Rejoice with glee, for I have finally gotten off my arse to update the How To Basic guide for Human! I hope you will enjoy the read and hopefully learn a thing or two as we take a look at the very basics of playing Human.

Human units for the most part are fragile and without much brute force, but they take advantage of carefully developed technology and magic, to bring foes to their knees. 

A core idea of a lot of games is to have cheap units that are easy to access. In exchange, they also scale poorly later into the game. Warcraft 3 is no different. That does, however, also raise an important question: how hard do you commit to these units?

In this article we will have a look at Footmen and try to understand what determines how many you should be getting in the different matchups.

Here's the How To Basic guide for the final race, Orc. So if you want to learn how to channel your inner brute and crush your opponent with raw, untamed power, make sure to read this article!

I’ve finally pulled myself together to write my second guide for newcomers! This time covering the basics of the Night Elf race! I won’t be going in depth with the specific strategies of the race. I will, however, break up the race and take a look at its units, heroes, pros and cons as well as the basic ideas you won’t to have in each match-up.

It's time for another How To Basic compendium! This time featuring the Undead. In this guide I will go over all the unit and hero choices and try to give you an idea of the overall gameplay and strategy of the race in all matchups. 

So get ready for a wall of text as we scratch the surface of this race consisting of walking corpses, disembodied spirits, damned mortal men and insidious extra-dimensional entities!

Nearly all the heroes in the game are designed in such a way that they, looking aside from their ultimates, have two mana intensive spells and one spell that does not require a lot mana; or non at all. Sustaining two of the mana intensive spells can be tough (though not unheard of), so how do you go about choosing between the two?

The various patches of 1.30 have brought about a number of changes. For Orc, one of the most prominent changes is that the Farseer has become a more common choice. However, new players still wonder, which hero to pick first… Farseer or Blademaster?

Today we’ll take a look at what prompts Orc players to choose one or the other.

In this article, I'll be covering the 'Power Curve' as a topic. It's easily one of the most important concepts in Warcraft 3, and in pretty much any other game/sport. Chances are that you'll be thinking what I'm writing is obvious; because to a certain extend it definitely is. Where it gets tricky is when you'll have to apply it in a game.

PLEASE NOTE: This article was written before Reforged. How replays are stored and loaded has changed with the 1.32 Reforged release, this article does not apply to those game versions, however it will still work for old versions of the game if you wish to watch old patch replays.

Warcraft III replays are a beautiful thing. Entertainment, teaching, and record keeping all for a few hundred kilobytes. However they can be awkward to get at - you have to save the replay, put it into a folder (which they moved a few patches ago to deal with modern Windows permissions!), boot up Warcraft, select Singleplayer, View Replay, find the file, open it.

How tedious, if only you could double click the replay and it would open instantly... 

... Wait, you CAN do that?!

Sure, just follow this quick guide below for Windows machines:

Paladin is a powerful hero with a toolkit centered around supporting your entire army by making it more durable.

In this article, we'll be taking a look at his strengths, weaknesses and some common misconceptions I've seen about the hero.
