War3: RoC - Orc mission 4 - tips?

[Aegis Runestone]

It's been awhile, and I wanted to play this over again, so I started from the beginning.

I'm in the Slash and Burn mission with Grom. I can't fathom getting 15,000 lumber without getting slaughtered by the Night Elves.

Anyone got any tips on how to beat this one?

Just search on google, an good site is Video Game Cheats, Reviews, FAQs, Message Boards, and More - GameFAQs

I was hoping to get some help here. I'm not fond of GameFAQs (even though I frequent it. >.>). I'll go look. Thank you for responding, though. I do appreciate it.

Edit: Okay, I read the FAQ; one of the bases attacks with Shadowmelded units. How do I counter that? I don't think the Orcs have any see invisible units like the Humans and the Undead do.

Here is: GameFAQs: Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (PC) FAQ/Walkthrough by Lord Zero

Just Ctrl + F "11.4.4" And you'll find it.

Umm... Thank you for the link, but that doesn't tell me how to counter shadowmelded units. :S

Well, just find or buy an Gem of True Seeing, or just go up with lots of Grunts and 2-3 shamans and kill the weak archers! Of course, leave some Shamans. Troll Hunters and Kodos in the base, to protection against the Hippos.

Okay, thanks!

Well, try these tips, actually, I beat this map only staying at the base most of the time, just leaving it for an Optional Quest, and builded lots of towers at the northeen part of the base.

 

[Aegis Runestone]

Thank you so much. I managed to beat it. That was difficult.

 

[HFR]

You did it? Well, now keep going!

I remember that it was best to scout ahead with a medium force and then kill off some of those night elves, then build a base somewhere and defend that base all why keep gathering lumber.

But since you already finished it... =p

 

[Aegis Runestone]

I'll keep that in mind for next time.

What's the point in cheating? In most games (except maybe the GTA series) it strips the fun right anyway. Not to mention the cheat is greedisgood and not greed is good.

@OP

I generally mass grunts and raiders with ensnare. It's also quite ideal to destroy enemy trees of life to speed up the gathering process.

I disagree. Sometimes when the challenge is too much, I can't be bothered and I just wanna know the story

Some players play games for the experience, not challenge.
