Night Elves

Quick Chimeras

The purpose of this is to gain an army of 15 Chimaera's as quickly as possible without leaving yourself totally defenseless and sufficient leveling to (one) Hero, playing 2 vs 2.

This strategy is best used in 2 vs 2 with a partner that isn't a moron and doesn't mind going anti air. Chimaera's are all around great versus any kind of ground forces. Aslong as your partner can give you rush support at the beginning of the game, and anti air support at the climax of the game, I believe this is a great strategy. You want your partner as either Night Elf, Human, or Undead, using either Hippogryph's, Gyrocopters, or Gargoyles.

Use the general Night Elf start (and be quick):

Of the 5 Wisps;

Wisp #1 - Build Ancient of War. (Press B and then R)

Wisp #2 - Build Moon Well. (Press B and then M)

Other Wisps - Group select them all and right click on one tree. (They will all go to different trees accordingly).

Then, quickly select Tree of Life and train 2 more wisps by pressing "w" twice. (You actually need 3, but can't afford 3 yet.)

When the first wisp is finished being trained, build another Moon Well.

The second Wisp goes to lumber, but before he is finished being trained, build one more.

While the third Wisp is being trained, select the Priestess to be trained afterwards.

By the time the third Wisp is finished being trained, your Ancient of War should be complete, build a Hunter's Hall.

Your Hero will then be ready, position her near the Art of War, and upgrade your Tree of Life to Tree of Ages.

Position your Hero near the Art of War, and train 2 Huntresses when the Hunter's Hall is complete.

Just before your Tree of Ages is finished being upgraded, remove one wisp from lumbering, and position it in a place to build an Altar. When the Tree finishes, build the Altar.

At this point your Huntresses should be ready, kill the three creeps near your base, move them around slightly to avoid any suffering too much damage.

Build one more wisp, while the Altar is being built, this wisp will replace the other one that was previously on lumber. (*note - build 1-2 more wisps at this point for lumber if you feel it is nessecary).

Build more huntresses accordingly, do not over populate your army, for purposes of preserving money/wood and to keep your status as "no upkeep". At the same time, build two wisps for Gold Mines. Aim towards taking over two other gold mines (easy as Night Elf). While you are waiting for things to complete/etc, level up your hero, as Night Elf, you can cover a good portion of the map before your partner, or two enemies can. Try to get to atleast level 5.

Eventually you will have to build one more Moon Well, but just one. If you *have* to use more Moon Wells you will have a Low Upkeep, stick with No Upkeep

Build a few more wisps when you have enough money to support building a total of 5 Ancient of Wind's. (Building them will not affect your Upkeep as you will use them to make buildings!)

When the Altar completes, you have two options. If you have a sufficient amount of wood, upgrade your Tree of Ages to Tree of Eternity, and take two wisps off of lumber to build two Ancient of Wind's. If you don't have a sufficient amount of wood, train one wisp, and use it to build and Ancient of Wind and upgrade your Tree to Eternity.

At this point your Hero should be at a good level with 4-5 Huntresses in Aura. (Use Aura upgrade first and you should have taken over the two gold mines. One of the gold mines should be up and have the mine entangled before your Tree of Eternity is fully upgraded. Train a few wisps at this tree, and when the other tree completes train a few there aswell.

When the Tree of Eternity completes, build a Chimaera Roost at your first (closest) expansion. Your first expansion should be beside your partner's base, on the tactically faulted area for your enemy to attack, that way he won't go there by accident, grouping to attack your partner, yet it is still close enough to defend if needed.

Train two more wisps at each Tree of Life expansion (Your second one should be complete by now) and build two at your Tree of Eternity. Use all these wisps to build moon wells. This should give you the required 8 Moon Wells for 90 availible food units.

Train a few more Huntresses than required for further exploration (or your actual fight). Because at this point of the game either a. Someone will be attacking, or b. Someone will be almost ready to attack right before your strat is complete.

Pray. If you get a few Huntresses out before any attacking has occured you are almost set. Your Ancient's of Wind should be complete and you just have a lot of money. Position your Huntresses and Hero at the front of your base.

Build two Chimaera's at each Ancient of Wind (you shouldn't have enough money/wood for three) giving you 10 Chimaera's in queue.

By the time the first 5 are complete, or almost for sure by the time 10 are complete, your opponents should be attacking. This won't be a problem because as your Huntress's are holding them off, you will be building an additional 5 Chimaera's.

Let your Hero die if you want, if the enemy can break your lines, you will have 15 Chimaera's ready to own any kind of ground units he can throw at you, and your partner will hopefully not suck, and own any anti air your opponents have, with his anti air.
