Rescuing Zuljin from human clutches. Orcs, trolls, ogres, demons, dragons... all fight the same side, but are actually differently signed, maybe that difference will be shown in WCIII, though. Since submarines can only aattack sea targets, ballistas and catapuls are quite a delicate touch for handling them. Your ships can quite effectively clean the coastal defences. After each victorious mission, you may see statistics of your allies, enemies, and yourself. Mages mop up the job with their Blizzard spell The game consists of both "WarCraft II" and the add-on on the same CD, which will automatically be installed. The dark portal, that's where all the hordes came from, and you must shut it down. After making out to enemy shore, good thing would be to build up your defenses before further attacking.
