Ultimate Sea Defense
Orcs sometimes run into problems on water maps when dealing with
Mages, Invisible Mages, and Invisible Transports. There is one nice
formation you can set up that can easily defeat all of these as seen in
the below pictures. For this set up you need one direction facing the
enemy that is somewhat easy to wall, it can be large but it should be
about 2 screens or less wide.
Build Wall Along Shore a Few Feet Back
Build a wall a bit back from the sea so that it can only be hit by Battleships close to the shore. The wall has to be complete leaving no holes. Several walls can be placed along the shore so the the enemy cannot build large buildings such as Barracks, and to make pathing difficult. The walls will also prevent Invisible Mages from getting into the Town.
Build Towers Behind the Wall
The Towers should be placed behind the wall in such a location that it can reach ANY unit that lands on the shore but yet still cannot be hit by Battleships. You will probably want Guard Towers as they are cheaper and will also fire at Dragons and Flying Machines.
Death Knights and Ogre-Mages
Keep the Death Knights back and bring them up close enough to cast Death and Decay when the enemy lands. You don't want the enemy to be able to Polymorph them from the edge of the shore so use hit and run Death and Decay. Use Ogre-Mages to cast Runes around the Transport as it lands or around any units that unload from the Invisible Transport.
Recon
Place Flying Machines around to spot any incoming attacks.
Repair
Have Peasants or Peons on hand to repair any damaged Towers or walls.
Final Instructions
When the enemy lands, begin casting Death and Decay or Blizzard followed by Runes. If the enemy uses Blizzard, try as quickly as possible to kill the Mage using Death and Decay, Runes or even Catapults. Repair any damage. Make sure the walls are complete so no Invisible Mages can get in. The following setup was used to hold off the constant attacks of four highly skilled players and was eventually killed off enough enemy units which made it possible to win the game.
What are you doing to prevent cheating?
The development team is currently doing everything it can to eliminate the possibility of cheating. Because the game requires gamers to have a personal account to play, we are able to identify and track cheaters much more closely. When we have identified cheaters, we have taken aggressive action to suspend or ban their accounts. World of Warcraft has many features specifically designed to detect, identify, and prevent cheating and hacking in the game. We also have a dedicated team that actively monitors and scans the game for the use of cheats and exploits regularly. Creating an environment of fair play that is free of cheating is very important to us and we are constantly investigating ways to make the experience of our customers better and more secure. As we continue to find new methods of combating cheating, we will certainly pursue and implement them.
Since the game has a language filter, can we curse/swear as much as we want?
Even though there is a language filter, excessive, unsolicited, and inappropriate language is not tolerated. |
