DE makes all military buildings that are capturable now indestructible...

It's a tough map, mostly cause it's the laggiest map. Indestructible buildings probably caused it.

I just made sure to boom my economy first and research everything for paladins + cavalry archers. Then it was just a matter of controling the middle lake and all the buildings along it. Spam cavalry archers and paladins in each town and control the lake with galleons and cannon galleons. Then you attack teal. Paladins are tough as heck and cavalry archers make short work of enemy units. Just invade and crack the town open with your cannon galleons and then slowly destroy the town with rams and trebs. Take down the enemy castles and their king and win.

A few tough parts was keeping the towns. I barracaded the towns with castles using my gates and walls and made sure to always keep a small army in each. It's only the second scenario though, so it isn't that hard. Enemies do not send a lot at you and your ally is a great help (orange at least is).

Gold goes quickly since cavalry archers and paladins are expensive. Stone is only useful for towers and gates so don't be afraid to trade them away.

It is far easier and smarter to invade the towns with a small force and destroy enemy units before capturing it. Enemies do not stay inside the towns much so taking advantage of that to quickly take the town over is good for delaying enemy troop building. Within the first few minutes of the start I took over almost all the towns and barracaded them all in with walls while keeping a few units in each on stand ground.

The only map where enemy trebs are a laughing stock; towns are invincible so seeing those trebs and war galleys try to destroy buildings was fun. At the same time, don't bother seiging towns and only the main bases of your enemies.

Taking out Ottomons while they aren't actively attacking is a viable strategy. Just don't ally with Green until then and they won't ally with Teal.

I dunno what else to say. It's not hard but very bothersome with the lag.
