    This beginner video quickly went from "you rally 5 peons into gold mine" into "oh, now I am gonna spread my army in two and micro accordingly, and then I will proceed to fight my opponent with heavy multitasking for another two minutes". :D
    Nice game, but a true beginner probably didn't have clue what the hell was going on.

      yea you honestly have to figure it out yourself a bit.
      pierce dmg - deals bonus dmg to light armor. normal dmg to medium armor. lower dmg to Heavy armor.
      Normal dmg - deals bonus dmg to medium armor, deals normal dmg to heavy armor, deals lower dmg to light armor.
      magic dmg - deals bonus dmg to heavy armor, deals normal dmg to light armor, deals lower dmg to medium armor.
      Chaos dmg = 100% everything.
      Siege only good vs. buildings + tanks/Catapults etc.
      Hero dmg deals about normal dmg to everything except buildings.
      Now you check units and think of counters :D good luck mate. i also dont know it very well :D

      @@yokiyoky2678 If you go to Mojo Stormstout's WarCraft III Strategy Guide (UA-cam will probably eat this post if I actually post the link), it has a page in the Basics section on Armor and Weapon Types. Although this site is out of date with respect to balance changes, as far as I know the Armor and Weapon Types stuff hasn't changed since the release of The Frozen Throne (this page has tables for both The Frozen Throne and the original Reign of Chaos). Basically everything (even Piercing) does 100% damage to Heavy Armor except for Magic damage, which is 200%. Medium Armor takes bonus damage from Normal attacks, but reduced damage from everything else unless some attack has a special ability on it like Mortar Team's Fragmentation Shells upgrade. Note that Unarmored takes bonus damage from Siege, so Raiders are actually pretty good for killing casters if they can get to them (and Mortar Team's Fragmentation Shells upgrade adds even more damage on top of Siege for this)..

      i think that's too complex. it would have to be a 16-part series of videos, each one like an hour long with branching decision making trees from starting hero + units to tech speed vs expand to late game etc. What COULD be done in a single video might be running through every UNIT and tier-listing what units are good vs bad against it. but even then things like heroes / auras / unit combinations / map circumstances mean all of those things are conditional.

    Grubby is right, of course(who am I to question the god/legend?), but there are some variations to this. For instance, if you got a grunt built, which you usually will against Elff, you can actually put only 6 peons on wood, since grunts don't consume wood and when you finally hit tier 2 shaman adept training is not really that espensive in terms of wood. This allowd you to dely your third burrow, and get Berserker Strenght which you need since grunts will be used up to tier 3. If you got a wyvern or raider build, which is only useful against Undead, then you actually should put 8 peons on lumber since the wqood drain is great. But I really don't recommend this unless you have Lyn's micro(hint: you don't). 7 peons on lumber is the "standard" since TFT came out in 2003. This is the ideal number for head hunter build and also to cover all your bases. Even if you are going a grunt build or wyvern build, 7 peons is the best risk/reward ratio. 6 or 8 is more dangerous because of the trade-0ffs, 6 allows you to delay your third burrow and squeeze out more units, but if the Elf surprises you with talons, you won't have wood for walkers and you absolutely need walkers. If you go 8, that speeds up your need for third burrow and makes you vulnerable to ghouls rush.
    Gruby is right. For Elf, it's always 10. For UD 3 unless the UD is going TeD fiends build, in which case 4 is better. Human always goes 9 on 1 base and 11-12 on 2 bases depending on whether they are stayin on tier 2 or going tier 3. At tier 2, which they usually do against Elf and some times againt Orc, it's 11 because it means mostly an army of footmen and mass casters. If they go tier, which they always go against UD and some times against Orc when gold allows, then it's `1 because it means that they will be massing copters, which is a huge drain on wood. Most Humans also don't get masonry upgrade 3 since 200 gold is quite a lot of gold in WC3 and ijn a tight game that means an extra copter that makes all the difference in a tight fight.
    "Ideally" you should creep the brown(level 2) camps straight away, or go straighty to competing camps against your opponent to stop his hero levels. This is especially true for Orc Vs Human and UD, as letting Human have economy advantsge is suicidal for Orc, and allowing DK to reach level 3 before your tier 2 is done means that your chances of winning are already down 50%. But creeping intermediate camps with a level 1 hero and 2-3 units or harrassing the creeping of your opponent with only a hero is for more advanced players, and requires a refinement and precision of micro that begginer and intermediate players lack. If you are the kind of guy that puts your entire army and heroes in a single control group and don't bother controlling the skills of your heroes, of your units and units with special skills separately and have a 90 APM, there is a very strong possibility that you will lose your entire army and heroes trying to do this. Grubby's advice on creeping green first, and getting a decently sized army before you engage with your opponent is better.
    Asa begginer player, you only need to know creep routes, the 3 basic Orc builds and the timings for your heroes to hit levels. The 3 basic buids are : classic grunt build, head hunter build and straight tech to wyvern build. There are many more advanced variations of these 3, but they are all just building on those 3,. You also need to know heroes and order for matchups. Against UD, it's either BM or FS first depending on map, followed by TC and SH. Against Human, always FS first, followed by TC with SH being optional if tier 3. Against Orc, it's either FS first if going HH build, with either SH or Panda second depending if your opponet is going grunts or HH. Or tower rush with Firelord second, but this is not recommended as the micro needed is beyond what most begginers and intermediates can pull off. If going tier 3 in mirror, TC as a third hero is an option, although not needed. Againdt Elf, it's either BM or FS first, with SH always second. I could explain the reasons for why these heroes in these matchups and why in this order, but this would take too long and begginer players wouldn't understand the rteasons anyway.
    If you are a semi-advanced player with an MMR of 1,800, you can make tiny adjustments to these by your choice. But radical changes ate not recommended unless you are a World-class player with an MMR of 2,500 or nigher. It takes lots and lots of experience, understanding of tactics on a deep level and supreme mastery of every skill of the game to innovate and pull it off. For even skilled, semi-advanced players that are at the top 1% of players trying to radically change builds, tactics and hero orders is catastrophic. Radical innovation is for true grandmasters, the elite of the elite. Unless you are Happy, Lyn, Moon or Infi, don't try to "make the game your own" because it is going to end very badly for you. WC3 is a supremely complx and intricate game and even fairly advanced players should stick to what they know, although advanced players can make some tweaks to the basics. But radical change? No, that is only for genuine grandmasters that know and understand WC3 better than a mother understands her child.
