UD Fast Expand


1. All acolytes to gold, all ghouls to wood.
2. Queue up two acolytes and place rally point on gold.
3. Build a Crypt.
4. Build an Altar.
5. Build a Ziggurat.
6. Train an acolyte and send him to the enemies base to scout.
7. Build a Graveyard.
8. Constantly build ghouls.
9. Train a dreadlord once your ziggurat finishes.
10. Build a Tomb of Relics after you start training your dreadlord.
11. Then build another ziggurat, you should have 5 ghouls before this ziggurat finishes.
12. Once the store finishes, buy a sacrificial skull and a rod of necromancy. Remember to keep building ghouls.
13. Build a ziggurat once you have around 6-7 ghouls.
14. Queue up an acolyte, place the rally point near a gold mine. Place it far enough away to not get attacked by the creeps.
15. Once you have 7 ghouls you can creep the nearest gold mine. This number of ghouls varies from map to map. On Turtle Rock and Twisted Meadows you need at least 7. Lost temple needs only about 5.
16. Before you creep the mine, use the sacrificial skull to make some blight. Sleep one of the creeps and attack.
17. While the battle is going on, use the acolyte to build two ziggurats on the blight. When you have enough money, haunt the goldmine. Get a Necropolis there too. Building additional ziggurats for safety is recommended.
18. Once ziggurats finish, upgrade them to spirit towers. This will help defend the expansion.
19. Watch the replay to figure out how I won.

This strategy works very well against UD vs UD matchups. The fast expansion should get you enough money to out ghoul the other player. Even if he has better micro than you, you will win because you have the money. A replay of this strategy is attached. The guy I was playing against was level 11.
