As thread name says,but thread is ONLY for melee maps:

1.Which race is your favourite and why?
2.Who's your favourite hero,is he/she from you favourite race or not and why?
3.Favourite unit and,again,why :) ?

This is my thinking:

1.Undead.
Because it realy looks evil and because it's race (in campaigns) for there own.Else,has a exelent heroes.
2.It's not from undead race but it's cool,Tauren Chieftain.
Very strong hero with exelent look and extra strenght.His abilities are f***ing good,every ability he can learn,I realy like Shockwave because can attack buildings.
3.Again from Orc race,usual Tauren.
I realy like that 'ring' or however in his nose.Offcouse,he's very strong and Pulverize moving him up.And his look is fancy :cool:

1.Undead.if there would be undead in the real world,the living would'nt be alive.Reason:powerfull heros:D and cheap,fast building units.
2.CRYPT LORD:He's only trying to be the best hero he can be in warcraft:confused: .IMPALING units,sweeet.:cool:
3.The best unit for me is the Spell Breaker.:D
I think that The Spell breaker is the coolest unit in all Warcraft.Looking fancy on the posters pall.:shiftyl:

1. Orcs
I love how good the Grunts are as meat shields during creeping (much better than footies, archers and ghouls)
2. Dark Ranger
I got into the habit of getting a tavern hero vs one of my friends, and I love Charming all his powerful units
3. Grunts
see reason above in number 1

1.Which race is your favourite and why?
2.Who's your favourite hero,is he/she from you favourite race or not and why?
3.Favourite unit and,again,why ?

1.The Orcish Horde. Warcraft is one of the first gaming companies that depicted that the Orcish Horde is much more then blood thirsty demons. And i like that. The pursuit of Happyiness by Warchief Thrall.
Hyrdalisk cuz dey r XTREM KRAZIE
2. One of my favorite heros is the Night Elf Warden. I just love her Blink abliity, and the expansion night elf missions allow you to play around with it. Of course in Melee games, it probbaly wouldnt be as smart to invest so heavily in blink. The second favorite hero of mine would probbaly be the Mountain King mainly because he is such a beast. And he looks like a beast also. My third favorite hero would either be the Crypt lord or Far Seer. I just love a big brute that has brains.
I t'dink bunnies r thy best cuz they r XTREM KRAZIE!
3. My favorite unit would probbaly be the Steam Engine or a Grunt. The Steam Tank is a massive death dealing form of destruction that has fortified armor. Although most seige units are helpless against Air units, this is a exception. I choose the Grunt, because they are probbaly one of the most beastly melee units you can have in Tier 1.
'rines are de best cuz de r XTREM KRAZIE!

1) Night Elf. They're really strong and easy to use. And you have moon wells, bears, dryads, and the Demon Hunter.

2) Warden: Not an overly "safe" hero, but really, really fun to use. Especially if she reaches high levels. :)

3) Favourite unit? Probably frosties. I don't use them very often, but they look cool.

Human, because I can relate to being human. Also, I picked them because they play so differently from the other races. I like that strangeness about them.

My favorite hero is the archmage. This was my brothers favorite hero, but I beat him at warcraft 3 roc when I was VERY young. This is the first time I EVER beat my brother at anything. Strange enough, he used the archmage and I used the demon hunter. However, there is a feeling of transending his shadow because I know I use his favorite hero better than he ever did. When ever I play a match, and he pops out of that alter, I look at him, and think to myself "let's try to pull this one out of our asses eh?". I have used him so much I feel like he defines my play style and everything that I put into the game.

My favorite unit, that's tough. I have made a point of not prefering any one unit over another. Which is another reason I like human. However, I find that the priest makes my army much stronger. So I love them, I find them an asset.

Wasn't ROC released 2002? If you were "VERY young" then, you must still be young. :P

There's a certain irony about these two sentences. ;)

I had a pre released version of roc(by about a couple of months). I thought it was released sooner than that... interesting. Something to think about, thought it was released in the 90's. I was really young as in I remember being a child. I am still young (18) but not a child. Hmm... I am really interested in the asociation.

