This mission is an offshoot of your choice in the fourth mission (Destroy the Humans). Your main objective is to defeat several opponents so, there is nothing unintelligible in the mission's premises - a simple deathmatch. At the beginning, it would be good to extend your dominion by the nearby cities, to the South and to the East of the starting location. Then, go deeper into the map, where you will encounter the first opponent.
Defeat Colm
You will encounter Colm close to the starting point, when you go to the East. It would be good to capture his city and then go a bit further, to the South-East, where you will find his Throne City, after you cross the bridge. Capturing it fast, eliminates the first opponent from further game.
Defeat Sulthor
Sulthor and his cities can be found in the Northern portion of the ma, more or less in the middle. When you send there your armies, at the very beginning, you will, most probably, encounter weakly-defended lands, thanks to which you will be able to capture his Throne City easily and defeat him in battle. This will allow you to eliminate this opponent quickly - when, at the same time, you attack Colm, you will defeat both opponents at the very beginning which, later in the game, will make winning this scenario much easier.
Defeat Svengir
After you have defeated the first two opponents, command your armies ahead, to the East of the map. On the surface, you will find Svengir's Throne City, which you need to capture. If he is not around, then you will, most probably, find him in the undergrounds. The entrance is close to one of Drugal's cities. Capture Svengir's Throne City, and descend into the underground, where you will encounter the next opponent.
Defeat Drugal
You can find the cities that belong to the last opponents both on the surface and in the undergrounds. The Throne City itself is located under the ground, in the corner of the map(the South-Eastern corner). Defeating this opponent may be more difficult, due to his class and his combat machines, which is why you should remember about taking an appropriate number of units, for the final showdown.
Find the teleporter
You can find the teleporter in the undergrounds, close to the cities that used to belong to dwarves. You can gain access with units that can cross Dirt Cavern Walls e.g. Dwarf Firstborns. Entering the field with the teleporter will end this mission (after you have defeated the opponents, of course).
Hints
1. At the very beginning, secure the cities to the South and to the West of the starting point. They are located away from the spots where you fight the final battles, which is why they will serve as your economic base, and, in case you need that, they will be able to produce new units.
2. Slit your armies (or command them quickly from one point to another), which will allow you to defeat, quickly, both Colm and Sulthor. Thanks to this, after several turns, you should be able to eliminate both of the opponents from further game, without allowing them to gather larger armies.
3. Follow the river to the North-east of the map, where you will find the teleporter. After you enter, you will be teleported to the undergrounds, where there will be allied units waiting for you. After a while, there will be even more of them. They will come in handy, on the way to the South and during the fight with Dwarves.
4. Do not attack Awanessa - she is neutral and she will not bother you. If you attack and defeat her, in the nearby Dwelling, there will start units to spawn, which will be hostile towards you and the fight with them is not that easy. It is cumbersome, first of all.
