Being able to lose the mission before I even get an objective is pretty shitty, especially since the Orcs are supposed to be abandoning the base anyway. I think somebody fell asleep at the wheel on this one 
Get past the first rush and build up your army while defending and towering some more.
=I didnt think the orcs were abandoning that base though?

Verily, dontauro doth proclaim:
before I even started taking the North path I got about 15 towers at the bottom entrance and the top entrance (yes, in Campaign Missions I'm a tower whore) and then I only left a few HHs there for extra support, then took the north path with Shamans (to Bloodlust), Grunts, Grom, and 2 Catapults.
Lok-Tar then! 
I did the same thing. After getting every unit wiped out by those damn Hippogryphs three times in a row on the previous mission, I surrounded every damn War Mill I made with towers; that'll learn ya, ya big chickens!
Towered up at the start, got Grom a squad of grunts, walked to the fountain

Owned it the first time
That's because you're a fucking demideity at Blizzard RTS games.

Sentow stopped staring at Deedlit long enough to write:
*shrug* One of the Orcs says, "We must fall back across the river!" which I thought was kinda odd, since the Nighties were on that side, but, ya know.
think that was one of the orcs that was "in a building" on the other side of the river. *shrug*
Keep Grom around while you set your peons up after the first big fight, windwalk + bladestorm packs of enemies, due to the map's nature "Swarm after swarm" I reccommend investing in Witchdoctors with Healing Ward to keep your guys in top shape
And alive
Get Grom 10 grunts and a catapult, and you can walk around through the path to the fountain, bring a witchdoctor or two aorund if you want, makes life easier
The map is essentially over once you get to the fountain
And the towers wouldn't have worked for me anyways, they built ballistas to destroy the towers I did make.
So I just built two squads of 6 or so headhunters and then they took out everything.

Willias had this to say about Pirotess:
Towers...
Damn I couldn't get them out fast enough, I just built up some troll headhunters and had grom kill all of the land units while the headhunters took out all of the flyers.And the towers wouldn't have worked for me anyways, they built ballistas to destroy the towers I did make.

thats why you have ground units to occupy their melee/ranged ground, while you take grom in to chop up the ballistas
