Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness Hints
Catapult
The Catapult is a must for any defensive AND offensive group. In a defensive line, a Catapult will fire at the first enemy it sees, and will usually over-shoot it. BUT, the blast will hit the area right after the first enemy, killing anything there. If the enemy sends a bunch of their troops, that one blast can usually take out one or two of them. Plus, an enemy Archer will stop about 4 or 5 units away from your defensive line, so you can position a catapult so that as soon as the archer stops, the Catapult will fire and incinerate the archer. On offense, a Catapult can easily kill a tower without getting hurt itself. But beware, the range of a Catapult is only 1 more unit than the range of a tower, so if you have anything in front of the Catapult, it will get killed. The minimum range of a Catapult is 3, so make sure you guard them well because if an enemy is within 2 units of the catapult, you will not be able to hit him. Always guard a Catapult with at least a Troll, and an Ogre if you can.
