Human strategy in Warcraft 3: Reforged
Humans are a powerful faction in Warcraft 3: Reforged. It is viable in all stages from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. Once you've started, you want to build your essential structures first. This includes a sawmill, barracks, shrine of the kings and two farms. You'll also want to build a Scout Tower and upgrade it to a Guard Tower to protect against enemy hits.
Meanwhile, train at least 3-4 more Peasants to start harvesting Resources. You'll want to have a steady flow of gold and lumber. Choose the first Hero unit and train some lackeys and riflemen. This will be your main group of researchers.
Once you have prepared an army of scouts, start exploring the map. You'll want to hunt neutral camps to find items and level up your Hero unit. If you encounter your opponent's scout army, try to deal as much damage as possible. Target normal troops instead of the Hero unit as they can revive them at any time.
By eliminating your opponent's troops, you essentially slow down their production as they have to build a second army of scouts from scratch.
With the Human faction, you'll want to build Scout Towers wherever possible. Once the main gold mine runs out, send the peasants to a second gold mine after clearing the neutral camp to build a second town center. Build a Scout Tower nearby to defend against attacks while harvesting resources.
The key to victory is to keep building and collecting as you explore the map. Keep shooting at your opponent's troops and peasants to slow down their economy. As you upgrade your troops, structures, and hero units, you'll soon have an army strong enough to lay siege to.
