- WARCRAFT: THE GREAT WAR!
- By Paul O'Keefe
-
-
- Warcraft: The Great War is a brand new level that I created. I downloaded
- a Warcraft level construction kit off of Compuserve about two weeks ago.
- Since then, I have been working on a really cool level, which you have just
- downloaded. I know it is hard, and you may throw your computer against the
- wall a few times before you beat it, but it IS possible. I beat it in about
- an hour, using NO CHEAT CODES!!! NO POT OF GOLDS! NO EYE OF NEWTS! NO IRON
- FORGES! I used the resources and beat the level.
- In this level, you play the bloodthirsty Orcs. I give you plenty of men
- to start off with: 4 raiders, 4 spearmen, 4 peons, 2 necrolytes, 2 warlocks,
- 2 grunts and 1 catapult. These warriors can defend your base for quite a
- while.
- There is a mine with 64,000 units of gold practically right next to your
- Town Hall. If you use that up (I did!) there is another mine with 64,000
- units of gold just a bit farther. You start off with 2500 gold and 2000
- lumber. But you'll go through that fairly quickly. There are plenty of trees
- around, but none of my buildings ever got destroyed, so you won't need much
- lumber. (they did get damaged though)
- You might recognize the map that I built off of, but I changed it quite
- a bit. Your base is at the top, their BASES are along the bottom. There is a
- river going right across the middle of the map, dividing your base from his.
- There are four bridges, plus a super secret place where you can WALK ON
- WATER!! In some places, you can also WALK ON TREES! It looks really cool.
- But beware, the enemy uses these special places a lot.
- When you start you have a full town, complete with town hall, barracks,
- tower, temple, lumber mill, blacksmith, kennel, and farms. You won't have
- enough farms to support your existing troops, so be sure to build more. Also,
- you will NOT HAVE ANY TECHNOLOGY! Whatever you want, you'll have to research.
- I may have had an unfair advantage over you when I beat this level. I
- built it, so I know where the base is, where choke points are, secret paths,
- cutoff points, etc. Feel free to use SALLY SHEARS to see the map and plan
- your strategy, but turn it off when you start actually playing. But don't
- use any other cheats, unless you're a wimp and can't beat a level.If you beat
- this level WITHOUT USING ANY CHEATS, consider yourself a great Warcraft
- player.
- That's about it. If you want to know my strategy, keep reading. Otherwise
- stop reading and start playing my level. GOOD LUCK!

- These hints might not be very useful, but they're the strategy I used to
- beat the level.
-
- 1. The enemy only attacks using the 2 central bridges, and the walk-across
- water part, which is in between the 2 central bridges. I played the whole
- level and only one archer went through the bridge on the far right.
- Position your troops so that you can cover all 3 ways.
-
- 2. Build Warlocks. Demons are very powerful, and can break through most
- defenses. There are groups of archers at the bottom of all the bridges.
- Use demons to attack the bases. Only use your troops for defense, unless
- a demon has managed to kill all of the troops of a certain base, then
- you will want to send dome people down to finish the base off.
-
- 3. The First time you attack an enemy base, the enemy will mount a massive
- attack on your own base. You will want to have 1 or 2 demons at your base
- to help defend it. The good ting is that after this huge attack, the
- enemy bases are not very well defended.
-
- 4. Enemy catapults are your worst enemy. Make sure you have explored enough
- so that you can kill a catapult before it fires right into the middle of
- your defensive line. Just get in close to a catapult, and it won't be able
- to hit you.
-
- 5. The town you have when you start off is inadequate. You will want to add
- a second or maybe even a third barracks. You will also need many more
- farms.
-
- 6. You start off with two necrolytes. I never built any more. All I did with
- them was use unholy armor a few times, a used dark vision a lot. A LOT!
- I had uncovered almost the entire map. This really helps and lets you
- plan ahead if you see troops gathering far an attack.
-
- GOOD LUCK WITH WARCRAFT: THE GREAT WAR!
