Ok, so a friend of mine lends me his copy of the original Warcraft 3 ie no expansion. I\'m all pumped up to experence all positive gameplay experiences that I hear so much about. I get into the game, figure might wanna try out playing the computer before I get into the actual game. I see there\'s no easy/normal/hard(or I haven\'t found it yet) and just load up a random custom game.
Played it about 5 times...and can\'t last barely more than 10 minutes against the computer.

I get more guys out right away, build the hero hall, build the barracks, build a lumber yard, and generally do decently well lumber and gold wise...but I\'m just missing something. The computer always comes at me with his level 3 hero and I\'m barely level 2 at that time if at all. Takes me a decent amount of time to get out to kill some mobs for hero xp and usually when I do he\'s coming to get me with a superior force.
Wtf am I suppose to do to succeed and how the **** do I use the "hotkeys" or quickkeys? Thanks.
