In Warcraft, one of the best strategies for humans are mass caster. Combined with blizzard, stormbolt and thunder clap it can annihilate virtually all opposition.
Against ghoul, I
sort of like storm bolt though. Storm bolt kills the enemy one at a time.
Combined with bash, you can keep a metamorph demon hunter dizzy for the whole
battle.
However, this
strategy has one weakness. What about if enemies use a lot of air unit?
Mountain king is my
last hero. Meanwhile, I sacrifice a peasant or two to check out what enemies
are building. If enemies are building a lot of air units, it's time to beef up
the troops with flying machine.
Combination of
flying machines, which is an anti-air counter, with mass casters are overwhelming.
The sorcerers can
slow or even polymorph many expensive units while your flying machines attack
the annoying hippogryph raider.
Can this be
countered? One guy beat me up with a lot of hippogryph riders and chimera.
That's the only way known to beat it.
I can combine this
strategy with double expansion strategy. However, I find it more useful not to
build expansion.
So, quickly build
altar, farm, and make peasants until your food is 18. Build lumber mill and
tower.
Then upgrade your
town hall. Harass enemies if necessary. You can use water elemental or
blizzard.
If there is a
fountain of manna you can use both blizzard and water elemental.
Then build priests,
sorcerers, and paladin. Quickly upgrade your town hall to castle.
Scout with your
peasants. Check out their enemies. If it's ground unit, keep pumping out
casters. If it's flying, then quickly build blacksmith and 2-3 workshops.
