Basic Warcraft 2 Tactics

If you have one or more Peasants/Peons repair a building under construction, it will be completed faster
Casting Invisibility on transports can be quite deadly. Be sure not to unload all your troops at once though, it will make the ship visible. Unload the troops one at a time and the ship will remain visible
If you are being attacked by a clump of units, cast Flame Shield on the center unit. It will cause a great amout of damage, as well as stop the attack, because the player now has to move the units away from the burning unit
Building towers in an opponents city will cause great chaos. Cast Invisibility on the Peasant, and have them walk into the enemies base and build a tower where ever you would like to
Exorcism damages both Skeletons and Death Knights
Cast Runes on the ground between a Gold Mine and the enemies Town Hall
Catapults have a slightly greater range than Towers
Have flying units accompany your Battleships and Destroyers to spot Submarines/Giant Turtles
Cannon Towers will generally miss a moving target, so to get the first shot off against a Cannon Tower, have your unit be moving, when the Tower fires, stop and fire the first shot
During a siege, go for the enemy farms, that way they can't produce more units
Do not group select Bombers and Sappers. They will end up destroying each other
Keep your Dragons/Gryphons spaced apart or else they will end up hitting themselves
Move a Sub/Turtle under an untapped oil patch. The enemy will not be able to take it, and when they come for it, they will be in for a surprize!
When playing with another player as an ally, put a Grunt/Footman in their city or cities. That way if they turn against you, you will have early warning
Cast Slow on Bomber squads. This will give you time to kill them before they reach you
