Nikolaus began playing about 3 years ago in RoC. Even then he was a very talented player. Even as much as he hates to admit it today, he indeed started off playing Nightelves.

Why did you choose to play Human?
They are the most fun to play and best suit my play style.

If you could choose to be good with any other race, which would you choose? Night Elf, because when I play with them on smurf accounts I really enjoy it.

How balanced is the game, in your oppinion, at the moment?
And now I don’t think it's as bad as everyone says. There’s the obvious need for Orc to have stronger anti-caster, various tweaks to night elf, and my precious towers.

If you were the person in charge of making the patches at Blizzard what would you change?
 Towers need an obvious nerf, but if they do that I think the human army would need a strong buff.
 I’d like to see their hero’s tweaked a little, all that nuking is very annoying. Destroyers can be tough at times, as well as fiends.
 Definitely the Blademaster, he can walk through units at level one and go invisible which seems dumb to me. Chain Wave needs a nerf as well as ensnare.
 Need to ask?::smiles::

What unit groupings do you use?
1 - Archmage
2 - Foots, Rifles, Breakers, Knights, Gryphons, Mountain King and Paladin.
3 - Casters, Hawks, Gyros, Tanks, and Mortars.1
4 - Alter
5 - militia
6-0 buildings

Any special hotkeys?
Yes, I use R to move and I fixed my Quill beast hotkey so I don’t make a silly mistake.

If you could only play on 5 maps on the Battle.net ladders which would you choose?
Lost Temple, Turtle Rock, Twisted Meadows, and Maelstrom and um……Jack O’ Lantern.

On what maps do each race have an advantage?
Obviously on Lost Temple, Human and NightElf but other maps I think. Echo Isle-Orc...and hmmm I can't think of anymore.

What do you think of the sudden new patch?
I dislike how they didn't buff the human army at all while nerfing the towers. I havent played much of the new patch but id love to see night elf get nerfed more.
