The people at Blizzard should look at the book: "Sun Tzu, The Art Of
War" for some cool Ideas.
Here is an exerpt that shows how nonmagical fear could be used.

    "Shortly before 500 B.C. the concepts which had moderated warfare
began to change. War became more ferocious. A battle in 518 B.C. between
the armies of Wu and Ch'u provides a macabre illistration. Here the
viscount of Wu ordered three thousand condemed men to line themselves up
in front of his formation where in the full sight of the opposing host
they committed suicide by cutting thier own throats. The Ch'u army and
its allied troops fled in terror."

So if you order your peons or injured/almost-dead troops to kill them
selves in front of the enemy, the enemy should run away. I only
mentioned this part of the book because it is funny, but the book
contains tons of valuble strategies and Ideas that would work great in
Warcraft 3, and alot of the strategies in it are the same ones I use for
Warcraft via modem, and most of them work(killing your troops in
front of the enemy does not work though). I would also like to see the
computer AI in Warcraft 3 use formations.
