Warcraft III: Frozen Throne Playthrough - Terror of the Tides 5- Balancing the Scales

0:00 Intro & Cutscenes Finally, the messenger had reached safely to homeland and reinforcements are on the way. 2:10 Mission Start! A one of more difficult missions i played - for now. First i have to both carry Tyrande & Malfurion at Maievs base and guard 7:45 Sidequest As Malfurion mentioned, there are three ships with reinforcements, including one of two new units - Mountain Giants. 8:40 Maiev has fallen No matter, because when we reach the base ,Warden will be "mysteriously" revived. 13:05 Cutscene See - Maiev got revived. Tense cutscene, if you ask me and will carry dire consequences later in this campaign.Next step - clear that small Naga base in order to set up our own. And there is a difficult part of mission - trying to mount an offensive against a quite large Purple base, which is located on higher ground (that means Glaive Throwers will be less useful there). 27:35 Illidan shows up Another talk. 34:25 There they are Mountain Giants - pretty tanky stuff, better than Druids of the Claw in that regard. But speaking about Naga, i don't like two units - Couatls (really screws my day badly, even more with Abolish Magic) and Myrmidons, they're simply too tough. But not as much as Royal Guards - those "serpentine" fish-lovers, which moreover can be recruited, as any other unit (from Spawning Pool in this case). 48:30 Enemy Base There are two ways to shut down an enemy, both with exploiting fact AI can't rebuild lost buildings. One, destroy all production buildings or destroy all farms (which gives ONLY 15 food, not whopping 90). From this point there will be a LOT of trials and errors, with Chimeras and Hippogryph Riders trying to pick off a Coral Farms, then retreat to better positions. 1:53:50 Turning point Wait, did their Town Hall and Altar fused into one? Thankfully, it didn't. Soon, we will go into northern part of base. 2:05:40 Outro & Mission Results We're still going after Illidan. We're leaving Broken Isles for good.
