Works on Hardest as well. If you sail over to Pompey's base right away, your stone throwers can pick off the towers from a safe distance and your initial forces are enough to deal with his few soldiers at that point. Once they're dealt with, you can easily eliminate all his unit producing buildings.

The only thing that causes a minor problem are the two towers at the bridge in Afranius's territory, which will surely get you into contact with his army. Even then, though, your starting forces should be enough to at least stall them until the towers are down, especially if you bring a priest.
