1: Introduction
******************
Hi welcome to my guide about heroes in Warcraft from
Blizzard. Before the guide i would like to tell you about
My self. My name is Arman Darkahi I'm 15 years old and
i LOVE games.
I have always been a fan of Blizzard it started when i played
Warcraft 1 and then I played Warcraft 2 and loved them
even more, but then i just forgot about Blizzard when they
decided to do a RPG, Diablo, i didnt play it and i still
haven't. But when they made Diablo 2 I slowly started to
give in. And when they made the expansion pack
Lord of Destruction they won I loved it... for 6 months,
then I started to dream about Warcraft 3 I wanted it so
badly and everytime they realsed new pictures it started
again BUT now that I have it I just LOVE IT!! It's one of
the best RTS in gaming history. One of the things that make
it so good is the heroes. Now enough about me lets get on
with the guide.

4: What are heroes
*****************
Heroes are special characters that you summon to help you
in battles. The special thing about heroes are that they
can go up in levels and use/learn strong magic attacks.
They can also pick up items like potion and town portals.
I heard that many people say that the heroes made the game
bad but I say they make it better it gives more to do in
the game. The heroes magic and ability changes from race to
race. The night elves heroes likes nature more then let
say undead heroes. To summon a hero you need a special
building, altar. Heroes are they key to victory in Warcraft3.
It's important to level up with the hero and more important,
how to play with it. If the hero has ranged attack then you
should stand behind your troops and let they do the close
fighting. Many new players send their hero with the rest of
the troop and they die more. I can't tell you how to play
with your hero you have to play and see for yourself it
also depends on the hero you summoned.
__________________________________________________________
*************
5: Hero guide
*************
To summon a hero you have to use one of your workers to
build the building/altar. If you play with Night elves
use a wisp to build an "Altar of Elders". When you have
build the building left click on it, In the lower right
corner you should see 3 buttons with pictures (of a face)
on it that is your hero. If you hold your mouse over
it you see what magic's it can learn and what is required
to summon it. You also see the name of the hero.
The ratings in this guide are my own opinion.
---------------------------------------------------------
If you have any tip on how to use the magic send them in
and be more then happy to put it in the guide

MP= mana points (mana)
HP= hit points (health)

==-TIP-== make yourslef invisibly and go in to the enemys base and
use this spell. It wouldn't hurt to have a potion or two.

==-TIP-==(thx to Pecker for this one)
Sending a single invisible unit into the center of an enemy's base, having
him Hold Position, and then Teleporting the Archmage in with a small army of
troops bypasses most defenses entirely and definitely disrupts the enemy's
economy.

Rating: 5/5
/---------------------\
Sent in by DragonLord
\---------------------/
you mention the night elf demon hunter was
supposed to hunt demons, so it seems odd that he would
turn into a demon at his ultimate level. Yet somewhere
along the way (In the book that came with it, or the
actual game itself) I remember reading Demon Hunters
gave up their Night Elf Social status and begun
learning Demon Lore in hopes of using it against the
demons. Sort of like a fight fire with fire deal. Most
Demon Hunters were banned from the Night Elves for
this.

How could i miss that :)

==================
Every time your hero fights he gain experience (exp) after a while he/she
will go up a level now is your chance to learn some magic spells. If
you look at your heroes picture in the upper right corner you see a
a number (normally 1) this shows how many spell points you have left (you
get one from each level up).
If you know select your hero and look at the right panel, you see a
big "+" this is not a first aid kit or something. Now click on it
and you know see all the magic you hero can learn. Now the only
thing you have to do is click on one of the buttons and voila you
have learned a spell.
===============
5.6 using magic
===============
When you have learned a spell, select you hero and look at the right
panel. You should see a button with a picture of the spell you learned.
Now click on it, if you get a select circle select a target and BOOM
