 Any advice on this scenario?    This one has me pulling my hair.
This is the one where you must wipe out all forces on the map.

After failing to win this scenario, I did the showpath cheat to see
what the Orcs were starting with.   They were starting with gold mines
totalling 250,000 pieces compared to my measly 50,000.  Furthermore,
_ALL_ necessary buildings were in place, not to mention something like
12-15 guard/cannon towers,  numerous Ogres, Daemons, etc. etc.

Basically, all the Orcs had to do was mine their gold as quickly as
possible to raise the levels of their forces.     I was able to wipe
out one clan and take their gold mine, but the other clan simply had
too much for me.     

So, any advice?

Aye laddie, persistence! (gotta love those Dwarves) I just did the level
yesterday (or more like 4am this morning)

There's an island to your right, very close, it is deserted and has a gold
mine. Harvest it. Upgrade all your technology to the max and wipe out the clan
in the NW corner. Gryphons are your friends but they need to be healed
frequently. 

Then, establish a beachhead on the southmost tip of the NE island, harvest
the gold mine there and start working your way up the island.

It was a fun level. From what I hear 14 is a bitch as well. (Even more)
