If u think about it, in a NE vs UD match up, send your ghoul and wreak havoc in their base. It only works vs NE and he will only have a wisp and even if he uproots his ancient, your job is done because he has to unroot also. U probably think, Whats a ghoul going to do? kill his workers. a single ghoul can kill 5-7 wisps before a NE player can get a hero. Once he gets a hero, (you can take archers if he tries) send your ghoul back and make sure you have a hero being built with ghouls and attack with like a hero and 3-4 ghouls while still building one for wood and building ziggurates.

Example: It was a 2v2 NEVsUd both of us were undead and both of them were NE. We rushed with ghouls, and he got KOTG then i brought in lich and 2 more ghouls totaling 3 ghouls, he did same and we got them extremely early. This is not to be used in any scenario except a plain NE vs UD, because humans are fasat builders, and orcs have burrows.

Only if both of you are Undead also, (unless you realy want to risk it.) because his partner will most likely teleport. This will also give an open oppertunity if he isn't UD to rush him with whatever other race and then your partner has a defenceless base.

For such a simple strategy it will cream a NE play and whould be used responsably because i have seen morons try it on me when i was Undead. this only works against NE and is also an old strat but i post it nonetheless.

I have been thinking about this strat vs NE also but I tried it against the comp and it didn't really work that well with the speed of getting the ghoul over to the com.

Ghoul rushing is a great idea, but a bad one at the same time. The Undead where never built to attack early, but Ghouls can do some serious havoc. Just research Cannibalize and use some Crypt Fiends with a hero to back up. I very much doubt it will win, but it leaves bases in wrecks. And Spirit Towers can help defend your base quite well if it doesn't work out too well.

Check out the replay i think we had the match in the bag the whole time. PPl don't realize the NE are a waeak race full of weak women the undead shall conquer all.

Im so happy u all think that. the thing is i spend more time practising against 2-3 comps (which i have beaten 3 comps now easily) and replays and stuff. I know what works and what doesnt. I like speed theivery and quick attacks. I try to never lose a unit, and take as little damage as possible. I always have the Lich to back me up along with a dreadlord to empower me.

See most of you guys play RT (random Teams) and don't know the full power of the NE (which is scary)

I under stand the Ne can be strong, they just have a very slow start. they have ranged first, while the others have meele first and can put them far behind. But by Tier 1 and a half and 2 they catch up quick with good units.

Well, if things get really bad for a NE in the start, they can always uproot, but that can cripple their economy. Usually, NE players go a fast alter and an imidiate DH, which can typically stop these rushes before things get too bad. I would probibly just run my wisps around until the DH gets out.

The ghoul can be a distraction and a nusence for until u get ur hero there. Run ur wisps around they wont be working and that is a bad thing.

I love killing Ghouls :D But with NE, they start off damn slow and can't go on a killing spree, which means the POTM will start off slow for Starfall, which means no fun, which means skirmishing the other teams which have Melee units and you have ranged, which means dead POTM half the time, which means a very frustrated person and a rare Starfall. I think Blizzard designed it that way.....
