Warcraft 3, The spirits of Ashenvale | Ultra Wide

I like this mission - a good replayability value in that one since there are many ways to beat it: - Digging in near the first gold mine and just defending while you slowly but surely gather wood. - Clearing the entire map for the enemy Trees 3000 wood bounty. - Doing a 50/50 approach with clearing some enemy base(s) and unlocking Shredders. Also you can make Grom really strong here - with lvl6 he unlocks his ultimate that can shred groups of enemies and structures, and he can buy 5-6 Rings of Regeneration here from Goblin shop to make him VERY durable. Well-used he can basically solo like half of the map with those 2 things. Also since he is an agility hero (meaning he gets more armor on average) he stacks with regen items extremely well, cause enemies do much less damage WHILE he also regenerates HP like crazy.

All though, I still didn't know the map really well, the first run thaught me where the mines are, which in turn allowed me to I guess macro up a bit, until I was ready to stomp the map. This map indeed adds a lot of replayability, because you can try different approaces. As you said, getting that insane amount of wood is crazy. All though I'm not sure I could manage to get 5 trees down with the hero. I feel you need to know every element in the map to properly make a strategy of taking them down.

@@kage-rts Making Grom very strong is also beneficial in another way - he progresses to the next mission.

47:45 Ah yes, let's destroy a 110/80 tower to free a 75/0 worker - economics major right there.

200 IQ move, if I ever seen one lol

26:50 Yeah.. that was DEFINITELY a mistake NOT to get Bladestorm - one of the best ultimate skills in the game.

I missclicked the hotkey, but I do get it eventually :D
