While constructing your base you must always remain alert because the enemy will constantly attempt to disrupt your progress with rapid attacks. Many times did I send out a scouting party only to return to see my base engulfed in flames with bodies strewn all around. The enemy is best attacked with a small selection of differing troops rather than a mass similar soldiers. Swordsmen and Ogres to the front, Axethrowers and Archers behind and Catapults to the rear. The Swordsmen will fight their way through the front line while protected by the axes and arrows raining down on the enemy.
Catapults are slow and have little armor but can destroy almost anything from about twenty feet.
When raging war at sea you must always include an airship in your armada to spot hiding submarines. The Outcome Victory is announced when your mission has been carried out successfully. Defeat will be ridiculed and you must suffer the embarrassment of replaying the same level once again. Your leadership will be marked accordingly on the scoreboard at the end of each level. If your new to strategic war games then Warcraft II offers a gentle learning curve and addictive gameplay.
