Another Orcish Assault
[WHU] The enemies will pretty much just bounce of Efraim and Lethalia, but recruit/recall some units to pick up some XP. Destroy three catapults, but do NOT attack the orc leader.
Search for Elves
[WHU] Recall at least a castle of units, lawful, illuminating, and healing. Follow the road north, using the river as defense to fight off the first waves of enemies, then kill the first leader. Move north, then northeast. Stop at each bridge and make your enemies fight you from the water, then advance to the next bridge. You don't need to kill all the leaders (unless you want to).
[WHU] There are a number of chests and other items scattered around the map, but the enemies are dangerous. When you find the friendly elves you may want to have a very fast unit race past them. There are a number of items at the end of the river, but you have to get past the elves without triggering the end of the scenario.
Corruption
[WHU] The enemies here a quite tough, and the new spell eater unit makes adjacent units nearly immune to arcane attacks. Recruit/recall heavily, including probably some fodder. Send one leader and a strong army northwest, while the other leads an army south. Keep some forces back to protect the elf leader. While you can use the allies as fodder, those that survive will join your recall list, so it may make sense to spend some extra gold recruiting human fodder to protect the elves. The southern enemy will probably go down first. Either way, once one enemy is defeated, start heading toward the northeast.
