The Frozen Throne: Alliance, Chapter 5: Gates of the Abyss
This mission takes a lot of time. First, move all of your units to defend Illidan; they will be needed. Also, start training some peasants for lumber harvesting and even more units to defend Illidan. The Orcs won’t attack your base in the beginning.
I recommend destroying the Orc bases before attempting to close the portals, since you will need all of your population to defend them. Attack the bases in counter-clockwise order. This way, your allies will help you all the way. Try to coordinate your attacks with theirs. Don’t rely too much on them though; they’re more temporary meatshields than backup. Make good use of the Naga Myrmidions’ Ensnare. It can be used on the spell-immune dragons.
Only the last portal should be a problem, and therefore I recommend closing it before closing the others. After a while, Succubi will descend from the gate and Charm your units, turning them to their side. You must do everything you can to avoid this. Start with using the Rune of Shielding which can be found in the barrels close to Illidan’s position. When shielded, two Charms are required to convert a unit. Nuke them with Lady Vashj and Kael as much as you can, too.
At first it will seem like you have an excess of gold, but don’t spend it too easily. You will probably have to save it after the last Orc base has fallen in order to maintain your army while closing the gates.
The units that I chose where Spellbreakers, Priests and Naga Myrmidions for the gates. The Spellbreakers’ spell immunity is very handy, and the Myrmidions’ Ensnare is required for the nether dragons. Remember that you can also interrupt channeling spells with Ensnare. Use it on demons casting Rain of Fire. For the Orc bases, add a couple of turtles for siege.

If your having problems with defending illidan at the gates, just build a shitload of naga defensive towers, they’ll easily destroy everything coming out of the portals, while ur naga meleers are soaking up the damage.
