How does that work? I could mash that in with Dryads, DotTs and a few Archers and Hunts and..... nvm.....

You can use Grunts/Raiders/Shams in solo as well. But if you insist, I'd go for Wyvs, Batriders and Shams.

NE can counter grunt rush if they defend with huntress... be it 1v1 or RT...i've seen it... yes... the huntress will lose to a grunt if they fight 1 on 1... but the problem lies in the fact u can produce them fast... unlike a grunt... and with the moon wells... it is quite hard to kill huntresses in early game... except maybe for archers

you know, as much as i hate to admit it, i agree with you here, havocidal :) -hunts are so easy to produce eatly in the game and theres no clear early counter to them- archers or trolls or gunners all do the piercing damage, but have middle armor so they take extra damage as well, but all have much less HP than hunts- the only thing that i dissagree with here is that grunts can be produced fast now- well, not as fast as footies or something, but you can have an equal number if not more because of the additional building required for the NE to begin making hunts- so more or less the only thing that you can do is attack before they get too many.... the only question that i have about hunts is how, if theyre unarmored, they dont take extra damage from grunts? wouldnt a huge axe or whatever they have kill someone who wasnt wearing armor? hmm....

take this for example 8 hunts vs 8 grunts the galve attacks go to d2 or 3 different units and that would damage them pretty low health and after u kil one kill other kill other ans so on if a hunt gets low hp micro!!!!

you are still overlooking the other point which i brought up earlier- hunts do normal damage, which mows heads... and the minimum range on demos doesnt work against em.... to put it bluntly, hunts need to be nerfed badly

hunts have already been nerfed badly... even though i am an orc player... i feel sorry for the elves now that they are unarmored... and their damage has been reduced badly... if u look carefully... blizzard has been nerfing huntresses since patch 1.00 if u take a look...

Yeah, true. You bump as bad as The_Art_Of_War as well.

As I said before, 'lusted Raiders with splash Wyv and WD works quite well.

No the biggest enemy of bloodlust is undead, and destroyers. think about it, they have no mana limit to devour mana. therefore, unlike dispel, they steal the mana, and use it against you.

pure ownage for casters. that nad they cant even attack the destroyers.

also, a good Ne unit is the faere dragon, and that will rape your caster before he even casts it.

Orc vs NE.....Orc should probably win......I won with a couple of Grunts, Taurens, shaman, WD and Spirit walkers, a blademaster and a chieften.....against 8 mountain giants, his sea witch and his archers. I only lost my Chieften and 2 grunts....shocking. Tey to beat that.

The best thing to do would be rely on Raiders and Grunts. Maybe 'lusted too if you're not facing mass Archers.
If you can say that archers are 3/3 (Tree of Eternity Plus time), then you can say that walking around with tauren is also legit... Also I would go tauren. If anyone straight techs they're either dumb or just soooo bad. Always get grunts + a hero or two to fend off any midgame or early game tactics until you can get your tauren + casters.
