Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness Hints

Gnomish Flying Machine

  • These units are your primary scouters.  You can explore the whole map with just a few, and set them in strategic positions to sight enemy advances.  You can easily retreat these units (unlike towers) and these units can fly right over rocks, water and trees.  They cannot attack anything, but the enemy will usually not engage them (they will attack if the flying machine comes within range).  Also useful for spotting beneath-the-ocean units, like Turtles.
