Build Order: 4 of your 5 starting peons send to gold mine while 1 builds an altar of storms. Make four more peons.
First peon builds burrow, second builds barracks, third goes to gold mine, fourth goes to cut lumber.
Wait for your altar to finish, queue a Blademaster (WW, Crit, WW, Crit, Crit, Bladestorm skill order) and scout for the opponent with your altar peon. Build your second burrow as soon as you have 40 wood (return resources early to get 40 wood faster.)
At 16/20 food, your barracks will finish and you should have 200 gold. Queue 3 grunts.
Upgrade your Great Hall to Stronghold for tier 2 capabilities.
Build a spirit lounge in your base preferably near the back and creep easy camps near your base with the grunts only while your Blade is harassing your opponent. Build your third burrow around 26 food and keep grunts in production until you have three to five of them depending on how much you spent on items. You want to keep enough gold to produce everything you need at tier 2 which is listed below. Before tier 2 finishes upgrading, build a war mill so you can get upgrades, voodoo beasts, and towers if you need them.
Wait for your upgrade to Stronghold to finish, train a Far Seer (wolves, chain, wolves, far sight, chain, earthquake skill order). Build a Beastiary so you can get raiders. Finally, upgrade berserker strength at your barracks for your grunts.
Get your tier 2 buildings done, build your fourth burrow. When Spirit lodge is finished train Shaman and when he is finished upgrade adept training then get 1 more shaman.
Get your beastiary finished, train your first raider, research ensnare, then train another raider, and build 2 catapults to destroy towers easier. Build a kodo beast once you have 2 shamans and 2 raiders + grunts. The kodo should put you at or near 50/50 food. Build more burrows and make a few Witch Doctors from Spirit Lounge and Wyverns from Beastiary. Upgrade Pillage at your Stronghold. Then build Tauren Totem and train a Earthshaker.
Beware Upkeep: Only break upkeep once you have 50/70 or 50/80 food (20 or 30 unused food) AND you have purchased all the items and upgrades you need AND you have 1000 gold or more in the bank. You may like to also tech to tier 3 before breaking upkeep. If you can get an expansion then it's safe to break upkeep before all these conditions are met only if the expansion has paid for itself at the very least. Now, it's time to take the fight to your opponent with all your forces!
