well, to start with; i've actually played the game, only custom games and campaign (-.-)

i think i wanna start with orcs, for their high life and high amount of cool.

anyway, how do i actually start? what are good strategies vs who and most important of all; where can i find good wc3 replays?

1) learn build orders, for orc its sth like peon peon altar burrow etc
2) practise these build order v.s. computer first and get used to it
3) practise your micro and hotkeys
4) learn the maps
5) learn combos, and the build order for these combos, e.g. mass raiders, mass air, tauren+spiritwalk etc
6) learn other races' combo and how to counter them, e.g. you need spiritwalker for dott and kodo beast for bears

5) learn combos, and the build order for these combos, e.g. mass raiders, mass air, tauren+spiritwalk etc
6) learn other races' combo and how to counter them, e.g. you need spiritwalker for dott and kodo beast for bears

thx alrdy for these 2, but i wanna know what the etc are

1. build a blademaster
2. make sure enemy isn't orc and doesnt have blademaster
3. send him in, dealing over 9000 damage to all enemy units
