Thumbs up for the civil discussion on strategy

[@ALeotar]

love how you help out guys playing against u, been a fan for a long time and will probably still be, watching your HU series gets me playing wc3 again ( was a orc men back than hahaha

[@schizoidman143]

@Grubby I have good rifle build I've been using for 10+ years, it's my favorite build and it's even better now when they made blacksmith 40 lumber instead of 60... When first night hits you'll have hero, 3 rifles completed, 4th rifle building, you can start +1 attack, you'll have arcane vault and an arcane tower. From here when 4th rifle completes you can start upgrading to keep or continue pumping rifles or expand. Sorry I am not good at explaining the build order, but I will try. I can give replays if you want. 5/12 First 5 peasants all on gold 6/12 First built peasant to gather lumber 7/12 Next peasant build farm 8/12 Next peasant build blacksmith 9/12 Next peasant build barracks (barracks will complete within seconds of bs complete so you can start rifle) 10/12 next peasant altar 11 12 and 13 peasants go to lumber Build a 2nd farm once first farm completes, then you'll build a third farm when that one completes Once barracks is done, start a rifle Once altar is done, build hero of choice All peasants that build the barracks, altar, and bs will queue to go gather lumber when they're done building When you have 3rd farm building and 2nd rifle training, start scout tower to later upgrade to arcane When 3rd farm is completed, have that peasant start building arcane vault Timing and resources will line up perfectly to start training 3rd rifle and it will complete at first night. Weakness to this build is that it takes a bit to get rolling and you are vulnerable because hero gets out a bit late, but it allows you to get those 4 rifles quickly and to be able to then expand or tech or continue to pump rifles. You're my favorite wc3 streamer and I know you're way better than me so you can overcome the weaknesses of the build or alter it as you see fit

[@schizoidman143]

Over the years I've tried many variations of this build order trying to min max it such as 4 peasants to gold 1 to lumber at start... but what I described I think is the best and fastest overall. One variation is if you want to do this and "fast"(ish) expand is to first 5 peasants to gold, then first two peasants you build go to lumber and then you proceed with the "baseline" build order as per usual but instead of having 13 peasants (total) you get 15 total (5 on gold, 10 on lumber) so you get more lumber pumping and still be able to afford to get 3 rifles then you pull just 3 militia to help clear mine and get them started on building the expo then you get shredder or more peasants on wood and pull 2 more peasants from your main to go help build the expo

[@arnoldcram8804]

Human is my favourite race, W3 is my favourite game and you are my favourite streamer. I am living a dream right now. Thanks a lot Grubby! ❤

[@panhouska]

Amen!!!

Very specific too :D

[@tas640]

Human is definitely my favourite to watch. There are so many fun and super effective strategies they can use.

[@ArfooHuroo]

OMFG whose version is this transcription!?!??!?! I LOOOVE the human theme and would love to play this

[@masonmartinez9579]

Best of luck grubby

[@1990erre]

That ending was not expected.

Pianos be out here touching Grubby

[@mjolnir9421]

great stuff yet again Frum Duh Grub! That Ogre impersonation made me LOL 😂 😆

[@asoim889]

Poggers challenge. It's always nice to have some themes. I love FFA, 4v4, 3v3 and all the weird challenges but I also like these race challenges

[@nickmuller4640]

damn that piano :O does anyone know the songname ? i cant remember

[@ЕвгенийВоробьев-т7с]

wait, I think it's just the Human theme :D Like the Aliance faction theme from wc3, but in piano

[@Moitao93]

Hey Grubby are you playing W3 reforged with classic graphics or its frozen throne? ive tried reforged but it feel weird differently than your videos i dont know, even with classic mode.

[@Khadgars123]

Love me some pally rifle play! @Grubby One build suggestion if I may. 1st peasant build alter, 2nd to wood, third build farm, 4th build blacksmith, 5th build barracks. Then creep first camp with militia and you should get first rifle out just as 1st camp finishes.

[@dororo32903]

Why is expanding the preferred counter vs. pala rifle?

