Hi all-
Warcraft II is unbelievably cool.  I breezed through the first two
"acts", but am TOTALLY baffled how to take Tyr's island episode (you
must take the island, establish a fortress and ship harbor to win, but
you are surrounded by towers, ballistas, horsemen, etc on the other
side of the bay.)  I mine the two gold mines on the neighboring
island, but am decimated every time I try to take Tyr Island.  My
ogres are upgraded to mages, everything is maxed out, but I find it
impossible!  What obvious thing am I missing?  Are there more than 2
gold mines on the island?  Am I attacking too late (I think the humans
are fully staffed upon episode entrance)?  Should I attack the
mainland first?  I have tried 5 times and am ready to give up the
game.  HELP!
Starman
