6. Epilogue (Lore)

After the death of Illidan Stormrage, Maiev Shadowsong dispensed the mercenaries she hired throughout her quest for justice. Upon their return to the civilized world, these mercenaries headed staight for the taverns and told of their adventures to magical golden ruins whomever was willing to listen. Intrigued and fascinated by their epic tales, a few would-be adventurers decided to organize large expeditions to these misteryous ruins these drunken hirelings were yapping about in the hopes of finding untold riches.

7. Tips & Hints

- Attack often. For every food your forces are currently using, 0.5 gold is deducted from your income. Since you also gain gold from attacking and killing enemy units, this helps you maintain a healthy amount of gold;

- Make a varied army! Self-explainable;

- Play fast! If you don't know what unit to hire, just click on a random one, otherwise, the AI will out-produce you;

- Don't put the AI in Insane! No really; you'll regret it if you do.
