WC3

Getting pissed.
In the "Twilight of the Gods" stage, Night Elf, mission 7, I'm down to the Night Elf base. I've got it fortified, I've got about 2 groups of archers and riders, with a smattering of casters with 13 minutes left on the clock. Human and Orc bases have been overrun to hell and back. I've got 3 mines under my controll, but I lose the far west one around 9 miuntes left.

About the 3 minute mark, I get overrun with a shitload of Infernals and Archimond. No matter what I do, how many towers I build, Moon Pools I create, ect, those damn things crush me within 30 seconds.. and it doesn't seem to matter how many things are between THEM and the GATE - I can't last the last farking 20 seconds to win the stage.

Any tips?

Towers on the human camp, mass farm the mine gold. Fortify at the orc camp, mass mine gold. watch for undead coming up through the treeline. Use ranged attacks on the named demons with a hero on tank duty. :D

you really have to micromanage your ranged attackers. I grouped them all into a single hotkey, and would use them to attack single targets in volleys. I could kill most undead zergers in 2-3 volleys with a good 2-3 melee class tanks. remember, your hero abilities work on all of your units, so keep them coming.

EDIT: you only have to SURVIVE the whole time. When worst comes to worst, uproot your night elf buildings and set them to attacking.

Been a while since I played but if I remember right i sent all my troops north to help defend the other settlements. It helped to delay them a bit and I finished the level pretty easily if I remember right.

Managed to beat it.
Ended up locking down the human base for about 15 minutes.. about 10 minutes longer than any previous attempt. Worked out.

You beat it just in time to buy the expansion ;)

It looks pretty darn good too. Blizzard expansions are always above average.

I still remember how much fun the WC2 expansion was. :)
