I grew up with the first two games.
It's cool even if it is a complete rip off of everything else.

They didnt build any siege weaponry?
"as can humans be with a foot/rifler combo"
I always kicked butt with my foot soldier/dwarf groups, but then I moved to using undead.
I remember once in a game 3v3 game we got absolutely whooped. I was the undead and the last on my team against all three of theirs, and I had a LOT of towers and necromancers in my base.
They threw everything they had at me; I forget what map it was but my base entrance was basically a bottle neck. They got hammered, absolutely hammered, I couldn't believe it. Every time they lost a guy, he got back up as a skeleton and worked for me, and since I had at least a dozen towers near the entrance, all long the bottle neck, there were a lot of skeletons. And I had meatwagons in the back hurling corpses at them.
Of course, I didn't have any income coming in, so I couldn't build new units or even fully repair my towers. They had all the mines so built up another army and came back and crushed me. Blighters... still, it was a sight to behold, one guy holding out against three full armies.

Yeah, but then your opponent comes along dishing out the dispel magic and before you know it his hero has went up by 2 levels.

Human seriously dont have the best natural defence! :P
All races simply have their nautral defence such as, undead where simply their ground (blight) Heals ghouls a little faster then they would on normal ground and also, their towers are the best.
Undead have simply the best nautral defence :)

The humans have the best defence against early rush tactics, with the town hall thingy.
Night Elves are ok for quick rushes with the mass hunts, but undead are equally effective with fiends, as can humans be with a foot/rifler combo, as are orcs with mass grunt. I find it evens itself out pretty well.

I played KOTOR for the first time in a long time today. Somehow I managed to get killed by Sand People...
"?? Humans are probably the best race. They just require a little thought to master."
Dunno how much it's changed, but for rushing, the hippy night elves were always the first choice. Humans are pretty much stuffed if they get rushed extremely early, at least the undead have a chance.
Oh, and I use human or undead. Those siege weapons that hold the corpses (meat wagons are they? Haven't played for months) with dozens of necromancers = skeleton city.

I might be persuaded to play at some point. Currently playing through KOTOR at the moment though...

I'll play you, once I get this update thing sorted.
I've only got Warcraft3 by the way, not the expansion.
