WRCFTHNT.TXT Created By: Blackhand (75453,3331@compuserve.com) WARNING!!! Before you read this file, I should warn you of it's power in the game of Warcraft. These cheat codes and hints will probably make you lose the excitement you feel when playing Warcraft. I personally recommend you to not use these cheats unless you are so desperately in need of help in this game that you NEED to use these codes. However, the game can also be MORE fun than before by using these codes. But, anyhow do what you wish. Scroll down to see game cheats and hints. GAME CHEAT CODES To enter the codes, go to a new game or saved game at any campaign Orcs or Humans. Hit the ENTER key. This would normally function as the Send Message key to send a message across an IPX network link game, modem game, or serial port direct link game. Here it is used to enter the codes. After you press ENTER you will see a prompt that says MSG:. Type one of the codes below and press ENTER again. The screen should say cheat enabled you wascilly wabbit. To disable a cheat type it again. The screen should say cheat disabled. Some cheats cannot be disabled though. Well here they are. POT OF GOLD-This cheat gives you 10000 gold and 5000 lumber each time you type it in. This cheat cannot be disabled. IRON FORGE-This cheat gives you all upgraded weapons, armor etc. except for magical abilities. This cheat cannot be disabled even though on the screen it says cheat disabled. SALLY SHEARS-This cheat reveals the entire map for you. This cheat can be disabled. EYE OF NEWT-This cheat gives you all of the magical abilities and extended magic like unlimited Rain of Fire. This cheat can be disabled. HURRY UP GUYS-This cheat makes your peons/peasants build your structures faster along with faster unit training and faster upgrading. This cheat can be disabled. The previous were the basic level cheat codes. There is also an extended level of cheat codes. To access these, you must type CORWIN OF AMBER at the MSG: prompt and press enter. Here are the extended cheat codes. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE-This cheat makes all of your men invincible against attack except against the Catapult. Your character will also be able to kill units in one hit. This cheat can be disabled. YOURS TRULY-This cheat takes you to the victory sequence of the level you are on. CRUSHING DEFEAT-This cheat takes you to the defeat sequence of the level you are on. IDES OF MARCH-This cheat takes you to the end of the game of the campaign you are on Orcs or Humans. HUMAN (level #)-This cheat takes you to a specified Human Campaign mission number. Replace (level #) with a number 1-12. ORC (level #)-This cheat takes you to a specified Orc Campaign mission number. Replace (level #) with a number 1-12. IMPORTANT!!! Don't just think that in a modem, network or direct link game that you can cheat against your friend. Yeah, these codes can be used but are valid for BOTH sides! So your friend will have the cheats on for him too! GAME STRATEGIES 1. Basically to win in this game without the cheats, you need one major thing, lots of Archers/Spearman. Surround your city with them and cover bridges with them. Also, have a catapult behind the Archers/Spearman to hit any backup units of the enemy. 2. If the enemy can use invisibility, the first thing to do is to build a wall and FAST! Those Clerics will be sending tons of Knights to storm your city in Orc Mission #9. By building a wall, the invisible units will be forced to attack the wall thereby making them visible. Then strike them to death! 3. If you are in the dungeon in a Custom Game, make sure you get magic users. In the custom game, you will have all the magical abilities already. Summon Daemons or Water Elementals to search the dungeon for you. You'll find they can't be beat! 4. When you can train Knights/Raiders, forget about Footmen/Grunts. The Footmen/Grunts are too slow and weak to be even close to being able to beat a Knight or Raider. Use Footmen/Grunts as a sort of sacrifice by sending them to find an enemy city by themselves. SPELL SUMMARY Human Cleric Spells 1. Healing-Probably the most important and most powerful spell, this spell heals your wounded units. 2. Far Seeing-An important spell in discovering the whereabouts of an enemy city by revealing a space on the map. 3. Invisibility-An awesome spell which makes one of your units invisible for awhile or until you attack. Great for sneaking past bridges into cities. Orc Necrolyte Spells 1. Raise Dead-A pathetic spell which turns dead soldiers into Skeletons. The Skeletons are slow and weak. Forget this spell! 2. Dark Vision-Same as Far Seeing. 3. Unholy Armor-An awesome spell which makes one of your units immortal for awhile. It takes some HP away from them though. Try this on a Catapult or Daemon! Human Conjurer Spells 1. Summon Scorpions-A good spell which summons Scorpions. These creatures are fast and good for attacking Peons. 2. Rain of Fire-A powerful spell which makes fire explode from the sky. 3. Summon Water Elemental-Summons the greatest creature in the game. These creatures kill in 1 or 2 hits. Orc Warlock Spells 1. Summon Spiders-A good spell which summons Spiders. These creatures are fast and good for attacking Peasants. 2. Cloud of Poison-A good spell which creates a purple poison cloud that damages those who stand in it. 3. Summon Daemon-Summons a creature great enough to match the Water Elemental. Kills usually in 1 hit. Well, there you have it. I would have put more strategies but I'm about ready to pass out after typing this all day. This text file is freeware.
