As in which race should be your first?

Orc, easy. You have a couple of options, Mass Wyvern/bats (can later turn to NE for hippo/chim), Mass Zerker/casters/pults (Humans riflecasters), Mass tauren + Spirit walkers, Grunts/headhunts/pults (NE in general), Raiders/casters/wyv (Undead)

Orc imo is the "branching race" for all races :p

I think you meant to make it a single choice, not multiple, because I checked all 4.

I voted UD because UD usually gets their hero out late, and if they are stupid enough to forget their frost tower, then you have no problem killing 3-5 acos easily with your FS...A Kotg with you could also fetch you a few ghouls.

However, if they get a frost tower up...

*Gulp*

Ud has got to be the funnest race to harass, cause it is so easy to exploit the fundamental weaknesses of the undead race. A teching undead is screwed by killing 1 acolyte, cause gold shop they cant mine. A frost tower has never slowed me down once. Ghouls are so fun to pick off, they are like walking exp tomes. I have got to love messing with them, screwing with thier heads. so damn easy

Until they get a frost tower. Make more acolytes then. Wait no that would be a waste sinse they are the only race that needs to make five workers.

WOW...i find UD the hardest race to harass. It seems that all UD players make a frost tower...and that makes it impossible to get in and OUT! my favorite was NE or HU..i love killinng NE wisps and HU militia!
I love destroying burrows too...but sometimes the guy is smart enough to start fixing...
Gryphons destroy burrows in matters of seconds!!! It is really funny! so if you are going mass air with humans...dont forget to send the gryphons over to their base and eat up their burrows...

That's because UD is the third hardest race to harass.

NightElf
Human
Undead
Orc

NightElf can harass a Human base easily if they don't get the tower. but they can do this guso build where there's only one way into there base and they can block the exit with a footmen or peasent call to arms 5 workers or if you're near by use your units gotta tp out. How often is a dk attacking a NE wisp 99% how often is a dh killing aco's with the 100 gold frost tower up? 0%

The only races that are reasonable to harass is Human and NE. Ancients just avoid them.

I use it, one entrance that you block and the hero cannot escape without tp-ing.

THis one entrance thing is not always to your advantage...sometimes when orcs rush you with grunts...your units can get stuck outside of your base and end up dying...it is really annoying!

I agree the only races that are easy to harass are HU and NE...

I think that UD is harder then orc, if you're Orc then you have to burrow which in itself is already crapping up your resources. Besides, burrows are easy to kill especially with AOE. UD is the hardest race to harrass because of ice towers + 3-4 ghouls.

Triple or Double ghoul rushes are fun, until the enemy begins to use AoE spells like Blizzard. Its easy on orcs and night elves, hard on the humans.
