A Few Useful Halo Wars Tricks

The skulls provide a few ueful in-game effects, but a player may need an extra edge to get through the tough portions of the game. One of the most difficult enemies to beat is the Super Scarab. Start by destroying all the power nodes on the vehicle. Next, Send Sergeant Forge as close as possible to its head. Send a few units that can revive the sergeant along with him. The scarab will focus on killing Forge. Use your other units to destroy the scarab.

Players may face instant defeat in the scarab mission. If the vehicle has nothing to attack, it attacks the base of your gates. Train a few medic units and send a party of marines out to defeat the garrisoned tower near the front of your base. Send the medics and marines into the tower until you can use the Sergeant Forge trick to defeat the Scarab

When you defeat Halo Wars, throw a party and try Dawn of War for the PC.
