Warcraft 3 Reforged: Economy Guide The player who macros the best has an advantage in Warcraft 3 Reforged. Your economy is incredibly important. If your economy is bottlenecked by population or acquisition limits then you will be at a disadvantage.
The amount of Lumber that you require is almost all far less than the gold that you need. Most builds require far fewer workers on Lumber than on Gold. Watch your inventory and if it constantly growing you may want to pull a worker off of Lumber. Occasionally you will have an opportunity to purchase a Goblin Shredder. This unit can harvest Lumber far faster than workers freeing up population space for more combat units.
Setting a tree as the Rally Point will send workers directly to harvest lumber.
There is no reason to save up resources unless you are saving enough to get an upgrade or build an expensive unit. Spend your resources as you get them. A perfect economy brings in resources "just in time" to build whatever it is that you want to build next. Good build orders create this "Just in time" scenario.
