this is my basic starting build: (depending on how well you handle the mouse and hotkeys you might encounter lapses of time with nothing to do. at the speed i do this, most of my time is consumed)build an altar with idle wisp (then shift + right click gold mine)mine
gold with 3 other idle wispsbuild moonwell with last idle wisp(within 10 seconds of building altar so that they can finish at the same time) (then shift + right click gold mine)train 3 wisps at tree of life (set waypoint at a group of trees that is near your base
but that cannot be spotted easily to prevent hero harasses from kill your wisps)build a ancient of war (with the wood-harvesting wisp that just added +5 wood) (when resources allow) (ctrl + 5 the building to train units easier)train 1 more wisp (when resources allow)as soon as altar
is complete, train the demon hunterbuild a moon well with a wood-harvesting wisp (when resources allow)train 2 more wisp (when resources allow)as soon the ancient of war is complete, train 2 archers (when resources allow) (set waypoint to the demon hunter when he is done)at about 2 minutes into the game:11 wisps (5 gold-mining / 6 wood-harvesting)(20 food)team 1 (ctrl +1)1 demon hunter (level 1) (5 food)2 archers (4 food)the rest has too many variables so ill choose not to describe the rest of the process.the ideal army:18 wisps (10 gold-mining / 8 wood-harvesting) (18 food)team 1 (ctrl + 1)1
demon hunter (level 6) (1-2 wands of negation) (5 food)2 huntresses (fully upgraded) (6 food)team 2 (ctrl + 2)1 priestess of the moon (level 1) (1-2 scrolls of protection) (5 food) 10 archers (fully upgraded) (20 food)team 3 & 4 (ctrl + 3/ctrl + 4)8/18 druids of the talon (fully upgraded) (16 food) (if you are willing to have high upkeep you should train 18 druids of the talon (36 food))mass wyverns:transform druids of the talon to storm crow formuse scroll of protectiontransform demon hunter to demon formfocus fire on wyverns, witch doctors, and shamansuse wand of negation on units with bloodlust or healing wardsmass necromancers:cyclone all melee unitsuse scroll of protectiontransform demon hunter to demon formfocus fire on necromancersuse wand of negation on skeleton warriorsmass sorceresses and priests:cyclone all melee unitsuse scroll of protectiontransform demon hunter to demon formfocus fire on mortar teams, healers, and sorceressesuse wand of
negation on units with inner fire or polymorphsome notes for new players: never quick-tech unless you are experienced and have teammates build your altar and train your hero as soon as possible in all games learn how to use hotkeys and control your units. set your casters in a seperate
team so you can use the hotkey for their spells remember not to horde your resources (unless you have nothing to spend it on), keep about 500 gold maximum in stock (for expansions) i cant figure out a way to counter dryads, if you know please post. thank you.
