You'll learn about most every unit and pick up a lot of good strategies in the campaign, but to really pick up on how best to play Warcraft III, you can start by watching the AI do its thing. On the other hand, the average Warcraft III player might not like getting stomped, but he or she has the option of teaming up with the AI and observing its meticulous tactics firsthand. You can tell that the artificial intelligence was designed to put up a good fight against even some of the most highly skilled players. It plays ideally and controls its heroes expertly, making for a truly capable yet perhaps overly efficient opponent. Your starting base probably won't be enough to sustain the forces you'll need to win, since gold is limited, so seeking out expansion areas and building new bases there is all part of the midgame challenge.
Day turns to night (and back again) over the course of a match, a nice aesthetic touch that also realistically reduces most units' line of sight, while affording you with some subtle strategic opportunities.
Buildings can withstand a lot of damage from most types of units even for lengthy periods of time, though specialized siege weapons can quickly destroy them. Hero units, and most units for that matter, can take a beating before they die, which sometimes affords you with enough time to pull them out of a battle and heal them up so that they might live to fight another day. You see the hit point meters of enemy units deplete precisely at the moment they're struck by your forces. More importantly, the way the action plays out in a typical match is really outstanding, which is something that's as rare in real-time strategy games as it is difficult to describe.
