I have been playing War Craft 3 The Frozen Throne a lot recently. I have completed the campaigns and I am now playing custom games on medium level. I have found the ultimate strategy that helps me win these games and I am going to share it here. The gold mines that are guarded not by your opponent, but by original monsters are marked by brown spots on the map. If you save your game and reload freshly saved game, you will notice that some of those brown spots in the places of the map that you haven’t uncovered yet have disappeared. This is where your opponent is. When an enemy has more than one location I start sending one warrior to each of it’s locations constantly. I find the flying units more convenient. At the same time I build my own additional goldmines at the map’s end opposite an enemy, I strive to have 2-3 running goldmines. Warriors that bug an opponent keep its army busy and away from my goldmines. Eventually, even those tiny single warriors wear out an enemy. By the time computer’s army gets from one location to the other, one unit can easily destroy few buildings or kill all enemy’s miners. If you destroyed the mine, keep one or two units there to prevent enemy’s workers from building new one. Save and reload the game once in a while to spot where else they are attempting to build new mines. This strategy quickly cuts your enemy from resources and it starts falling behind you in development. There is no use doing it when an enemy has only one town. Computer starts with a big army, which will meet you half way, kick your arse, and come to bash your town. Speaking of half way: if all of enemy’s towns are on the same trajectory, you might need to take the warrior farther to the side of the map and then to where you want it. It would then make a circle around opponent’s army. Obviously you need to do this all very quickly.
