A build order is a sequence where you need to farm, build, and create units for a certain playstyle in Warcraft 3, and for the human faction, there are a few options. In every case, you will start with resource gathering and then move to military units.
The differences lie in which units to train, when, and in what quantities. The Standard Build Order has a balanced approach, while the Rifleman Build Order prioritizes ranged options for the Warcraft 3 Human Faction.
1. Standard Build Order
This standard build will help you develop your Build Order at a decent pace while having a solid overall attack and defense.
To start this build order, train 5 peasants on gold and 8 on wood. After the training, they sent 4 peasants to the gold mine and ordered the fifth peasant to build the altar with the kings.
For the next step, order one peasant to build barracks towards the backside of the town hall, one to build a farm, and send the third one to the gold mine. When the next peasant leaves the town hall, order him to build another farm.
The peasant who was building the altar would go to scout the enemy’s location. All other peasants who finish their building jobs will go to wood. Send 2 peasants to barracks to train them as Footmen while the rest work on wood.
You will also need to get 2 Footmen, 8 peasants, and 1 Archmage. When wood is available, build another scout tower. You will now have 2 footmen, 6 peasants as militia, and 1 Archmage. Order Archmage to creep behind the militia and Footmen.
Now upgrade the first scout tower to Arcane tower. Train the Footmen to level them up. Order the peasants to build farms and work on wood when complete. Reach level 3 with Archmage and buy ‘Boots of Speed’ with him (cost 1900).
Keep training Footmen at Barracks. Keep 5 peasants working on gold, 8 on wood, and Archmage on Creep. When you have enough resources, upgrade tech to tier 2. Build Arcane Vault when you can. Also, keep building farms when you can. By doing all this, you will eventually reach Tier 2!
When you reach tier 2, you will be much more powerful. Build 2 Arcane Sanctums and train 2 priests and 2 Sorceress from them. Also, choose a 2nd hero of your choice. After all this, you can continue expanding and attacking as you wish.
2. Fast Rifleman Build Order
This human build order provides flexibility to apply early pressure on your opponent or to have a sustainable army mid-game. Since the Rifleman unit was buffed, this build order can be quite effective in many early-game scenarios with very few tactics that can counter it.
In this build, your tier 2 will be somewhat delayed but stronger in other areas. To build this order, put 3 peasants on gold mines and 2 to work on wood. Train the Gold Mine Peasants to 9 food. You must get 210 lumber from your wood peasants while your gold peasants fill from the gold mine.
When all three peasants are trained, start building the altar, farm, blacksmith, and barracks simultaneously. Once a peasant is done building, order him to build a second farm.
Order the next peasant to work on the gold mine while ordering the others to work on lumber. You will aim to get 5 peasants working on gold and 8 on wood. When the altar is finished building, train a Paladin. When the blacksmith and barracks are finished, start training Riflemen.
Riflemen will require 3 food, so you must keep building farms to keep up with the food requirement. When you have enough wood, build another farm, a tower, and a shop.
When your hero training is complete, you can attack a small orange camp for fast XP or let them work on lumber to get to tier 2 faster. You will aim to get your hero to level 3 while also getting tier 2. Upgrade your riflemen’s damage when you have enough resources.
Once you reach tier 2, upgrade the scout tower to an arcane tower, train the blood mage, and 2 arcane sanctums. Now, you can continue as you wish.
3. Shop Tech Build Order
This Warcraft 3 Reforged Build Order is primarily used against orcs to gain an early tech advantage. To build this Order, send some peasants to the gold mine while ordering one to build an altar. Then, order a peasant working in the mine to start building a farm.
Then, all free peasants started working on the lumber. Order one of the peasants to build a shop and arcane vault. Once your hero is ready, keep pumping out peasants and build some farms.
Then, creep into a small camp to obtain fast XP. Keep 9 peasants working on lumber. While waiting for tech to be tier 2, make some more farms. Level up your hero to level 2 by creeping and harassing.
Waste time while your camp is upgrading. Once you reach tier 2, build three sanctums by assigning 3 peasants to each to speed up the process. After this, you can continue as you please.
4. Fast Altar Build Order
This Human build order pushes out your hero quicker to minimize harassment. It is useful in twisted meadows.
To start this Warcraft 3 Reforged Humans Build Order, put 2 peasants on mine while 2 work on building the altar and 1 works on building the farm. After the altar is complete, assign the peasants to lumber.
Order farm peasant to work on mine after it completes farm. Order one of the peasants working on mine to build the barracks—queue up the hero when the altar is completed. Order the next peasant to build our 2nd farm. Assign another peasant to the barracks to help it speed build.
When you have enough resources, build a 3rd farm. When your hero arrives, take 7 peasants and militia creep. Take 2 peasants from the mine and train them in barracks for footmen. During the creep, you will lose some peasants, so replace them from the camp.
After the creep, order 2 to work on gold mine and 2 to train for footmen. After that, you can continue as you please.
