After your cutscene, you will have five acolytes at your disposal. You will also be given an additional two Ghouls making seven if none of them died fighting the first Paladin. Start your base building by Haunting the Gold Mine and building a Necropolis then build a Crypt once you have blight to summon on then start building about 8 Ziggurats at the north end of the base for defense tower upgrades later. once these buildings are done start summoning a Graveyard near the trees for fast drop off for your Ghouls. upgrade your Ghouls' offensive and defensive abilities by researching Unholy Strength and Unholy Armor from the Graveyard when you have the Gold.

While you are training Arthas and building your base the humans will send 3 Footmen around every 5 or 6 minuets this is where your Spirit Towers come into play if you have built the Ziggurats near the northern edge of your base. You can upgrade these into Spirit Towers and have them deal with the Footmen but be sure to group them together and it's a good idea to build them around your Necropolis because when you upgrade it to the Halls Of The Dead it has a ranged attack to add to the Spirit Towers defense


If you wish, you can head to the bottom of your screen and fight a Rock Golem while you are waiting for your base to finish. Regardless of when you fight him, make sure you have Arthas with you as well as seven Ghouls, or you may have a hard time beating him. Head towards the bottom of your screen and you well see a second Rock Golem. When fighting your second Golem, be careful not to have any of your units go to far to the right until everyone has healed and you have some back up, because there is a level nine Granite Golem over there. When the Granite Golem is beaten, it drops a pendant of Mana which gives Arthas an extra 150 Mana points and will also probably level him up to level three.

If you are running short on resources you can have all your units wait in the base and wait while your Acolytes and Ghouls chop wood and mine gold while letting your Spirit Towers kill the Footmen that the navy blue base sends at you every 5 or 6 minuets but don't forget to repair the towers if they take damage.

For the first Paladin, you should only need two full groups of units, including Arthas, made of ghouls. Make sure you heal your Ghouls whenever they need it with Arthas' Death Coil. After killing the first Paladin, he will drop a Potion Of Greater Healing. Move to the left of your screen and destroy the rest of the turquoise buildings with your Meat Wagons.  
For the first Paladin you should only need two full groups of units, including Arthas, made of Ghouls. Make sure you heal your Ghouls whenever they need it with Arthas' Death Coil. I suggest that you leave the 5 villagers alone and do not attack them. if you wish to fight them it would be best to wait until you have killed the first Paladin. The Paladin is further in towards the back of the town from the villagers with a single footman. The best way to kill the Paladin is to have all of your Ghouls attack him at the same time. After killing the first Paladin, he will drop a Potion Of Greater Healing. Move to the left of your screen and destroy the rest of the turquoise buildings with your Meat Wagons.

The next Paladin you have to face will be a level five so just send all of your units in to attack and you should be able to overwhelm his small force.  
On your way to the next Paladin there is a knight patrolling between the buildings.  The next Paladin you have to face will be a level five so just send all of your units in to attack and you should be able to overwhelm his small force.
