Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness Hints

Troll Axethrower

  • The Troll Axethrowers have some definite strengths, and some definite weaknesses.  The best thing about Axethrowers is that they throw axes (duh!) that can attack units on land, sea, and air.  A single-file line of about 6 to 9 Axethrowers makes a good defense, because they can usually kill enemies before they can even reach the Axethrower line.  They start off fairly weak, so make sure you upgrade them as soon as possible.  They have NO armor, so you should usually guard your Axethrowers with a couple of Ogres or Grunts.
