IV. ASSAULT ON HILLSBRAD, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, Scene 4

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, released in 1995, is a landmark real-time strategy game that masterfully blends resource management with tactical warfare. It famously introduced naval combat, expanding gameplay beyond land-based skirmishes with its introduction of oil as a crucial resource for fueling fleets. The game’s rich narrative follows the escalating Second War between the human Alliance and the Orcish Horde. "IV. ASSAULT ON HILLSBRAD" stands as the impactful conclusion to the Orc campaign's first act. This mission thrusts players into the core of the game's unique mechanics, serving as a primary tutorial for naval transport and production. Players must establish a base, gather oil, construct a shipyard, and build a fleet to launch a brutal amphibious invasion of the human settlement of Hillsbrad. Success requires mastering sea control, clearing enemy naval forces, and then executing a combined-arms assault, using warships to soften defenses before ground troops land. The mission's objective is simple yet brutal: the complete annihilation of Hillsbrad, a devastating display of the Horde's newfound naval might and a grim foreshadowing of the war’s escalation.
