Warcraft III: Frozen Throne Playthrough - Curse of the Blood Elves 2 - A Dark Covenant (Normal)

0:00 Intro & Cutscenes Clearly, High Marshal wants Kael'Thas and his kin to die. And, you know Emissary where you can shove such an advice. "Be creative"....bah! I tried several times to play this on Hard, but it showed me my place in the line, every time. So i took this on Normal, after this i will switch back to Hard. 1:05 Mission Start! First thing - evacuate all units toward the respective corners of map, the expansions are lost cause for now. Note: This mission take place almost on the same map minus ruined city part. 4:20 Cutscene Good thing Lady Vashj grant limited reinforcement - including Royal Guard (which i lose, of course in most stupid way possible). 5:20 Proper Mission Start! Units got "teleported", good. Got sidequest, besides there was none on Questlog. Anyway, time to wipe out enemy minor bases on both sides. Note: if i could have such "professionals" as a proper Peasants, but on other hand i could not have a few "Monty Python & Holy Grail" references. 8:10 Small Purple Base gone Kael is really smart guy, hiding a "Tiny Castle" and 2*200 gold powerup inside crated in each small bases. 12:25 Small Orange Base gone Time to search whole map for all treasures (by killing all creeps, including hidden Ancient Hydra) with dozen of Dragon Hawks. 14:30 Got attacked You see that difference in attack strengths between Normal and Hard difficulty level is just brutal! I tried few times, but i got overwhelmed. If not by aerial assault, then by land units from Sky Barges (even tried to shoot them down, by Green was smart and sent Gargoyles & Wyrms to take care of Dragon Hawks). 29:30 Big Orange Base Gone Purple enemy is mostly harmless. If i only got some siege stuff, but no Garithos had to take all away. That's why destroying Green base took that long. 50:34 Outro & Mission Results Enemy got destroyed, but Kael'Thas will be executed for "treason" (i wonder how many allies had been screwed over, due to such pettiness). It is a wonder how that Alliance (or a remnants) is still holding....
