Don't dilly-dally when starting. Send your tarkans down south to visigoths and quickly take out their starter units. Meanwhile, build 2-3 town centers around the stockpiles of stone and gold. Then spam villagers and boom. Stone is quite nice to have as castles make short work of everyone but the visigoths, but you should be taking them out early.

For visigoths, take out their units with starter tarkans. Then send most of your tarkans to their town center and start taking it down. Many of their villagers will begin to garrison it so you can send 1 or 2 tarkans out to take down any wandering villagers and disrupt their attempts at a castle. They lose when most of their villagers are gone so you shouldn't waste time on military buildings. Ignore their infantry should any appear, tho you should be able to take down the TC faster than they field a resistance.

Visigoths are out which leaves you a crap-ton of room to breath. Focus on devouring the sheep, then farm. Woodline is behind you so very nice to have. Spam stone and gold when you can. Build a line of castles when you can to defend your base to the west. If you can spare, go up and build a few castles in your ally's town too. They aren't very effective, but they can blunt the Romans wave after wave. Just make sure you always have a few tarkans on hand to take down their trebuchets.

Castles up, then get to Imperial. Max out your tarkans and then send a large force to the Alans. They aren't very tough and don't have much buildings in the way (go huns) so dispatch their castle and town centers and villagers. Their arrows aren't damaging to your cavalry so sweep them out fast.

Romans have the largest and most dangerous army, but once it's gone their town is putty before Tarkans. Literally too OP. Send in wave after wave. Your res should be high enough to support an army of 80+ with continuous reinforcements. Especially since you took out Visigoths early and have access to their stockpiles of res. You can even go to the far west and take some more gold from the Franks. And if you are really lacking, go ahead and build a market in Visigoth's base and begin trading with the Franks.

Tips: If you don't take out Visigoths early, might as well restart. You DO NOT want to face waves of enemy on three fronts. Distracted by Visigoths and Alans you won't even notice your ally being destroyed by the Romans. Then you'll have Romans coming from the top too.

It's stupid how fast Visigoths can field infantry. Makes the Alans and Romans look like turtles.
