This one came out pretty awkward. Also, I thought why not do a surgical approach in clearing this mission instead of swamping them with Ogre-Mages.

[MISSION X: THE DESTRUCTION OF STRATHOLME]
- Destroy all Oil Platforms
- Destroy Refineries
- Destroy Stratholme
New Units Introduced: Goblin Sappers
The mission objective here is basically destroy all enemies in the map. There's only one enemy force and it's blue who's controlling all of Stratholme in the northwest and northern parts of the map.
You start off with a decently-sized force of Ogres, Trolls, Grunts, Peons, a Catapult and four Goblin Sappers. Demolish the rock walls with two of your Goblin Sappers so that your forces can move into the area with the Gold Mine to your east. It has a few enemy Footmen, dispose them.
Build a Great Hall and two farms. Ideally you would want to cut some lumber to make the Great Hall closer to the gold mine. Build-up your economy and take on the enemies in the rock wall. You can use the trees in the northeast part of the map for more lumber as your starting area has too little of wood. There's also a gold expansion in the middle of the map, take it when you can.
My surgical approach in this mission is using Catapults and Goblin Sappers. I created a small entry point in the enemy's base where I can sneak in Goblin Sappers to demolish key structures of the enemy base. I'd start with the Mage Tower as it is the most troublesome of the human structures. The next targets after that are the Barracks to cut off their unit production. Once that's dealt with, I can just whittle away their defenders by luring them to my defenses. Once Stratholme is defenseless, I can use any combination of units to destroy it - in this case, I went with Catapults for immediate power against buildings.
With Stratholme in ruins, controlling the seas is next. Build a shipyard near your starting area. Get some tankers and gather oil. Build a refinery and a foundry once you have the resources for it. Get a flotilla of at least nine Juggernauts; with a few Destroyers. The Juggernauts will deal with the enemy's destroyers and battleships and their structures. Your destroyers will be handy in chasing down oil tankers that are trying to escape.
Once there's no more enemy presence, this mission ends in a victory.
