Default RE: Warcraft III Frozen Throne/ Reign of Chaos

SC is definitely more of a rush game than WC. Any C&C game is more rushing than either, though. The only real micro involved is knowing how to lead your units around so you can surround the enemy, or maybe having anti-air stuff in a separate control group so you can have them shoot down planes while your tanks handle ground stuff. There are heros now, but most of their coolness is that they are cloaked and you can sneak them in behind stuff and blow crap up. And in Generals, you don't even have to expand super fast like in other games because you can make your own money at your base. But WC....oh man I suck. I can't handle all that micro.

But I'm pretty decent at rushing. That's mainly just being fast and using keyboard commands and such to speed up. On money maps I can quickly get enough base defense to hold off early attacks, and then I will eventually get tons and tons of mutalisks. People never believe me when I say it, and they always tell me to upgrade to guardians, but a huge swarm of mutalisks is hilariously powerful.

Anywho, people still haven't answered me. Where can I find DotA (what's that stand for??) maps and Footman Frenzy? I think I have at least one DotA from where Torrie dragged me on to play. I dunno, though....I would like more. >__>

In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
And I write the blog for their website.

Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O
