Elf Guide
Harvest as much gold as possible and use it to buy upgrades for your Elven Worker. Always mine close to other players on your team, this will provide extra vision and make it harder for the opposing team to kill you.
Stay away from orc players and make sure to flee before you get zoned or surrounded. If you are separated from your team and isolated on the map you become an easy target.
Build a single Blocker in every small passage that lead into your mining location. If the blocker is correctly placed, this will prevent the orcs from using this path until the blocker is killed.
Passages with Natural Blockers are inaccessible to the enemy team and does not require a blocker in the early game. Use blockers to keep the orcs at bay, to buy time and to secure escape routes for your team.
The orcs earn gold when they deal damage to hostile units or structures. You can reduce the enemies economy by denying your own buildings (Attack them with your Elven Worker) before you escape. It is essential to deny high cost structures before the enemy get to them, because if the orcs earn too much gold they will snowball out of control.
To win the game you must construct a base that is strong enough to either repel or kill the orcs. A solid base will provide a safe zone that your team can escape to and use to advance their technology without interruption. It is recommended to build a base together with other players and defend it with a combined army.
If your Elven Worker is killed you lose all your units, structures and a percentage of your gold. The orcs also get the combined gold from all your belongings. You can revive in exchange for gold, but every time you die the cost and respawn time is increased.
Orc Guide
Move together with your team to surround bases and try to cut off all available escape routes. If you find an Elven Worker, try to either kill or injure them. If the worker manage to escape, inform your allies and chase them until your team can re-position for a kill. When you attack a worker that is moving, always move along with them until your attack cooldown reset and then hit again.
You earn gold when you deal damage to most units and structures. This gold can be used to research upgrades in the Altar and Morph buildings in the top left corner of the map.
Never attack a base alone unless your team is nearby and ready to assist you. When attacking a base you need to stick together, otherwise you are very likely to get trapped and killed by the enemy team. You can break into a base with brute force or starve your opponent to death by killing all Elven Workers on the map and deny their expansions.
If your orc is injured you can return to the Healing Ward in the center of the map to heal up. Right clicking the ward will instantly heal your orc if the ward has enough mana.
It is important to not body block injured team mates when they are attacking a base. Dead players can be resurrected for gold, but all gold spent on resurrection rather than upgrades will put your team further behind and make it more difficult to keep up with the elves.
