Can't I just mix and match to make my own race?

Lenlalron had this to say about John Romero:
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.
Burrows and Watch Towers are your friends

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.

Night Elves, see sig.
Didn't get the see sig part of the message... I think it's appropriate that the intro to the quote involves dark elf butts.

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
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

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.

Janus had this to say about Cuba:
The Night Elf Hero, Demon Hunter, says it.
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.

Willias spewed forth this undeniable truth:
Undead and Orcs.or the opponent doesn't attack right away,
Out of like the 10 or so high rank games i've played today, that's only happened once.
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. [ 07-08-2002: Message edited by: Lenlalron ]
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!"

MorbId had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
Undead. Even if I didn't already favor undead, I'd be impressed with their efficiency. They also have the best quotes/voices.
"My life for Aiur.. err, I mean, Ner-zhul!" - acolyte
"All I see is blackness! Oh.. my hood's down." - acolyte
"Spider sense.. tingling.." Crypt fiend
"Just as soon as I overthrow this fool, I'll - oh. Hello. Didn't know you were there." - Dreadlord
"(Ring ring) Hello? For the last time, I'm a DREADlord, not a druglord!" - Dreadlord
"This is not a dress! It's the official dreadlord uniform!" - Dreadlord
"Don't touch me. I'm eevil." - Death knight
"The Cult of the Damned! I need to print more brochures.." - Kel'Thuzad, lich
"50,000 a year in child care and they call it a cult?!" - Kel'Thuzad, lich
"I am the ghost of WarCraft past!" - lich
"We come in piece...es." - Abomination
"I see undead people." - Necromancer
"Right click for hot undead action."- Necromancer

Lmao. I think this has settled my moral debate between NWN or War3.

With the rest of the group slots filled with regular tauren
BRING IT ON
Not Night Elves, since like 80% of my opponents play them
Playing all 3, and my god did I get my ass kicked with humans a few times, to try and decide
I like orcs, but damn, everything is so freakin' expensive, heh
So there.
