Here is my collection of strategies on Warcraft 2. Please add you own! Thanks When Surrounded by water, you MUST dominate the seas. If you do this you have guaranteed a WIN. To dominate the seas, you need a foundry and airships/aeroplanes. This means you will not get attacked by subs. Subs are good at the beginning for when the enemy has no airships. Then build up Destroyers and battle ships. Take out the enemy shipyard so they cant have ships. Keep it destroyed. Then take out the oil refineries + all other ships. Now you have got total naval dominance. They will now go for Flying if they are marooned on an Island. Make loads of destroyers. If you are attacked by a huge fleet of ships and you dont have naval Dominance, then you can flatten them with catapults, that have longer range than ships. Also Ballistas. Then Make a Blizzard/whirlpool to finish them off. Take out the Flying ships with guard towers. Scared of Gryphons/Dragons? Dont be! 4 archers at 2000 gold or axe throwers will stop them. Keep then spaced out though! You should only lose one archer (500) gold, while they lose a dragon at 2500. Ha Ha Ha ! Blizzards take out everything and so do Whirlwinds. Spy on them with Airships If you have killed a few dragons and flattened there fleet then they cant get you and will build up a defence. Dont let them!, by attacking early with loads of archers, catapults, ballistas, and Paladins and footmen. Subs cant attack land so use them on ships early! They are dead if there is a flyer above. Use slow spell on the flyers, its easy to shoot them. Sappers/Demolition squad are brill for taking out annoying buildings like dragon roosts. Send in huge groups of them in transports to kill the enemy. Guard towers will take out the dragons and zeppelins. If the enemy are over a stretch of water, then make your village on the opposite side of your island. Then build a few guard towers in your village and then some at regular intervals across the island towards the enemy island. All dragons detailed to attack your base will be shot at on their way to your village. Plant runes where transports keep landing so they take out all those men who are unloaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- | George Sylvain Email: geo...@sylvain.demon.co.uk | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
