These are strategies that just don't fit into any of the above categories. Some

of them are weird and mostly for fun, while others are highly-effective but are

difficult to do. Some of them just didn't have any where else to go.

Destroyer

ABILITIES : Carrion Beetles (Crypt Lord)

Death Coil (Death Knight

CIRCUMSTANCES : Enemy doesn't rush.

Because Ghouls make good melee units, it allows you to stay at tier 1 long enough to build an expansion. Build the expansion, train the Acolytes, and then get to upgrading. Make sure you have enough Ghouls to defend the expansion (11 Ghouls, plus a Crypt Lord and Carrion Beetles is enough). Use a Sacrificial Skull to help build defenses at the expansion and creep near it so you can go back there if the need be. While you're upgrading to the Halls of the Dead get 2 or 3 Crypt Fiends so that when you hit tier 2 you can research web for some anti-air. As soon as you reach tier 2, train a Death Knight with Death Coil, and get Death Pact as he reaches level 2. Then, build a Temple of the Damned and a Slaughterhouse. When you have enough cash, build another Temple of the Damned and a Sacrificial Pit (With the expansion, you'll make money quickly). Get

Necros, a pair of Statues, 2 Shades, and some Gargs. Upgrade to Black Citadel as well. From then on it's just a matter of teching and upgrading one of the Statues into a Destroyer. Because of the Shades you should know what your opponent is doing, so you should balance out your units accordingly. The whole idea is based around getting an early expansion and defending until your force is ready. It works well unless your opponent rushes during tier 1.
