1. There is no best race
2. Build workers until you have enough workers to kill the enemy, this rush always works

ok ty

1. I DEFINATELY suggest playing as random, so you get to learn to play all four races. Even if you end up only playing one, you have to know the other so you know what your up against.

2. There some disputes in this area, but I'll try to post a basic start for each race. These are basic slow-teching ways to start, and differ depending on what your plan is.

Human: 3 peasents to gold, Alter and Barracks. Build peasent. 1st peasent out to farm. 2 more peasents to gold, make plenty for lumber

Undead: 2 acos to gold, 1 build crypt, alter, then send it to gold. Ghoul on lumber. 1st aco out to build a ziggurat, then to gold. Fill up mine, and when crypt is done, pump out ghouls

Orc- 3 to gold, one to barracks, one to burrow. 1st peon out to lumber, build an alter when you get the cash.

Night Elf- (this one is my preferencem but its disputed): ALL wisps to gold, first one out to alter, second to well, third to WAR. Then LOTS of wisps on lumber (you will use them later to make buildings, so you should have a surpluss).

Hope that helps!

Man i can guess right now that will help! thanks a bunch dude

Orc: 3 to gold, 1 to build burrow, 1 to build barracks. Create 1 more Peon to get Gold. When burrow is done, send Peon to lumber. When Barracks are done, send to lumber. Build 3 Grunts. Build Altar. Summon any hero you want if you have the money. Once summoning Hero, build second Burrow with gold mining Peon. Build 5 Headhunters. Go off to kill. Killer kinda quick strategy.

1... there is no best race

2. everything what swooper said is good except for the elves. Elves suck up wood. Put 3 towards the gold, one towards a moon well, the other to an altar and just set the rally point for your tree of life to the trees. After a while when you start to need more gold, grab the a few from the trees and put them on the mine.

That's what I do. If you notice when I play, I use very little resources and I tend to come out somewheres near the top. (1st or 2nd place, if we win that is.)

Human is my main race, here is the build order i found to be the best

4 Peons on gold, 1 on barracks, next peon goes to gold, next goes to a farm, next goes to lumber, when farm builder gets done, build another farm, when barracks gets done, train 2 footmen and send peon to lumber. Build 3 farms with that one peon, and train up to 7 footmen. When you get your 11th peon from your hall, build an alter. By now you should have 3 farms, a barracks, 5 or so footmen, and an alter building. Once you get your hero you should have 7 footmen and research defend and you should have a hero. Go creep and wing it like I do

My elf tactic seems to work... 1 to gold, 2 to wood, 1 to build altar, one to build moon well, + build a wisp.
Then when you got 70 wood, the wisp should be done, he should build AOW, send the 2 wisps that were getting wood directly to gold, and when you have enough money, buy one more wisp that you send to gold, then send the rest to wood. Build a hero, get 15 in food usage.

and the rest you`ll have to figure out yourself

You fool

Undead: send 2 acolytes to the gold mine and ghoul to lumber. send other acolyte to build a ziggerate crypt and alter all at once in whatever strategic location u want. send that acolyte to gold, then build two more colytes for gold. As you get 250 gold, build a graveyard(you should have enough money and time for a graveyard Let's just say if you run out of money in time for your crypt being finished before you get your graveyard you ****ed up)When the alters done, build hero, when crypt is done build a few ghouls, maybe like 3 or 4 then build a ziggyrate. Remember to keep graveyard near the trees, because if u plan on using ghouls, ull need the lumber to last. Thats all from the brain of the biggest undead fan out there. if only...
