That's a pretty easy mission. Build lots of Peopns fast, and mine for
all your worth(and oil), very soon you should be able to build four
juggernauts, with which you can decimate the human navy (including
transports. From there build up your navy (eight juggernaughts and
four or five destroyers) and send them to the island to your right.
Destroy any and all catapults and towers, and sit offshore. From here
you can unload all the troops you want and march northwards -
destroying his troops as you go.
When you have taken the mainland use the navy to destroy the towers
and catapults on the island, and then land some troops.
