Regent (WC1 Human)

Regent is the first mission of the Human campaign in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. In this mission, an unnamed regent is asked to construct a small outpost and defeat local orcish patrols scattered in the area.
==Mission briefing==
As a test of your abilities, the King has appointed you as Regent over a small parcel of land. Since we must keep our armies in the field well supplied, you are to build the town into a farming center of no less than 6 farms. Construction of a barracks for defense is also advised, as our scouts have reported Orc patrols in the area.
==Battle==
The human regent and his troops began the construction of six farms and a barracks as ordered by King Llane. While constructing these buildings, the humans encountered orcish grunts and spearmen who were scouting out the nearby lands. Minor skirmishes ensued between human footmen and the orcish scouts. Searching out the renegade orcs, the humans managed to defeat all of the orcish patrols in the area.
==Guide==
Begin with building a Peasant and send your first one to the nearby Gold Mine just east of your base. Once the Peasant is complete, command it to build a Farm along any part of the road, then train at least one more Peasant and have it gather resources. Eventually you will have to build four more Farms and a Barracks to complete the mission objectives. There is more than enough road to build all your buildings along it and you should not have to build any more.
You can explore the map with your Footmen, which will be necessary should you spend too much on additional units. There are Gold Mines to the northwest, southwest and one to the far south. The southwest and south ones have 1-2 enemy units guarding them (Grunts and Spearmen), requiring you to clear them out with Footmen before you can send your Peasants there (Reminder: Peasants cannot attack). The northwest Gold Mine does have not have any nearby units, though three enemy units are in the nearby vicinity. Regardless, it is possible to move a Peasant to the mine and mine gold without attracting their attention.
===The Easy Way===
There is no truly fast way to win this mission, since initial resources are a bit tight. Between your starting resources and what is available in the Gold Mine (to the east), you have enough gold to build 5 farms and 1 barracks. This allows you to skip the exploration and having to conduct any long-distance mining. You will need to empty out the mine and gather 1600 units of lumber, so put one Peasant on the Gold Mine and two on the trees to the north of the Town Hall. Stay away from the northwest corner of that patch of trees; a Grunt is nearby and if it is alerted to your presence, it will prioritize going after your Peasants.
If you wish to delay building a farm to maximize resource gathering, you can kill off one of your Footmen, early on.
