After playing with humans for like 3 monthes straight i want to get into night elfs. Im slowing getting into them, so share with me some of your nightelf tactics. Whats good nowadays.
Im doing it for fun and thats the purpose of the game.N_ said:wow youve been saying n00belves for ages and you want to start one?
I would just stay as HU if I were you, switching races doesnt do you any good.
but let me just say this:
UD - Kotg + mass hunts and hippos when they come air
NE - Beastmaster/DH + Mass hunts and glaives. Or you can go Kotg + Archers and then go for riders.
HU - I like using my strategy guide for this.
ORC - I dont know what others do, but from what I do, I just go normal like I do, and change my tactics from there depending on situation Im in.
You made that orc section too long, its simplehYbr1d. said:bm is just too awesome... the only losses ive got so far with ne is due to bad micro =/ ie: my hero gets nuked when i have potions of healing and invul or i get creep jacked or push too hard in an attack/counter. heres wat i do...
always go 2 AoW. this way if u get rushed by a swarm of 1st tier u can easily defend/counter. second when u are teching to tier 2 attack. i usually have about 7 hunts maybe a glaive or 2. when u attack make sure u see wat units hes going for.
hu - at tier 2 i build 2 lores then tech to 3rd tier get abolish magic and get bears and yads unless he goes air then i go hypo dotts archers. i always 90% can get a fast expo up while im teching to tier 2 this helps ALOT. (always start ur expo when u attack so its done by the time ur attack is over)
ud - at tier 2 when i have dotts and a few yads i attack usually works if not i grab an mg or 2 and then go back (if he necrowagons i get fairie dragons and use wisps along with mgs and ranged)
orc - orc can be a bitch... im lvl 26 and just about every orc player i solo rushes me with fs and grunts... i even had to deal with fs 5 grunts and towers =S all i had was like 5 or 6 hunts and my bm. i always get summon bear vs orc and focus fire the wolves first... then the weak grunts etc... fs dances around way too much... as for the towers i attack em just b4 they get built. MAKE SURE to micro ur hunts and run them back to moon wells when they have low health (one at a time) this way by the time its over ur bm is crazy lvled and fs is still at 1. throw in a glaive and some archers and tear it up.
otherwise if its a long game vs orc heavy ground u need chims and vs air u need dotts yads archers. mass hypos is a bad idea b/c of bats suicide but if u see no bats throw in some hypos.
ne mirror - UGH i hate mirror.. its the same bullshit every time... mass hunts and glaives with either dh or potm... again i go bm with bear and quill. i mostly try for mercs in mirror matches. i get hunts glaives and watever mercs are on the map (try for piercing attack mercs and healing mercs) try and out tech ur opponent and get yads (in most ne mirror ppl rush for dotts first if u have yads with abolish mag ur a step ahead since fairy fire is useless on u and u can slow their units) watever u dont dont get bears vs ne... every time some gets bears vs me they lose... bears take too long and by that time ill have mercs archers yads dotts and an mg to own with
for a second hero i just get watever i need... if his hero pisses me off i get kotg or dr if not then naga to pwn smaller units like caster/ranged anyway thats wat i do... comments would be nice
Maybe you didnt read my post, or maybe you didnt understand my post at all.hYbr1d. said:most orc players i solo fs harass or use bm and kill off wisps. 99% of the time they do it to fast tech to wyverns or watever so i always at least scout and see. and if they stay at tier 1 too long its easy... 1 or 2 dotts with some yads and hunts will rip thru orc first tier... i love when they dont tech. anyway u let orc get late game and its usually loss for ne as taurens, bats, walkers and docs will own
