I need human Warcraft 3 opponents. The computer keeps schooling me, but I keep trying.

Was feeling crappy earlier today - I blame the weather, since it just takes a change in sunlight or air pressure to trigger a slowdown in my body - but feeling good tonight. Had some great lo mein for dinnerr, got most of our paperbacks packed up, and decided to take my fight to the computer in WC3. Lost horribly, but looking back, I was not at the top of my game. Wasn't scouting or creeping enough, wasn't constantly building or teching, poor use of hotkeys. Did repel one early attack, though, which was good. Slowly improving. Need a human opponent, preferably one who isn't so experienced as to utterly thrash me.

But then, isn't that the story of my gaming life? ^_^

Oh yes. Forgot farms. They are cheap. Keep a peon running on straight farm production until you are around 70 food, and then you don't need to worry about it. Not building enough food generators is a choke, and chokes are death.

Thanks for the tips! I have noticed that choking effect from time to time. Sometimes I remember to build enough food generators, sometimes I don't. Therein lies my biggest weakness - I'm always forgetting to do one thing because I get too focused on something else. I'll focus on building or teching, and not on creeping, or vice versa. Scouting invariably gets forgotten.

Really, I just need to play (a lot) more, watch (a lot) more replays, and find a consistent style that works for me (once the extra playing and watching are done).
