Human tinker no rax tech to hawks vs elf- let there be laming

In early game you take turns being annoying at enemy base and militia creeping. Boots + staff of teleport are needed. multiple towers at base is needed since you wont have footies. Delay enemy from creeping, do damage to lumber economy by killing wisp, and take down buildings like shop and lores before they get up. Delay is the goal.

Once you have 3 or 4 hawks, you can send them to back of base and hunt wisp. Use Tinker factory to do damage to buildings. Constant scouting of enemy expo is necessary. When close to 50 food, look to have an expo of your own, so make sure you have a cleared gold mine to expo behind another base attack. If your opponent gets an expo up, try to get 2 expos up. Always be one gold mine ahead. 2 aviaries if on 1 base, 3 if on 2.

If enemy goes hippo riders, attack his base to draw them out, pull back over trees, and then shackle them where they will be helpless.

Dryads are priority targets. Our hawks do great damage vs them because of piercing attacks. If hes massing bears and relying on heros to hit hawks, then its time to go gryphs.

Laming is key. Make him split forces( like if you see 1 hero + dryads at each base) then you choose to attack one force with all of your units. If he only sends a handful of dryads back to defend his base, go pick them off with hawks. Try not to let APs get up, but if they do, you can go tier 3 for cloud ability. Dont forget unit upgrades at blacksmith.

Mass expos will help you greatly. If he attacks one, you can trade it for attacking one of his. This is why you always want 1 extra base, so you can keep trading and avoid a large fight until you are ready to finish him off.
