The Frozen Throne: Scourge, Chapter 3: The Dark Lady

As Lady Sylvanas, you are only able to build Acolytes, Ghouls, Banshees and Meat Wagons. However, those Banshees are upgraded to Master level from the start, which means that you can Possess as much as you want to. You should get all of your firepower from this: Abominations and Crypt Fiends along with Ogres and Bandits.

There is a lot of neutral units to possess in this map. I recommend first going to the gnolls in the West, who also happen to guard a gold mine. Possessing the leader will net you a nice aura as long as you can keep him alive. The gold mine is free to use; it will never be attacked.

Next, attack the ogres in the nort-west. After the stone barricade, Possess the leader immediately to minimise losses. The ogres are great meat shields, and you can replace them with more units from the mercenary shops. Try not to lose the leader, since his aura is useful. Keep a couple of Banshees in your base while doing this in order to impede potential invasions long enough for you to come back with your squad of Ogres.

Now, it’s time to set up an adequate defense. The best place to defend against Varimathras at is just north of your base, between the hill with trees and the river. Place your melee units in that pass, and at least five Meat Wagons on the hill. This will make sure that not even the invasions supported by Meat Wagons will be able to cause damage, since you will shoot their wagons with yours. The purple attacks from the East are never strong enough to be a significant threat. A couple of melee units in front of Nerubian towers and meat wagons will suffice.

Next comes the purple base. Make sure that you have a lot of Banshees and Meat Wagons. If you manage to Possess or kill most their units, your wagons will have a free way to destroy the towers and unit-producing buildings. Make sure that Sylvanas buys a Scroll of Town Portal before every assault, so that she can take the army back quickly in case of an invasion from a certain Dread Lord. After the purple base has fallen, the gold mine is all yours.

You can take on the bandits if you want to. Their units will bolster your army nicely, and after acquiring their leader, you will likely be able to take on the red base without any pause.
