-
Get a flyer as soon as possible to find all your enemies and know the Entire
map. A missed gold mine might cost you the game.
-
Peasents/Peons are the key in Multiplayer games. If you want to be
good, have a lot of them.
-
The best defense is a good offense
-
Remember that the computer is stupid. You can Death and Decay them
from across trees and they won't do a thing about it
-
Look into the future. Where will you get gold after this mine???
-
In multiplayer games staying back and building up can be a good strategy,
although most think it is cheap
-
You can see trees being chopped away even when they are under the fog of
war.

-
Use farms instead of walls to block in or protect your town.
-
Always make sure you have a way to get a peon out if you wall yourself in. Your gold will eventually run out.
-
Always keep the pressure on your enemy. If you slack off he will always plan a great attack.

Don't be distracted watching the battle. Watching the battle is neat, but is not necessary to win the game. It is better to build more troops or defense than to watch.

Wall in a tower from the start, it always helps.

Never stop training peons
-
Never give up even if you know you are dead and if you know your opponent is dead. I've made that mistake one too many times and I've only done it once and it cost me the game.
-
Keeping your opponent on defense is the best way to win. If they're constantly defending your attacks they have no time to expand, explore, or attack you.
-
Always remember that any defense is penetrable if you know how to do it & have the resources to do it. Use your death knight & mage's ability to cast death & decay & blizzard on those annoying towers that you can't seem to get past and you'll bust right through!

Don't Rush
-
If you know your opponent is not gonna rush then you expand and get lust as soon as possible!!

IN GOW a good strategy sometimes is to take either your second or third peasant and build a new town hall at a position that isn't a start position on the map: very few people think to look in those positions when scouting for bases early in the game. By the time they think of it often times you can have it already mined out and be well ahead of the competition in the gold department. Translation: you win

Use packs of dragons & gryphons against the CPU. It's stupid and won't even attack them with mages or DK's. Don't go over six, because they will gather around a building and fry themselves. Don't use them against human players because they are smart enough (usually) to cast Polymorph or Death Coil.

Using the orc spells bloodlust runes and D+D set up a huge trap... have your ogres defend an entrance place rune in front of the orgs about a farms distance away four to five patches of them is good. Using a deathknight cast death and decay just behind the units that will be attaching to force them into your rune trap.. then bloodlust your ogres and clean house. I took out an army of about 40 knights with 9 ogres and two death knights... This system works really well against newbie and in tight terrain like GOW

On a sea map build at least one catapult or ballista as soon as possible. They can attack subs without the help of towers + flyers (by attacking the ground you see the missles coming from). Also build archers + axe throwers to protect from the air.

Use humans to set an awesome trap!!!!! Invisible one mage and send him to your enemy base and blizzard all his/her peons. No gold, no units, no victory.
-
Invisible blizzard also works good if an enemy builds farms in bunches.

When building barracks, town hall, ect. send+ peasent to build it, then have your other peasents repair it. It will cost more, but it will get built MUCH faster.
