Frost Wyrms

Ok, i have seen this alot with alot of races. People try to Tech straight to frost wyrms. Who agrees with me that this is a realy stupid plan. Think about it, you won't creep and even if u get around too it the opponent will already be ahead of you. You can't build to much defense because the bone pit is the same cost as a Necropolis, and each frost wyrm cost like 400 gold along with freezing breath and full upgrades. Combine that with a 500 gold extra hero. That is expensive, lengthy and all out crappy. Who here goes straight for the last unit in their tech-tree? i have seen it happen with orcs and going straight for taurens and shamans. I have seen it with NE where Chimeras are their main concern and the same with gryphons for humans.

I am a great undead player (at least I think I am)?? And I think this is a true "NEWB" strat. I have a way cooler strat then this.. I dont even get Frost Worms.

I get a variaty of units and go slowly up the tech tree. this way I can have my Basic / Piersing units and never the less spell casters (necromancers). You dont need to waste all your money on frost Wyrms when you can beat your opponent wi'll getting a variaty of units. These are the units and Heros that I get:

Units:

Ghouls (collects Lumber and good for rushing)
Necromancer(Raises Millions of Skeletons)
Crypt Fiends (Great For Anti Air)
Abominatoins ( Brutal!!)

heros:

I get the DreadLord and the Death Knight as my heros. I get to have 2 auras this way (the Vampiric Aura and Unholy Aura)

I think teching to frosties will only work if your in a team game and your ally is an orc. So he can go ground and protect you will you tech. And frosties will work better if you have a Death Knight with a few necros.

Frosty's are hugely strong, with splash damage and about 150 average dmg w/ full upgrades. Teching to them is foolish, yes, but mixing in 2 or 3 with your army can easily win the fight. Anyone who goes mass wyrms isn't likely to win. Unholy frenzied frost wyrms will tear apart any unit one on one

I like to make a fleet of them, but i know this is costly so I get my defenses up first and haunt a second gold mine. then i get some frost wyrms and attack and watch frosties die

I've tried mass frost worms before in a 2v2, and completely raped a level 12 with it. It can work, but you have to do it correctly.

Hey, 8 Spirit Towers kick FWs' butts. Archers fully upgraded can screw them as well. They're slow, slow to attack, lame, but you can't really fight without them. Strange FW...
