<div class="IPBDescription">Hahaha.</div> In all my days of playing Warcraft 3, I have seen many idiots:
- One guy decided to mass headhunters. WITH NO UPGRADES.
- Another guy built NOT one, not two, but FOUR NECROPOLISES in his base. Why? Who knows.
- A teammate of mine decides to go dryads and bears. I'm fine with that. The problem? HE WAS AFK FOR 90% OF THE GAME.
- A guy masses footmen, and thinks he can beat me with his Level 1 Paladin with.. *snicker* devotion aura.
- Undead/Orc players that think, "Hmm, that human guy is getting casters, better NOT get dispel wands and let my abominations/frost wyrms/taurens get turned to sheep!"
Well, at least it's not as bad as a moron commander who massbuilds turrets.

If they were all upgraded to Black Citadels, then it would have been a very valid reason. Four Citadels in a base is just a sickeningly effective defense against most players. Just having four Necropolis' is silly (and needlessly expensive).

Hehe, a friend of mine who only plays Human in War3 basically plays that way - he'll put up at least 12 towers at the chokepoint of his base before ever leaving it. Of course by that time, I'm after clearing a sizable chunk of the map with my Dreadlord, Ghouls, and Fiends. By the time he actually finds some critters to kill, I'll be moving some Abomination/Necro reinforcements to my location. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Then he wonders why my score is usually three times higher than his in every game. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Lesson: Merely defending your starting ground will not win the game in most computer RTS games.

Turtling will get you owned so very very VERY hard in CnC:Generals. All this guy did was build missile placements allllll around his base. I kept sending Coporal Burton in at a blindspot and blew a lot of his crap up.
Anyway, hoo boy, I have some great tales of WC3. Usually the idiocy is me, though. A friend of mine, Pedric, and I used to use totally insane strategies all the time. We won a good portion of it too. One of the more memorable ones was on Stromguard. I went mass witch doctors and sealed my enemy in with Sentry Wards, and he got mortars and blew their bridges to bits. *cackles gleefully*
Ahh, memories.
*whimpers* I hope I get into the WC3x beta.
