I so cheated on this. Early on I followed the usual commands and had my monk convert that Smim Sawhtut early on. When I became allies, I switched him back to Neutral and then converted the two elephants at the beginning, then went to the left and converted the other two elephants and the three Condottiero. Afterward, I used all my troops to destroy the towers and gates in the city. From the right, I had the two elephants and one Karambit Warrior and left the area, then headed down and destroyed Sawhtut's town center and kill/convert the villagers, thus defeating him. The villagers, while they can't be used atm, can be saved for later.

From the left I headed down and found blue. It only had one villager and one ballista elephant. Lacking a mobile monk on that team, I instead killed both, I destroyed the towers and then the castle using the two elephants and condottiero. Since everyone lacks Murder Holes, all you need is to keep an eye on their health every once in a while as you destroy the buildings..

On the right, yellow appears a short distance away from red. Elephants are exellent tanks against the swarms of Karambit warriors, especially since this team has a healer to help. Destroy the towers and military buildings to defeat them.

Orange was the harder of the enemies since the castle has better view and range against attacks. Here I just start scouting everywhere and keep my troops from venturing too close. When you're ready, meet up with Bayinnung and start your bases. One in the area a bit ahead of Bayinnung, the other where Sawhtut's old Town Center was. The mass of water buffalos found around blue and red can be used to help drastically boost the base. Mass spend villagers on the abundant stone and gold you now have access to and just block the enemy with a bunch of castles.

Remember, allying with Orange means you give them a boost for a short period of time. If you ahve the stone, I suggest allying with them, then storming their base and building mass castles while throwing a bunch of infantry and trebuchets in to surround their rams and buildings. Then when they hit Imperial, just sit back and watch the fireworks.
