Weird Strategy

[Blightsower]

So, ive been watching this guy on youtube by the name WTii and i saw his really weird strategy called burrow rush. Its very fun to watch. Can i ask u guys if u have any weird strategy such as burrow rush? Oh and mention the race too.

 

[Warseeker]

A strategy? In what...?

 

[Blightsower]

Sorry i forgot to mention. Talking about warcraft 3 melee game

 

[Warseeker]

You mean like an AI editor of Warcraft III ?

 

[Blightsower]

No im talking about the warcraft 3 game it self where u need to make a base and build ur army. Wha is ur unit composition? Strategy?

 

[Warseeker]

Yes, it's called the AI. Personally it's depend on the race. I change formation on every wave, Once I complete my entire base construction/Upgrade/Training, It's game time!

 

[Blightsower]

Ya thats the AI strategy mass units then attack. Look up burrow rush where u will build burrows on enemy base right from the start its fun to watch.

offtopic- look at my post count it remains 244 even if i recently posted 3

He is not referring to the AI Editor, he's speaking of strange tactics and strategies that can be used during melee games.

As for me, I don't have really "weird strategies" as I'm a little noob in melee games :3 Does "militia rush" at the beginning of the game count as a somewhat weird strategy?

 

[Blightsower]

ive seen militia rush and its called tower rush. u first make militia then make towers on enemy base. hehe its so fun to watch.

For me, there are only two types of strategies: Effective and ineffective ones.
An unorthodox strategy can be useful, under certain circumstances.

One tactic that was used against me once was with humans, quickly setting up lumbermill, altar, keep and arcane vault, rushing to the enemies' base and try killing him with mass towers inside his base.
Was a total failure, though.

About my own tactics.... I don't talk about them.

 

[Blightsower]

how about banshees and destroyers? curse enemies then devour it hehe

Noobiest Melee thread in the history of WC3

Common tactic. That's why it has a known name, "militia rush."

Anyway, nope, got none. Once beat EMC in a tiny melee tournament on Hive over a year ago with a tower rush as HU vs UD, but that's not weird. Probably only slightly unorthodox.

But yeah, WTii's vids are great. I do watch all his custom games and custom melee map ones but occasionally view his vids about trying melee strategies.

 

[Blightsower]

haha noobiest thread. its hard to start a discussion anyways i was trying to find more strats cause im lazy to invent my own ill be trying any strat

 

[Shar Dundred]

Too lazy for an own strategy? Hmm.. Smells like Chaosy 2.0.

Seriously, experiment around instead of using tactics from other people. Way more effective.

 

[Blightsower]

i suck at micro or should i say playing warcraft melee in general haha so ill just steal people's strategy and win in a very cheap way. im a sore loser like that hahaha.

 

[Warseeker]

Why stealing people strategy? This is warcraft, not the World War III

 

[Blightsower]

im lazy, gimme some strats

 

[Shar Dundred]

Train units--->Kill the enmy

Done.

 

[Blightsower]

hehehe more specific pls

 

[Shar Dundred]

Train non-worker units.

 

[Xonok]

Train only acolytes. Proceed to rek face. Link

 

[Blightsower]

omg this

I played over 1000 games on b.net mostly using offbeat strategies, these are my favourite ones with each race
1) As Undead, unsummon your altar as soon as death knight is spawned, proceed to build 2nd crypt and mass ghouls (most effective against elf, sometimes even used on pro level)
2) tower rush as human - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-68ofxUbXU (very rare strategy, again most effective against elf, in RoC also viable against orc and undead with some small modifications)
3) in RoC, towercreeping with orc (build tower close to a creepcamp, pull creeps, get xp&item super early) - in TFT, this doesn't work because if tower kills a creep, you don't get xp
4) as elf, uproot ancient protectors built close to enemy base and attac with them (some huntresses needed in early game)

My friend did this to me, first time he won because of the element of surprise. Then he never won again.

 

[DaneTheBeast]

There is also Island strategy

 

[Blightsower]

Tower rush on human is hard to pull off on other races.

tower island ive seen it, it consumes alot of time and resource

 

[Kaijyuu]

An old favorite of mine is to play as orc, turtle up with tons of towers, tech to batriders, and go snipe town halls. This never results in a win if your opponent actually sticks around, but in low ranked games it often causes people to ragequit.

 

[Warseeker]

Human ---> Defense
Orc ---> Attack
NighElf ---> Furtive
Undead ---> Quick (Defense & Attack)

 

[Blightsower]

Bump*

i just watched a strange strategy. Play night elf get to tier 2 then mass ancients of war

 

[Shar Dundred]

If you forget about the Tier 2 thing, that's how I played the first Nightelf mission of RoC back then.

 

[Eagle XI]

Hmm, lemme guess: You thought ancient of war to be their melee unit since there was none to train anywhere ?

 

[Shar Dundred]

No, I considered the archers alone too weak. I think, that is, has been a few years...
