Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos (Hard) - Orc Campaign - Chapter 05: The Hunter of Shadows
3Time to kill a demi-god.
Immediately start by getting Peons out at your other bases, and expanding NE of your SE base. Leave the western bases to get destroyed - which they will after a few minutes. Focus on towers. A lot of them.
Attacks from the NW I tend to defend with units to start with, and the SW primarily with Towers. Get a few Barracks out in the SE and get some upgrades for your units. Most of the units will prove useless for the end of the level, but a group of Headhunters to accompany Grom at the start will help a lot. Carve a path to the N with some Catapults and take out the Furbolgs first. Add a Witch Doctor with Healing Wards to speed up the process as well.
Leave a few units behind your Towers in case a Ballista is seen with what is usually an Archer/Dryad attack force, make sure to be quick on repairs as well.
The satyrs are kind of annoying with Mana Burn. Try not to sacrifice With Doctor MP, as their Healing Wards are probably more useful than Grom's abilities to be honest.
Eventually you'll reach the waters with Mannoroth's blood and Grom will drink from it, despite warnings against doing so. In this patch version, Grom now finally gets an Inventory, so can pick up some of the loot from the creeps.
Grom and a few other units now deal Chaos damage which allows you to kill Cenarius, and has the added benefit of being effective against every armour type. There's some merit to using the Warlocks, but mass Grunts with a few Catapults for quicker building destruction will do.
Attack the Southern base, but treat any Headhunter as expendible. If they survive past destroying the base use them to draw Cenarius' fire in the retaliatory attack he does.
He should fall easily to a group of Grunts and Grom if there's something to draw Cenarius' fire away initially. I actually went overboard on production structures, because I was expecting a more delayed attack and for Cenarius to be tougher.
Mannoroth turns up to congratulate you, and to bring the Orcs back into the fold of the Legion. Grom acts as if he's free, but Mannoroth's power will be revealed later.
