Warcraft 3 Reforged: Human Footmen Rush (Cheese) Build

This build is 100% cheese certified.  It is an all or nothing gamble that often pays off.   If like short games (win or lose) or simply like to mix it up and be unpredictable then give this a try. 

Human Footmen Rush (Cheese) Build

Pros

  • Effective against players who do not scout. 
  • Games are short (if you like long games then pretend you didn't read this)
  • Easy to pull off
  • Strong against Night Elf opponents.

Cons:

  • Weak versus Human opponents and Undead. 
  • Opponents who scout will shut it down and have a large advantage. 
  • Many opponents have a rolling hatred for cheese (This is a Pro if you like to get people upset)

  • Train Peasant and continue until you have trained 8 Peasants.
  • 4 Peasants on Gold
  • 1 Peasant builds Altar
  • 1st Peasant drops a Farm framework and then builds a Barracks
  • 2nd Peasant to pop completes the Farm that is already dropped. 
  • 3rd Peasant drops the 2nd Farm.
  • 4th Peasant goes to Gold.
  • When your Altar finishes choose your Hero (Archmage preferred)
  • With your Archmage and 4 militia creep until your Hero is level 2
  • Rally the rest of the Peasants that you build to Wood.
  • When the Barracks finishes train a Footman.
  • As soon as possible build a 2nd Footman
  • Build 3rd Farm and your 3rd Footman
  • Train a 4th Footman
  • Build a 2nd Barracks (hide it on the map)
  • Train 5th Footman
  • Build 4th Farm.
  • Research Defend for your Footmen.
  • Build constant Footmen from this point out. 
  • Attack with Footmen, Hero and Militia.
  • Keep pumping out Footmen (watching your food supply, you may need more Farms)
  • Win!  or Lose. :(
  • Most of all.... Enjoy!
