Warcraft2 strategys. First im going to go over some of my breif strategys and breif strategys used by many others. Spread out- If your match is expected to be a long one always spread out early one base will never do against an experienced player. Build Barracks- Always build at least 2 barracks on your primary base and one for each of your other bases. Even if your playing a water level a barracks should be an early built structure. Upgrading- Always have at least level 3 footmen before attacking. Always upgrade sheilds first unless its either water or your sure he has little defense, otherwise they will be mowed down. I've seen 1 level 2 footmen kill 3 others simply because he had a sheild upgrade instead of a sword. Repairing- Some people dident know that if you repair a structure while it's being built it will build much faster. It costs money and lumber but its worth it if your in dire need. You can also repair transport ships while they are on shore. Ocean structures- Some people may disagree with me on this but... OIL REFINERYS ARE COMPLETELY AND TOTALY POINTLESS, unless of course your oil patch is a long ways away. The magic mage trick- Cast invisiblility on a mage then walk him straight to the spot beetween your opponents hall and gold mine. Then simply have him cast a blizzard on himself dont worry his own spells cant hurt him. This trick is costly but will rid of there peasants in a snap. QUICKILL Now its time for my personal and favorite strategy of them all. THE QUICKILL!!!! It all starts with a hall, this isn't one of those stupid strategy's where you build a barracks before a hall. Anyways you build a hall then a farm, build a peasant immediatly don't waste time. Use the one who just built the farm to build a barracks. Now when your peasant gets done build a blacksmith followed by another peasant. When he gets done you'll need another barracks have him build one. (and remember don't stop building peasants any extra's should be either harvesting gold or repairing a structure) The next free peasant should build a farm. Meanwhile you should be pumping out footmen by the pair build them as soon as posible. You will need about 4 or 5 farms for this. So now you should have, 2 BARRACKS 1 HALL 2 FARMS 1 BLACKSMITH. Build several more farms and upgrade at the blacksmith, if your quick you wont need past a level 3. It may seem confusing now but get the order down and understand the base of the strategy than it will pay off. A good practicing map for this is The Mysterious Dragon Isle. So there ya go, dont harvest lumber, dont build a keep and dont build a lumber mill. If your quick it'll work. By Craig Alvarez
