Orc Standard Grunts Build Order

This build offers arguably the safest opening for an Orc player while still remaining flexible.  

Here is the build order:

  • Queue up a Peon. Keep building them. You will want at least 7 more. 
  • Send 4 Peons to the Gold Mine.
  • Drop an Altar with your other Peon.
  • Just before your Peon pops grab one from the Gold Mine and build a Burrow.
  • Ensure that you block off one side of your base with Altar and Burrow. 
  • The next Peon that pops will drop a Barracks.
  • When the Altar is complete, choose your Hero.  Blademaster is an excellent choice for beginners.
  • Use the Peon that built the Altar to scout. 
  • Build your 2nd Burrow when you can. 
  • When the Barracks is completed build a Grunt. 
  • Build a Voodoo Lounge.
  • When your 2nd Burrow is complete build another Grunt.
  • Your choices now are to build more Grunts or upgrade your Great Hall (Tech)
  • You have a fantastic, safe starting build, but you lack Tech or an expansion.  

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