I would say orcs, but they're slowly starting to piss me off (You can't do ANYTHING versus a rush!). I'd say Night Elves.
Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

Watch towers, maybe...but burrows require peons, which screws up your economy, which gives your enemy MORE time to make MORE units. It's self-destructive.

Duh, put burrows around town hall, when you get attacked, click on the burrows and click on the icon. Peons'll auto jump in them and start firing. You don't put them in there through the whole game

Undead and Orcs.

Orcs are hard as hell to build up early in the game, but if you can last a while, or the opponent doesn't attack right away, you can kick some serious ass as the game moves on.
Favored heros: Farseer and Tauren Chieftan
Favored units: Raiders, Grunts, Kodo Beast, Orc Shaman, and Troll Witchdoctor.

Undead can be really fun in team games, mainly because thier starting melee unit, the ghoul, is very easy to train and I can get out several out a few minutes into the game. Nothing like an attack of a small army three minutes into the game. Also, Undead seem to have pretty powerful high ranking units, so as the game gets harder, you can pull out more powerful units (Abominations and Crypt Fiends) and still kick serious ass.
Favored Heros: Death Knight and Dreadlord
Favored Units: Ghouls, Crypt Fiends, Abominations

I have to go with the much hated undead, I'd fallen in love with the undead theme since I started fielding an undead horde in Warhammer.

The primary reason of my liking of the undead in WC3 is due to the way acolytes can mine gold form far off mines withoout having to return to the necropolis. During multiplayer games; I'm able to send out a bunch of acolytes, have them find and leach gold off a mine far away from my main base.

So I only have to concentrate defenses aroun my troop making buildings, because all my gold mines are expendable. If my opponent finds one mine and destroys it, I likely have three others being mined to maake up for the one I lost.

My inner child is bigger than my outer adult.

The demon hunter is something that holds me off of the archers for a minute, unless he is level 6 and has demon form, and I will admit, THAT HURTS. But if not level 6, he dies just like everything else.

Undead are really good.....

Orcs are really good...I won most of my games when I could get an actual attack force together...hasn't happened in rushville 2002.

Hoomans.

Why? They're a good balance of everything. They have decent melee, decent ranged capabilities, decent spellcasting abilities, peasant militia, and the Dwarven units have the best damn quotes ever.

Dwarven Mortar Team:
"'Ey! Git yer finger outta that bunghole!"
"An' 'at's 'ow baby Dwarves're made."
"Ye got a chip on yer shoulder!" "Yes, and some fish, too!"
"/7 Burnin', lootin', bombin', shootin'... /7"
"Take this, you bastards! *BOOM!*"

Dwarven Riflemen:
"This... is... my... BOOMSTICK!"
"Guns don't kill people... I DO!"
"Ye can 'ave me blunderbuss when ye pry it from mah cold, dead 'ands!"
"Where's me drink?"
"I can' shoot straight unless I've 'ad a pint!"
"Ah, there's me drink. Get in mah belleh!"
"I shot the sheriff, an' the deputy, and yer wee doggie too!"

Orcs totally pwn. I was playing in a game today, had a farseer, 2 tauren, 4 grunt, 2 of the air thingies and a catapult. I destroyed 3 towns and lost a total of 3 orcs. Then again, by the end of the second town my farseer was level seven, and I was the only one who went creeping, apparently.

You must not of had a very good view..
But seriously here people..why is it that Elves have become the default race? I mean there are 3 year olds with more creativity now days "Hi, I am 3 years old, I am a gnome. My parents were killed by a big red dragon!" rather than "Hi, I am *insert age*, I am an elf, and my parents were killed by ORCS! OH, THE FOUL CREATURE!" "So..wanna group and take orc hill?" "Hell yes."

I like Elves mainly because of their tendency to look young and stay that way. I much prefer the younger look that Elves have to offer, not to mention their smaller yet nimble figure.
