Warcraft 3 is a classic real-time strategy game in which the Terrans are one of the most suitable races to use TR (tower attack) tactics. The core idea of TR tactics is to use the Terran's peasant group ringing and bell ringing skills to quickly build arrow towers at the door of the opponent's house in the early game to block the opponent's development, so as to achieve the goal of quick victory. The advantage of TR tactics is that they can achieve a huge advantage in a short period of time, and the disadvantage is that if they fail, it is difficult to have a chance to transform.
So, if a Terran player has an equipment advantage in the early stage, such as getting a powerful treasure, should he choose TR or open a mine? There is no one definitive answer to this question, as different game situations, different maps, and different opponents can affect this decision. However, we can analyze this problem from the following aspects:
Rival races and heroes. Different races and heroes have different resistance to TR. Generally speaking, the Orcs and Night Elves are the most vulnerable races due to their weak early defenses and the fact that their buildings consume wood, which will affect their technological development if interrupted by TR. The Terrans and the Undead are relatively more difficult to TR because their buildings have the ability to repair, and their heroes have certain anti-TR abilities, such as the water element of the ** division, the death coil of the Death Knight, the frost nova of the Lich, etc. Therefore, if the opponent is an orc or a night elf, the probability of choosing TR is greater, and if the opponent is a human or undead, the possibility of choosing to open a mine is greater.
The size and location of the map. Different maps also have an effect on the effect of TR. In general, minimaps and near maps are better suited to TR, as Terran players can get to their opponent's doorstep faster, and opponents' resource points are more likely to be blocked. Large and far maps, on the other hand, are more suitable for mining, as Terran players will take longer to reach their opponent's doorstep, and opponents' resource points will be more difficult to block. In addition, special points on the map, such as mercenary camps, shops, goblin labs, etc., will also affect the effect of TR. If there are these points on the map, Terran players can use them to enhance their TR abilities, such as buying mercenaries, buying consumables, buying flying units, etc. And if the opponent can use these points to strengthen their defenses, such as buying mercenaries, consumables, flying units, etc., then the effect of TR will be reduced.
Own heroes and equipment. Terran players should also consider their heroes and equipment when choosing between TR and mining. Generally speaking, if a Terran player has a higher hero level or has powerful equipment, they are more likely to choose TR, as it will better use their advantage to suppress their opponents. However, if the Terran player has a lower hero level or has average equipment, it is more likely to choose to mine, because this can better ensure their development and avoid being counterattacked by the opponent. Of course, the equipment here refers not only to treasures, but also to consumables, such as large magic bottles, ** potions, rolling stones, bombs, etc. These consumables can be very useful when TR, increasing your attack or defense.
To sum up, after the Terran player has the advantage of equipment in the early stage, the choice of TR or mining needs to be decided according to the specific situation of the game, and there is no fixed answer. However, regardless of which tactic you choose, pay attention to the following:
Investigation. Reconnaissance is the key to TR tactics and the guarantee of mining tactics. Before choosing TR or mining, Terran players must first scout the opponent's situation, such as the opponent's race, heroes, buildings, units, resource points, etc. This allows you to better develop your own tactics and also better respond to your opponent's reactions.
Occasion. Timing is the soul of TR tactics and the key to mining tactics. After choosing TR or mining, Terran players must grasp the timing, such as when to send troops and when to build towers
