Strategy

Hard difficulty: Relic N of where you start, go get it. Put archers in towers by water, and start building an economy. You will occasionally be attacked from either side, but the aggression is mostly over water. It's difficult to win water battles prior to the Imperial Age, so get there quickly.

Once you have the stone, a single castle slightly south of your docks along the water filled with 10-20 archers will be plenty to defend the S attacks, assuming you research Murder Holes and a few other blacksmith/university defensive upgrades. 

Once you are ready, the enemy base NE of you will crumble fairly easily with its palisade walls and weak defenses. Similarly with the bast to the far east of the map. The S base nearest your start won't be able to harm you through your castle for quite a while, so don't worry about that direction until you're able to get a few trebuchets. 

With all three of the weaker bases defeated, you should be ready to win. The enemy can be easily taken out from the sea with a strong navy - their castle and towers will quickly crumble to cannon galleons, and once you've wiped their main navy you should be able to destroy their docks before they can fully rebuild, giving you the water superiority. 

Regardless, once you have taken out the small base N of your start, and the small base in the far E, the enemy will be hamstrung and it's only a matter of time.