[@ihatemylifenot4887]

Pala rifle takes a long time to get going. Notice how long Grubby has to wait to build the altar, and the first rifle comes out far later than footmen. This means that even if Grubby rushes over to the expo as soon as possible it's going to be pretty deep into being complete if the opponent fast expos

[@ninoalagic4557]

The typing at the end was wholesome😊

[@joelmagee1616]

Great presentation on this one!

[@austinpotter7679]

Haven’t played in years , is this reforge you’re playing but with classic graphics ? Or is it wc3 classic? Looking to start playing again . Is ladder play working? Thanks for the videos .

[@ottokarl5427]

It's Reforged with Classic Graphics. Ladder is mostly working, though the best players don't play on the official servers but on W3Champions

[@thelordofpie7157]

Love the vids Grubby, keep it up! You'll be #1!

Can we get a link to the piano cover please?

[@C4uSt1CO]

Guy didn't pick up the claws because he's not a part of the system. He look like a charity case to you?

[@legionofpie]

As a DRG player, I approve of solving problems with highly-armed dwarves.

[@Intelligenkeit]

what exactly is he doing now? he just playing for fun or is he still trying to get rank1, someone said he already got rank1 with orc so i dont know

[@karlriddell3396]

Rank 1, 2, 3, 4, with every race

[@ottokarl5427]

There is an overall Ranking and a race-ranking. He is No.1 overall (and with Orc ofc) so know he tries to get it with Human aswell

[@allendeleon4303]

why don't you do the repair delay enemy creeping trick in this video?

[@badtiming2208]

What song is that on the piano? It sounds familiar.

[@gdobrocsi]

Goo Grubby go! Don't stop till Rank1!

[@stewartgames6697]

I like this new challenge, it has been cool seeing all this high level play, but I missed Grubby's comment on his plans for LoL Z-to-A. Is he going to go back to it after he owns the WC3 ladder? Or decided to stick with DoTA 2 and give up on LoL? I was enjoying that series a lot, is why I ask...

[@nunya1337]

Would love to see a human starter guide, like what you did for orcs.

@10:40 master class

[@Amoeby]

It felt like Grubby turned safety off on a machine gun after Floduke asked how to beat pala rifle.

[@yeskabennis1159]

Can you play as orc vs a high level (close to yours) human player who's using this strategy?

[@Tuffkid42]

Grubby how’s your piano micro these days?

[@Kane_NOD]

10:37 That trade.

[@NoOne-xp9hm]

Whats the background music?

[@masonmartinez9579]

Can you show the rank at the end?

[@brandonparkinson3924]

was the piano stargate SG1 intro music?

[@jankasprik5981]

I wonder what is your job... Bcs your management in game Is awesome. Love your videos even though i don't play WC3.

[@diegorosa2292]

I've always wondered: Is there any reason why he kills almost every sheep or creature even thought his opponent is not human or it is so early in the game that it would not be possibile for the opponent to send one to his base? Like it happens at 1:37 ?

[@ottokarl5427]

It is a habit of his, but the reason would be to avoid getting blocked by critters at any time. There is also the added benefit to deny the sheep to UD who can use them for Rod of Necromancy

[@diegorosa2292]

@@ottokarl5427 Thank you!

[@iurydantas4787]

Also, it can be targeted. There is a game where he Chain lights a sheep by misclicking It.

[@a.f.7650]

With smithy now slightly cheaper there's more reasons to upgrade your units and benefit from it earlier than your opponent.

[@ZeroFate643]

That mercenary camp creeping was so greedy. Probably would have lost the expo, the claws, and 4 peasants against a better opponent.

[@noobstrodamus8881]

Going for the Human Championship Belt! He's in McGregor mode

[@thelordofpie7157]

I'm assuming he was trying to bait you into going for the claws so he couldn't have it then surround you?

[@Life_of_Matthew]

[@KeeperOTG]

could have sworn everyone referred to this as "Pally Rifle" but I wont put it past the grubster

[@borisfrlic]

IMO your most entertaining games are when you play human... BY FAR.
