I figure we should start a thread about the strategies for the Beta. You master testers out there can post about what is new and what is gone. Any new build orders that you like? Post em.

Anything else about the beta....post it.

just so you realixe this, with each update every strat you have been peeling skin off to learn disappears, so pointless really, though starts do seem to work, even my orc start that I used in war3 classic still works, with slight timing differences. My god 180 gold for brax, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Ive been plaing beta alot but my record really sucks, so i need a better strategy. the one that ive won with most of the time is shamans and wyverns, but when i get rushed i am totally skrewed. Lets play sometime cause i am pretty flexible with how i play, so i can conform to help your guys strats. oh yeah and what are your peoples beta names, cause i never see anyone online. yar! pirate

I have found that going Hunts, dryads, and Giants works quite well. I get the hunts in the beginning and a little more of them later, then as i go along I get the dryads and for 3rd tier I get giants for the front line. Then the dryads are anti-caster and hunts get the other stuff. Oh and my beta name is: Christoph

It appears i am reviving the beta strategy thread, so here goes:

I have found that when one person is an orc player and another is any oher race, if the orc player only develops one side of the tech tree (i.e. Melee units) and get shamans and one other type of caster, the other player develops the other side of the tech tree (i.e. ranged) and when they attack together they can dominate almost every time. i have never lost with this strategy (i was the orc player) unless i was rushed by a massive amount of archers and/or footmen. mad Curse the bloody people who mass the low tech and kick my ass!!

orc best with melee. Period. Just get about 10 grunts, or 8/9, then tech p to taruens with spirit walkers. works perfectly. ocus on healing casters and grunts, while you walkers revive dead tauren. 4-6 spirit walkers does the job fine.

sphynx with stats are good, but a general mix is best for ud

have the stat set on mana, then also use the sphynx to get mana from it and you can keep using orb of anihillation or whatever its called.

have acolytes repair the stats in battle, because even if they get attacked, the stat can still heal the acolyte.

multiple statues on heal is similar to multiple healing wards in classic

edit: if things get messy you can get that acoylyte to do some heavy duty slapping smile
