GAMEPLAY HINTS
Attacking animals Use the attack command (do not simply click on them) and your people will kill animals with one hit.
Animal kill Keep clicking the mouse over the animals and they will eventually explode. Please note: The explosion will not hurt anyone else.
Hear different unit phrases Select a unit four times. Select it again to hear a different phrase. This may be done on every ground unit, air unit, and heroes. Depending on type, four to seven different phrases may be heard.
Sword from Warcraft Build the human blacksmith and the highest upgrade sword from the original Warcraft will be there.
Funny hints When the dialog box tells you hints about the game, keep on clicking "Next Hint". It will soon tell you things such as "Wear your helmet when you ride a bicycle" or "Tell your friends to buy Warcraft II", etc.
Tons of gold At over 1,000,000 in gold, instead of displaying the amount of money you have the game will show "*tons*".
Instant Mana Use someone's magic, such as the Fireball, Holy Vision, Runes, or Death Coil, and press "Stop" immediately before they perform the spell. This requires precise timing. Note: It is easier to press S to stop faster.
