The Frozen Throne: Scourge, Chapter 6: A New Power in Lordaeron

You start off with two bases, Sylvanas’s and Varimathras’s in the upper left and Garithos’s in the lower right. As usual when you have to defend several fronts, lower the speed to slow from the start. The key here is taking the map on systematically. Gold is abundant, and thus you will not be in a hurry to expand.

Start by setting up a solid defense in both bases, and sending your Shades to strategical locations close to both the orange and the purple bases, so that you can anticipate their attacks and prepare specifically for them.

The optional quest to save the dwarves is a given. It is very easy to complete, and their siege tanks are an invaluable asset. Start by upgrading your Keep to a Castle, training some Footmen and upgrading as much as you can. After fighting back the first wave, which seems to come from the Green base every time, send Garithos and his units to the north to rescue the dwarves. You will need to do this quickly, since you will soon be attacked by flyers.

Next, build five Siege Engines and as many Knights as you have population for. Send Garithos and his army to the west, in order to secure another gold mine and get one threat off your back. Keep healing your troops and micromanaging the Siege Tanks, and you will have no problems leveling the base. In the worst case, you will have to retreat when your tanks have been destroyed, and attack again with more tanks. Tanks solve everything.

With the Green base out of the game, you can probably defeat Balnazzar’s base already. However, if you want to be on the safe side, get Sylvanas and an army of Banshees walking/hovering southwards. I never attacked the Orange base, but I figure that it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, as long as you make sure that you have time to return before Balnazzar has destroyed your base.

When time comes for the last assault on Balnazzar, start by attacking on Sylvanas’s side. Possess everything that you want. After a ten seconds or so, most of the defending units should have moved to the north-western part of the base in order to fight Sylvanas back. Don’t worry if you’re outnumbered, since this is only a decoy. Enter Garithos and a lot of Kights and Siege Tanks. The tanks will make a short story of any buildings, while the knights’ armor along with Lord Garithos’s Devotion aura make your army nearly impervious. Keep silencing and putting enemies asleep with Sylvanas and Varimathras, while maintaining a steady supply of new units. Once you start destroying the unit-producing buildings, the Dread Lord will stand no chance.
