Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness Hints
Mission 3: Southshore
Mission Objectives:
- Build Shipyard
- Build 4 Oil Platforms
Scout the seas for Oil Platforms. Build a Lumber Mill (near trees as usual). You probably will not need a Barracks. Send your guys to the gold mine in the southwest and kill them. Kill any guys on the shore with your ships, too. Build a Shipyard near the Oil Patch to the south, and start oil production. You'll want to build two Tankers total. Now, scout for other Oil Patches (there should be two others) and build on them. Now, make a total of 5 Destroyers, and clear the waters. Destroy the Human Oil Platform that's to the south, and build a new one there. You won't need to upgrade anything or build land units, as you really don't have any Transports to move them anywhere.
