The enemy will attack with such ferocity you can't hope to save your outlying basesMain Quest: Crush and Destroy

  • Destroy the Green Undead Base
    Optional Quest: Acquire Gold Mine
  • Secure a Gold Mine and build a Town Hall
    You can do nothing but watch helplessly as your bases are destroyed at first. Train about five peasants to do work later. Every base will go except your starting position where Kael is located. Once everything is gone, the Naga will come to help. Leave Vashj, Kael and all the blood elves to defend your base while you send the Naga forces to the south to destroy an undead base. The Naga royal guard will come in handy, as it has several special abilities.

    When the area is secured, send the four of the five workers over to build a town hall and start gathering more gold. You could set up a pair of towers near the western bridge to hold off attacks. Otherwise, leave the armies where they stand for now so they can defend. When the woods near your north base thin, be sure to switch your lumber harvesters to to eastern side of the base so they can drop off at the lumber mill there.

    If you attack the undead base with authority, they won't stand a chance!Work on building an army. You will need an arcane sanctum, but not much else out of the single worker left at your base. Fill Kael's army with a diverse force with at least two priests. Push to the west and eliminate the creeps to get a claws of attack +6 and tome of intelligence. I recommend giving both to Vashj. If she gains a level, upgrading forked lightning is not a bad idea. This spell can really dish come damage, and will come in handy constantly when you are using her.

    The next step is to eliminate the green base once and for all. There is a shipyard near your base where you can purchase extra transports. Fill groups 1 and 2 with a diverse squad and have a fourth group (the naga are set in their own group) to defend your home base. Send everyone else in transports to the landing south of the green base. Have the naga focus on the guard at the entrance then work on getting spirit towers down. This will not be challenging at this point. Even if you fail you can send in reinforcements to finish the job.
