The alternate human units are in ().
Last updated 5/1/96.

Peon (Peasant) This is the guy that gets all the work done. He builds all the buildings, mines gold and chops wood. They are very weak. A good way to defeat your enemy is to destroy his peons. Build lots of these.

Grunt (Footman)These guys are kinda of weak and are really only used early in the game or when your Ogre Mound/Stables are destroyed and you need defenses quick.

Troll Axethrower/Troll Berzerker (Elven Archer/Elven Ranger) These guys are good against just about anything at a distance. Good especially for flyers. The Troll Axethrowers can be upgraded to Troll Berzerkers. Once fully upgraded they do less damage then their human counterparts. But they can have Regeneration, which allows them to heal themselves over a time, no magic required. Don't let anyone get close to them because they are weak (run!).

Ogre/Ogre-Mage (Knight/Paldin) Fully upgraded to Ogre-Mage, these guys are powerful, this is your main land unit. When you upgrade to Ogre-Mages you have three spells, Bloodlust the most important. But, these guys are useless unless you upgrade them! I love the sound bloodlust makes, its so scary!

Goblin Sappers(Demolition Squad) I can't stress enough how powerful these guys are. They can't fight well against other units, but they can absolutely destroy buildings, trees, and rocks. I use these to take out towers, farms, and crappy gryphon aviaries. Use them to destroy anything in your way including other armies. Kamikaze armies that are attacking you! They can only be used once. I like these guy's voices.

Death Knight (Mage) This is your most powerful magician. He can learn 6 spells, the most powerful of which is the Death and Decay. This spell is VERY powerful, get it!

Skeletons They can be created by Death Knights from dead guys. These things are useless. They do 2-9 damage which isn't that much. 2 Ogres can kill 4 Skeletons easily so they are pretty useless.

Catapult (Ballista) This is your most powerful land unit, especially when fully upgraded. They are weak, and easily destroyed, so you must protect them. They do take a long time to make. Catapults are really not used too often in a game. They are really used against ships, towers, and occasionally against buildings.

SEA

Oil Tanker (Oil tanker) This ship builds your oil rig and hauls your oil. They have no defenses, so they must be protected. People usually don't attack them however.

Transport (Transport) You use this to transport your men across water. They have no offensive capabilities. 6 units can be fit in a transport

Giant Turtle (Submarine) These things suck, they are really weak, and they are only good early in the game when no one has a flyer to spot them. Or, when your sure your enemy has no flyers around, or towers. Don't waste your time! No one has ever won with subs. It's the combo of Juggernaughts and destroyers, powered up way that wins the game.

Troll Destroyer (Elven Destroyer) These ships are kinda weak compared to Jugs/battleships, but what makes them special is that they can shoot at flyers. Great for killing Gryphons or Dragons. Use them as escorts for Juggernaughts to protect them from air attacks. They are also good for killing transports.

Juggernaught (Battleship) These things look so cool. They're worth playing the orcs to get them. This is my favorite thing in the game. Its the first thing my enemies see in ship levels destroying their town. And they say "Heh, how did you get those so fast." This is your most powerful unit in the game, especially at level 5, It can take most anything on land or sea. However they can't shoot at flyers. And they are especially vulnerable to blizzards (mages spell) or death and decay(death knight spell). Make lots of them and upgrade them to level 5!!!!! But you have to upgrade them or they are useless.

AIR

Goblin Zeppelin (Flying Machine) You must have these! They have a huge area of sight. They are used to scout out your enemy. They can go anywhere. They protect your ships from subs. Use one above your ships to spot for subs. They can't shoot at anyone though. They are your early warning system for attackers. Use them!!!

Dragon (Gryphon) Here is what my enemies build when I destroy their shipyards with my Juggs. In my opinion, Dragons suck! They cost 2500 a piece, the most expensive thing in the game, they take forever to make, and they are vulnerable to Archers, Guard towers, Destroyers, Blizzards, and Mages. They take forever to shoot. They have no aim. They often hit your own guys! The only time they are good is when your sure no one can fire up at them. Don't waste your time!!
