Human Shop Tech Build Order

The one-base build order offers Warcraft 3 Reforged players a safe, tech and item focused build. 

Here is the build order:

• Queue up a Peasant (keep building them as you go, you will need to build 9 of them.)
• 4 Peasants go to the Gole Mine
• The 5th Peasant drops an Altar
• The 1st Peasant to pop will build a farm.
• The next Peasant that pops will go to the Gold Mine.
• Send all of the rest of your Peasants to Lumber.  You can rally them to a tree to make this easy. 
• When the Farm completes take that Peasant and build your Shop.
• When the Altar is complete, use that Peasant to build a Farm. 
• Queue up your Hero at the Altar.  Archmage is a good choice for beginners. 
• When your Hero pops, you will "Milita Creep" a camp.  
  • Bring 5 Peasants close to your Town Hall and Click the "Bell" Icon.  They will now still have low hitpoints, but will hit much harder.  Send them off with your Hero.   
  • If you chose the Archmage ensure that your Water Elemental does most of the tanking.  You don't want to lose Peasants. 
• Once you have enough wood to upgrade your Town Hall do so immediately. 
• At this point ensure that you are building enough farms to stay ahead of your population cap. 
• Creep with your Hero to attain Level 2.
• Harass the enemy with your Hero, poking at them to buy time to Tech up. 
• Play safe.  Your goal is to keep them worried about your harass and not attacking your weakly defended base. 
• Once your Town Hall upgrade (Tech) is complete queue up a 2nd Hero. 
• Build 3 Sanctums. 
  • You should have 3 Peasants building each Sanctum to speed up the build. 
• You have a fantastic, safe starting build with a shop giving you an advantage over most opponents. 

That's it!  Practice, practice, practice, until this build becomes second nature to you.
