First 5 seconds

[Merlyn]

I'm a NE player, and having started playing Orc, I don't know what to do in the first 5 seconds. When you enter the game, what's the first thing you do. Usually, I build my Alter, move the 4 peons to gold, them click for more peons. Which brings my second issue. At what time do you build the burrow. I've been taking a guy of gold to try to time it so the Alter and Burrow finish at the same time, but do yall have any shortcuts besides guessing?

[CousCous]

1. move all peons to gold mine
2. take one peon to build alter
3.make some peons at main hall
4.two sec before the new peon comes build a burrow(new peon goes to the gold mine)
5.the next peon goes to gold mone too
6.with the 7th peon make a barack

[StrykerD]

I just do straight 4 peons on gold, one on alter, after you've gathered like 70 gold or something take one peon off and build burrow, while making a new peon and rally him to gold, then rally others to lumber..


the alter peon goes to gold and the burrow goes to lumber.

thats what i do x.x

[porps]

pretty much the same as cous cous,all peons to gold, que 2 peons to mine, and take the first peon returning with gold to make alter. just before the first peon appears from your townhall take a peon off gold and build burrow. que another peon. 7th peon makes rax

Ifind it easier to first make 2 peons from your hall then send 4 to mine and 1 to altar...first one out can build and finish a burrow right when the altar is done.

i go

4 to mine 1 to alter
3/4 through 1st trained peon grab a peon and make burrow
then get 5 on gold then get 7 on wood
when u get 140 wood get a lumber mill
when u get 190 wood tek

thats mine.

lol i just realized this is in the wrong forum...my bad...

anyway...I just got keycraft...makes it SO much easier

click,q, q, click for alter, qw for burrow, qe for rax

[IJJusion]

q,q?
q,w?
q,e?

umm if there was an alt there then ok..a joke but wtf does this mean

EDIT:

oic k nvm

he said he uses keycraft. You can change the hotkeys and then they also have like the most convienient set up.

[kadster]

keycraft is confusing once you've gotten use to the default hotkeys of blizzard. Anyway, it doesn't work for me.

meneither... the ONLY time i could immagine using it, is instead of the dreadded HOLD shift while pressing 'B' then 'O' to build the burrow... sometimes i press B and then P and nothing happens... I HATE THAT...

OR the most annoying thing to me is when you select a peaon tell him to build a burrow and then shift slick on trees... and you THINK that hes doing it cause there were no 'i cant build there' coments and you find out a bout a minute later when your burrow should be done that he didnt even START to build it, because you let go of shift just before you right clicked and instead of building a burrow peon went to chop wood... I know its MY FAULT but it still makes me mad... lol

put all peon in gold, take 1 peon to build altar , make 2 peon in hall, grab 1 again to build burrow, make the 7th peon to lumber , make the 8th peon to build a barrack and say " GG DUDE !!" xD
