I am using BO that I seen on this site, but I was playing someone last night and we were both Elves. I build a like this
Tree Tree Rax tree Lorien
By the time I had 2 trees and the Rax, he had 4 trees and a Rax. So needless to say before long he has Silver arrows and whipped me good, how is it possible for him to build that much faster? Any help please.
Thank you.

Did you have any lag in the game? I quit a game last night because it would freeze for 5 seconds, then play for 5 seconds, on and off. I don't think my opponent had the same problem, because he was able to build and do a warg rush.

Did you save the replay ? Maybe he is using hotkeys or he's making his buildings near to the starting positions of his workers.Or maybe it's the lag as Kester said.But a replay would be usefull.

I do have a replay, I am at work right now, but I can post this later.....I have a great computer and a good connection. I watched the replay and I place my BO as close as I can too my builder... I do not use shortcuts though.
Thanks for the help

I rarely have lag unless it's a 3v3 game or a 2v2 with someone with a bad connection. There's one particular map that always does it though. As soon as I find the name of it I'm going to make a thread and see if everyone has trouble with it.

I'll bet he was quicker at his controlling and built closer to the starting points, saving a few seconds for resorce gathering and construction speed. Also, he probobly had 3 or 4 of the trees before he got the barraks, which is possible becuase he had a larger resorce flow becasue of it.
