the computer, build up a strong base defense and then "lure" them into it. What I mean by that is attack a single enemy unit then run back to your base. The computer will follow with all his troops and you should make quick work of them. Afterwards, the computer will often keep sending individual units at your defenses as he produces them, wasting money and allowing you to build up and expand in the process. It's the same AI flaw as was present in StarCraft.

The computer may be fast, but it doesn't have the intelligence to keep up with you in the long run if you play defensively. Just keep in mind playing defensively against human opponents works just the opposite and most often results in your death.

Don't try to outbuild or outrush the computer cause it's probably not going to happen.

And if you want to see fast build orders, save your replays vs the computer and watch how it builds 🙂
 
Great infor everyone.

FluxCapacitor, I can see how that might work, but if you mainly play defensively I find myself with my heros stuck at level 2 or 3 fighting a computer with heros at 8 - 10.
