Chimaera's Tatical Warcraft Two Report


Tactical Update

OK, in this version we will be discussing several tatics and descriptions of each type of soldier.  These are just some of Chimaera's opinions, and are subject to debate.

Lord Lothar Closure Manuever

This is possibly one of the most difficult operations to conduct.  First of all, you must make a big stockpile of gold.

Then, destroy all sources of gold around the enemy encampment.  The peons should start streaming out toward on of your mines.  They cannot be allowed to get there.

The main question that Lothar answered for us is, how do we do that?

Well, its is tough.  First, you must take out any scouts and preliminary guards around the perimeter of their base.  Then place archers and catapults, and maybe a cannon tower or two, at openings which the enemy frequently uses.  This should keep any peons from getting gold, and any stray raiding parties from finding your base while your gone.  The enemy will continue to create peons, which will reduce their gold.  But archers are not enough for a full scale bombardment and attack.  This is where our very useful knights and paladins come in.

We'll also need some Dwarven Demos for this.  In most scenarios, a part of the enemy base will be walled in by rock or forest.  Our goal is to take out a small path, attracting minimal attention, away from the main base defenses.  Blow a hole through the obstacle, then send strike parties of at least six knights.  They should be able to deal with any opposition on the base.

This is when your "stoppers" come charging from their fortifications.  All heck should break loose in the enemy camp, first targets should become and barracks and towers.

Now, in this manuever, I've skipped the parts where you take out their sentries and set up your own base defense.  The optimum defense configuration will be covered in our next issue.

Soldier Types

I will cover the human equivilants to these, but they apply to Orcs just as well.

Footmen- A good, sturdy soldier.  Well armed and shielded, is capable of taking on up to three archers at a time.  Though they have come to be more useless now that the invention of knights and Orgres has come about.

Archers- One thing about archers: They must hunt in packs.  Otherwise they are complete cannon fodder.  In groups, it is funny to watch a group helplessly slaughter an incoming foe with a rain of arrows.

Rangers- Cost lots of money.  If you have 4000 or so to spare though, they can be the Horde's worst nightmare.

Knights- The 2nd best warrior in the game IMO.  Are able to strike hard and fast.

Paladins- The best due to their ability to heal.  Don't invest in exorcism though . . .

Mages- Handy in some situations, a pain in others.  Make sure you have a use for them before building a tower.

We'll cover more units and tatics in our next issue.


Recruitment

Thanks to all of you out there who have showed interest!  You've started a great group.

We will have monthly or bi-monthly scenarios for you, and of course, tatical updates, hints, and strategies from members.  Some of these will be tough, and if you can complete them without cheating, you will definitly have bragging rights!

About the multi-player aspect of Warcraft 2.  There is a great War2 ladder out there in the Modem Games forum, the head of it is TJ Falls.  I'd recommend that for any avid H2H player as well.  We will also have challenges set up.  If you want a certain position in the Clan, like division 2nd in command or even commander, you can challenge that person over the modem.  The challenger must pay for the call, and Chimaera must be notified before the match takes place.  Both Grim Reaper and Chimaera live in California, USA.

So please sign up for the Death Reaper Clan!


Divisions

Executor Division

Skill Rating: Elite

Primary Forces: Tend to favor knights because of their speed and strength in commiting a hard, fast raid.

Stationed: Rebuilt castle where StormWind Keep once lay.

Mission:   After a hard and terrifing battle, we retook StormWind once again, and have put our base there.  Conducting operations from there, we have a good location to strike at the newfound Orchish portals and bases.

Requirements: Must complete game from both sides, and win, without cheating, the Executor Entry scenario.

Psycho Division

Skill Rating: Beginner-Advanced

Primary Forces: Whatever is available at the time.

Stationed: Is a Rogue group so to speak.  We move wherever needed.

Mission: Covert operations.  This includes assassinations, raids, demolishing, etc.

Requirements: Must have completed at least one act on both sides.

There are no set Rank requirements, as that will be decided by the commander of your division.


Description

The Death Reaper Clan is an elite faction within the Human Army.  We perform all special jobs, spying, commando raids, assassinations, anything that a simple Grunt would be unable to use massive armies to accomplish for one reason or the other.  We were given the title of Clan for our ruthlesness and extreme lust for battle, that even rivaled our Orcish foes.

The Death Reaper Clan has the ability to perform covert operations with its Orcs.  Near the remains of StormWind Keep during our retreat from Azeroth, we used mages and the remainder of the clerics to cast spells on Orcish raiding parties.  With the capture of these, we were further able to brainwash them and use them as one of our own.

We have two divisions within the Clan.  One is a group that is elite among the elite, the Executor Division.  Chimaera is its leader.

There is the Psycho Division, which is the Orcish/Human faction.  Its leader is Grim Reaper.  They are our primary force, carrying out day to day special operations.
