Warcraft II Strategy: Basic Overview

Have you been wondering how to get the highest score possible in a given scenario? Hopefully this rundown on the scoring systems in Warcraft II will prove useful to you.

Warcraft II uses a streamlined scoring system that reduces the chances of one player "padding" their score in a large multiplayer game. The key to achieving a high score is simply to cause as much damage as possible. Your total point score is based on the number and type of enemy units that you kill. Points gained from killing specific units are as follows:
