I like this map. It was fun. Didn't even need to trade since there are an abundance of resources so long as you make your regular push through..

A good rush army? A group of petards for gates and towers (the small bases). Covering them is either elephants or rams or both. For the big cities, you may need several waves, but basically the same setup. Rams soak up castle-fire and take them down quickly, while elephants take advantage of the crowded buildings to rush any few troops.

Castles are your best bet here. Scout around and locate the best places to place your castles. Put around 5 knights in the most heavily attacked areas to counter any rams.

In the beginning, you can quickly take down the small base north of your military camp, and the two bases at the center. All you need is some distracting units (light cavalry are quick and can attract enemy units), and a good number of petards. Destroy the towers in each small city and you'll quickly disable your enemies.

Monks are particularly annoying against your elephants, so light cavalry are really the most efficient solution. That or a castle wherever they are.

Stone and gold are in abundance. So is wood. Food is probably gonna hinder you greatly at the start, and the rivers and lakes are frequented by annoying enemy ships.
