Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness Part 12 strategy for destroying the Kul Tiras navy and the Tomb of Sargeras. Includes island defense and unit tactics.
Walkthrough
- 1Defend your starting island with Cannon Towers and Archer Towers, focusing defense on the south where blue attacks and the north/top right for green's griffin routes.
- 2Build your first shipyard north of your start point and secure the northwest oil field.
- 3Produce Troll Destroyers, upgrading their defense, and then build Juggernauts. Ensure both ship types have a spotter handy due to submarines.
- 4Build a second shipyard to save time on ship production; you need five total to win.
- 5Once you have at least level 4 Juggernauts with a spotter, hunt down green's ships, which are usually in groups of about four.
- 6If griffins appear, retreat and send in Troll Destroyers.
- 7After clearing green's ships, use a transport to send a small force to destroy the griffin lair on green's top island.
- 8Be cautious around the defended island, but the rest of the level is straightforward.
- 9Hunt for any remaining submarines, being careful when flying around the island.
- 10Build the remaining 3-4 shipyards.
- 11To finish off Kul Tiras, destroy their navy and the Human Settlement on Kul Tiras.
- 12You start on an island in the bottom right with a sizable force and navy. Gather your force and attack the concentrated Kul Tiras navy to the northwest immediately.
- 13Destroy the shipyard, oil field, and oil ships of Kul Tiras.
- 14While your ships engage, load troops into transports and send them across the bottom of the map. Clear the passage with ships if necessary.
- 15Unload troops on the small part of the island cut off by a river crossing. Build your defense at this bottleneck, using trolls against griffins.
- 16Build your town south of the trees, keeping peasants near towers for repairs.
- 17Build a fortress, then get a couple of Dragons and a Death Knight. Haste the dragons and send them to the top left corner to destroy two griffin towers.
- 18Use the dragons to take out troops and cannon towers, then expend them.
- 19Take and defend at least one of the two mines near the middle of the map.
- 20With new resources, build more dragons. A squad of 5-6 dragons can destroy green's castle.
- 21With the castle destroyed, mop up remaining enemies.
- 22Once all objectives are complete, Kul Tiras is gone.
Tips
- A simple tower arrangement like CCAACC/CCAACC/AAAAAA/AAAAAA can stop most blue troops, but have troops ready for catapults.
- A double defense upgrade on Troll Destroyers will keep them active for the rest of the level.
- If you get ships back, use them to sink remaining transports to save on food.
- Use trolls to keep griffins back while establishing your base defense.
- Keep the Death Knight alive at all costs in The Tomb of Sargeras.
- Spend most of The Tomb of Sargeras waiting for the Death Knight's mana to recharge.
