I love wwz it is the best game ever. I enjoy to play it a lot, and it's probably the only game I play on warcraft. This discussion is about how to become good at wwz. My advice read the book, play a lot, try out different strategies each game see which ones work and which ones don't, play as a different country each game, this will give you greater knowledge of the game and give you tons of experience. Another way at becoming a badass wwz player is KNOW YOUR ENEMY play a couple of games as zombies or vice-versa, by doing this you can find what is good against them, and what is bad.

The key to being good is team work, without it you will probably die.
There are a few exeptions, but generaly team work will triumph over a lone psyco.
Another key is to know movements before they happen, so keep a vast intelegence network over hostile areas.

Serenity your skills are for novices at WWZ if you get to be badass at it you can do w/e you want and still win. I have had many games where I warred everyone killed them off and soon defeated the zombies.

Seren

Well Marsh perhaps you played against people who were not very good, I am confident that Russian and I could easily overrun you if you decided to go try to kill everyone in a game.
And your army is useless if I can blow it up before it reaches the border

How to get good? All units are counters to each other. All units are also either main combat or support. You always need support, and you need about 1 of each of the main combat types in an army. So you need a major mix. Combined arms.

I used to be a great wwz player as you know :P, though I am quite rusty now.

My strat for being good was this.

Early Game(Emergency Situation, medium-major outbrake).
I would, after clearing my areas, mass enough riflemen to pack a choke point (On the old map, if it was in the fat east as it normally is, either the space between the coast of France and the mountains, or the entrance to Italy. I would also add in 2 support units( IE: SAS is what is was called correct?), or if possible, a bunch of artillerys, as, when put at a choke point, and you have a full group of 12 with mana support, and you know how to hotkey, they can keep a line steady for an hour.
Ounce the initial wave have died, I will advance 8 sqaures and if if doesn't come within a minute or so, send a heli in to find out where they are, and send in my team of artilery with an SAS, and wipe out as many as possible, (the sas is for incase they get chased), then send in the riflemen, clear the place out, put enough riflemen at each one for defeat a spitter coming out, and destroy each infected city with the artillery(as it is MUCH faster if you use them).

Early Game- Minor outbrakes.

Air, and ground support, and just some decent tactics.


late game- Massive outbreak, little left.

Fortify a base in Briton(version X) HEAVILY, get advanced tech, create death squads of tesla soldiers with a blimp, drop them off infront of an abandoned city, 3 hits, no city, pick up, and GTFO, repeat for as long as possible.

late game human wars.

Wipe out the enemies air force, and get soem paladins up in that hizzy.

Boom, that kidna covers my strategy...

My usual early game strategy is to take command of the people and organize them all so I know what I will have to go up against, if I know France is not good I will get a strong army to send to support them and make tanks to keep my home land safe and take it before other humans can.
If it looks like a large out break in the east I organize defenses along the rivers (old map)
And if there is an Italian outbreak I do the same as with France.
If a human goes rogue I organize people to defend and attack the lone human with a decimation of all their air first then anti air defenses then finally their production well having others fight the ground war thus overwhelming their ability to produce.