Also, the race I HATE the most now adays is night elf. I also hate the demon hunter with a burning passion. I still have respect for his sheer badassness. The units in night elf arn't that fun though. Besides it's all about the level 10 demon hunter wiping half of my brothers mass rifles! That was also the first game I ever saw a level 10 hero(we played 1v1v1's or 1v1 that's it). It's also the first time I saw the demon form, that was awesome. I didn't get to see it because my brother and his friend would always get rid of me first in the FFA's. What a site though, 1 giant bad ass demon walks into a human army. true story, nuff said.

1. I like to vary, although I probably use human more than the other 3.

2. Blood Mage right now, Flame Strike and Siphon Mana combo is awesome. Great against creeps as well if you take a couple of mana potions.

3. Not too sure, but rifleman are pretty handy, average hits, damage, armour etc. Good as anti-air as well.

NE's are realy stupid race.Yes,they have exelent heroes DH,KotG and Warden together with lvls 10 can defeat ONE human army (100 food) without heroes.If you won't believe,try it ;)

But steel,they sucks!

i am mainly orc, who works with the seer. I do pretty much all units xept for tauren, and i save shamans till i get close to having a fortress so i can get bloodlust.

A problem with wc is that it asks too much for you to have a specific ratio of all units. At least it does online. there is some more flexibility on the campaigns

Um... 10-10-10 of any race could defeat most 100 food armies which didn't have heroes, provided you microed your heroes well.

1. Human. I like versatility and variety, and you can pretty much count on Blizzard to give Human that tweak of uberness against other races in almost every game they make (can we all say it together? Mass Towers. Buhhh).

2. Mountain King. I like the fact he's the smallest (size-wise) hero in the game packing the highest dps spell, storm bolt... not to mention the fact it comes with stun... then at level 6 he becomes the second largest hero in size in the game when he goes Avatar. Add to that the fact he always looks like he's carrying a beer with him everywhere he goes. We all know it's a hammer, but it looks like a mug of beer.

3. Chimera. A two-headed, flying dragon with corrosive, projectile vomit. Thank you, Blizzard.

1. Orc - big, strong, easy to micro units (aside from Wolves) with cheesy spells like Ensnare, wonderful siege and a high level AoE nuke to die for.

2. Shadow Hunter - aside from the Panda, which doesn't have much synergy with Orc, this is my favourite hero. All 3 spells are great - Wards provide a huge bonus to DPS, Hex can disable a 7 food unit for 45 seconds at Level 3, (and a Huntress for 15 seconds earlier on), and Healing Wave is like a free heal scroll for 90 mana at Level 2.

3. Raider - a 12 second Ensnare with a 12 second cooldown? Thanks.

UnDeAdz- much strong forces, zombies reanimate self, me win.
Night stalker - he become much power at night and kill y other hero w/o much trouble.
NeCrOmancer- arguably most imbalance thing in game. me think he much overpowered. unholy frenzy just to good, make unit attack bunch.

My favorite race is Human. They possess the ability to force the game into a macro / strategic contest, which other races struggle to match. Their Farm also gives them the unique ability to add a dimension of sophistication with base layouts.

My favorite hero is probably the Warden. Using Blink and SS, you can pretty much guarantee yourself unit kills during any point of the game. Running isn't an option and neither is trying to TP your way out of it. The fact that she can Shadowmeld has given me somehella good creepjacks, just by anticipating people's creeping patterns. She's not the best hero, but she's the most fun.

My favorite unit would be the Spellbreaker, he's such an incredibly versatile unit. Unfortunately, his stats are piss poor for melee combat.

My least favorite unit would be a tossup between the Bear and the Dryad, who have borderline-retarded unit versatility along with centralized production. It's pretty idiotic to have a bunch of units that can beat literally every unit combination in the game.
