  19. 19

  20. 20
    If Mal'Ganis attacks before you have a good number of knights, retreat to your base and focus on destroying houses elsewhere to buy time.

    Head to the top left if Mal'Ganis chased you from the bottom, or to the bottom right if he chased you from the top left.

Tips
  • You can indicate when a house has been destroyed when the screen shakes a bit.
  • Once the castle is assembling, have a peasant start building additional farms and shift-command them to your watch towers to turn on auto-repair.
  • Hotkey your barracks.
  • Your knights can outrun meat wagons.
  • If you get a second barracks, hotkey both to the same key, and any knights you order will be evenly distributed between the barracks.
  • The undead are weak and your knights can drop houses in about a minute.
  • Arthas's undead don't do too much damage to your knights.
  • A group of 11 knights is plenty to finish the mission with.
