Well, after some time to analyse my games, I have settled on more or less, an exclusive NE game, due to the nigh-ridicilous monotony of Human... AM/MK, MK/AM, prevent harass, try to creep, rifles, tech to casters, fast expand if cross-map, same old, same old.
With NE, there are quite a few viable strategies - not to mention that 3 of their heroes have some impressive harassment potential. I love the entire "Immolate suicide on peasants, do it twice, and you've killed all his lumber, if tower, or not Human, manaburn creepjack him, shadowstrike harass in creepjacking, entangling fleeing units". So much more interesting then breaking a sweat, trying to save your peasants from that damned Far Seer...
And, of course, there's nothing more satisfying then pulling off a perfect detonate, that both burns the Far Seer's/DK's mana, AND takes out the spirit wolves/skeletons that he just summoned.
