Topic: Warcraf strategy refinement plz

Hi guys.

I recently watched two top NE players play each other, and one of them used mass ballistas. It was incredibly effective, because of course hunts are unarmored and archers have basically the same amount of life as a peon that packed up on lunch. Of course ballista placement and timing are crucial. But, i was thinking about ballistas versus UD. Does ansyone think this will work? i've tried a few games and it worked fine but..maybe the experience level of my opponent just made the strategy worok -_-. Of course the problem is, if your opponent just sends all his ghouls to ur ballistas and let them mess around there. I've tried different strategy variations such as buildling AoW near hte opponent's base and using them as the meat shield. But anyway, tips and advice would be appreciated

kthx lemon

I'm old skewl, lol. What I was shown to do (By Io before he sold his account) was, as NE, start with the Warden as your hero and skip over the archers and make hunts asap. Next add Druid of the Talon for their Faerie Fire and archers to go with. Many of his games didn't last much longer than 15-20 minutes since he had his strategy totally mastered. Undead players feared his skillz rofl.

His building order was simple too:

Altar of Elders
(simultaniously) Ancient of War
(simultaniously) Hunters Hall
Moon well(s)
Upgrade Tree of Life
Ancient of Winds
Moon well(s)
Upgrade Tree of Life (again)

I haven't seen him do much deviation from that unless he came across some very unique strategies. Just don't forget to build up your wisps and add some Ancient Protectors. From there, its all your own personal preference on strategy because he never used the same strategy twice when attacking.
