Best strat for NE needed.

[D.F.I.]

I need a good build strat for NE, period. And what units to build. I'm planning (on maps with Taverns) to get Warden and Dark Ranger and A strength-type hero.....is that okay?

 

[GsVi-Miles]

3 heroes..thats a bit much isn't it
anyway i need a good ne strat as well

I got one...
Yeah, 3 heros is too much...try this (based on maps with a tavern)

-5 starting wisps
2 to gold
1 to alter
1 to moon well
1 to moon well

-Que one wisp (gold)
-Que another wisp (lumber)

When altar/2 wells are done, 2 wisp go to gold, 1 to lumber

-Que a warden
-Make a AoW when you get 60 lumber

Keep making wisps on lumber till you have a good amount

When you hit 100 lumber after Queing the AoW, make a hunters hall.

After queing the hall, once you hit 60 more lumber, make another AoW.

Mass achers at the beginning, then as soon as you have 1/1 upgrade, and 11 archers + Warden, upgrade your tree.
When its done, make 2 Ancient of Winds. Make enough hippos to match the amount of archers you should have (11). After that, go to the tavern, and get a Pit Lord. Make sure to get the damage reduce, then splash damage. DONT FORGET ABOUT THE HIPPO RIDER UPGRADE. After you have Warden +11 Hippo riders..and a pit lord, alternate making 2 archers, then 2 Hippos, until eventually you have 2 heros + 22 hippos, and should be somewhere around max food. Now your ready to attack...or creep if you havent already (you should be at least lvl 4, nearing lvl 5 by now).

This is my 2 cents, it works for me!!

Theres 2 strats I use for Night Elf and they both own . . . Here they are . . .

Hunts and Dryads

Archers, Fararie Dragons, Mountain Giants

The second strat works better...

At first just keep getting lots of archers and level up your hero
Then after youve got plenty of archers and heros aboutr level 4
upgrade your tree get faraire dragons about 3-5 then eventually get mountain giants its not that hard

pm to see a replay of either strat...

Im to lazy to post the build order and stuff :sleepy

 

[CommanderBean]

i havent tried ne of these but i feel from reading these that killer kat's strat will work the best!:wavey :unlucky

uh..... if 3 heros is too much for you guys then you seriously nede to work on your microing skills.

DDN, get your warden, get your dark ranger, and as for a strength based hero.....why not go with pit lord or beastmaster...

Pitlord is a massive ugly dude, that obviously is based on strength and damage-dealing over casting spells.

Beastmaster is a big ugly orc that casts spells to summon wild animals to deal more damage, or suck up damage, but if it dies to an enemy hero, they get exp. but beastmaster does a good amount of damage.


There's my best opinion on a strength based hero.

As for units, get 2 mountain giants,
your 3 heros(27 food w/o wisps)
4 dryad (39 food w/o wisps)
3 druid of the claw (49 food without wisps)
5 druid of the talon (59 food w/o wisps)
1 wisp in attack party (60 food w/o other wisps)
(use him against enemy spell casters***)
4 Faerie Dragon ( 68 food w/o wisps)

68 food+ wisps = 84 used food (6 on wood, 10 on mine for wisps)

upgrade as much as you can before you or your opponent dies, creep well, use great micro and you should win.
