   Frozen Throne- Undead Strategy
Hey I'm dedicating this part to Undead strategy on Frozen Throne, so if you don't play as the Scourge or if you don't play FT at all, don't read this.

...

The Undead Scourge is notable for its surprisingly economic units. Although there are more expensive units (i.e. Frost Wyrms, Abominations, etc.), the truly useful units are very inexpensive. Especially effective is their anti-air unit capability.

Rush- Everyone's favorite Undead rush unit is the Crypt fiend. Despite its 215 gold and 40 lumber cost, it is a very useful unit, since for a 1st tier unit, it has a very high attack power and defensive power. As the game progresses, it becomes easier and easier to mass them. Prized by teams in online gameplay (especially against Night Elves =D)are the Web and Burrow techniques. Web is an autocast and is considerably more effective then the Raider's Ensnare ability. it can be used much more quickly, however is only used against flying units. Burrow is a Harrassing player's dream. The Undead equivalent of the Night Elves' Shadowmeld ability, burrow needs to be researched, but is definitely worth it. At the same time of hiding the Crypt Fiend, it also increases hit point recovery rate.

Siege/Counter- However effective an attack unit the Crypt Fiend might be, the best unit in the arsenal of the Undead Army is surprisingly a caster unit- the Necromancer. Aside from the obvious advantage of the "Raise Dead" ability, the one thing disregarded is the toher abilities he posesses- Unholy Frenzy and Cripple. Perhaps the best killing combo, I discovered a glich in the programming- Unholy Frenzy can be used against enemies! Its original use is to drastically increase attack speed, but at the same time horribly harming the target of the effect. Cripple drastically decreases attack rate, movement and attack power. It is a negative buff (no duh). Using Unholy Frenzy to constantly decrease hit points while deleting the positive effect with cripple, it proves very useful against heroes. using meat wagons with exume corpses also provides a healthy corpse supply for Necromancers (and death knights) to use.

Thanks for listening!
