Classic Footmen Frenzy Wars, Strategies, tactics, heroes...

Well, I thought it'd b fun to start something about the classic game on wc3 of Footmen Frenzy (latest version being 3.61). Feel free to post your strategies and tactics here... all you do, how you win, why u suck, your oppinions about the game etc.

Personally, my strategy depends on who I am playing, and what they do. Normally I rely on Heroes that have distance attacks that summon units, or have effective AOE spells. (usually i use the Edge or the Keeper of the Grove). When using either of these two heroes, all i do is power them up with about 2 vitality thingies for health. I get the KotG cuz of his ents, which at max level, 20 are summoned and they are very effective when gaining gold.

After that, i get riflemen and upgrade them from there. I feel Riflemen are more supperior to other units because of their long distance attacks, their already-upgraded attack damage, their range, and how fast you can get their attack speed. I do not procede to get knights or anything.

My favorite strategy is using the Jaood (stealth:"adj"; latin; Deadly assassin of great power) When i have him, i focus on him and him only, upgrading his health and attack damage so that he can become invisible and strike an enemy hero to kill within a few hits and no possible hope of escape. By far, I think the Jaood is the most powerfull and usefull hero when it comes to getting gold and killing heroes for experience. (i just took on 3 ppl's army of grunts and ghouls last night (about 13 each) and killed them all with the Jaood no help needed. (instant level 14))

That was a game to remember, when you are the power-player that owns the map (i had to save the replay)

I see how it is stealth, twisting my arm to post ><

Anyways, i like to play blindfolded with the monitor off...jk

I technically go random, but when it gets down to it, i go Beastmaster due to the strength of the summons. I mean, you gain more money with him than alot of other heros. Teching is also fun, but im not stupid and go after heros...i go after the real money and take out all the units. Its pointless to go after heros, were talking 200 vs wiping out all the footman in the middle which would bring you about 600-1000 gold. To me, the ultimate hero is a cattlebruiser. max hero kills with him has been 25, the only problem he has is he cant do crap against units. Therefore, the next best is warden, which can beat jaood any day =). By the way, its very simple to beat jaoods illusions with avatar, you just eat them, dealing 800 damage each time. Jaood goes bye bye.

lol. Sum noob moron played me yesterday... he put his Edge against my Jaood... rofl Instant 200 sum gold and like level 2.5

not if i kill u first >.<

BTW: the jaood has Avatar/Vengence as well.... i can own u with mine, too you know...

And yeah, I never use Mirror Image anywayz... i just mass Bloodlust and ww/backstab ppl

Anyone know when they are coming out with the next version? When 3.61 came out, they said the next would be out "even if it takes 3 months to complete..." After later versions where lag and a few bugs have been fixed, whens the next major break happenin'?

Ýf u play only with Jaood and don't spend money on ur troops u r dead.
Jaood CAN'T DO ANYTHÝNG against AVALANCHE !!!!
U can't kill him with ur crappy Footmens or with Jaood.
The only way for u will be catapults but a good player with avalanche will blink on the catapults and always stay on the minimum range and destroy it in 3 hits.
Jaood is 1 of the best hero of the game but he can't do anything against Avalanche.
There is another simple way to counter a good jaood : ROD OF ENVY

Avalanche is nothing but a lame hero
