Empires & Dungeons Strategy Tips Needed
So I'm playing Empires & Dungeons on EASY difficulty, and it's still taken me four tries to win the "Cauldrons of Blood" scenario. Four lords at once is pretty challenging. So far my best strategies (tactics) tend to rely heavily on luck:

#1 - Hit the closest town (the one to the south) immediately and capture it.

#2 - Hit dungeons early and often to build up levels & money for troops.

#3 - Burn the eastern city when possible to deny the eastern lord access to easy cash. That way I only have to worry about defending one city.

#4 - Avoid engaging the enemy lords until level 7 or 8, when money is very plentiful.

I don't really bother hiring the "cheap" troops in that scenario unless I happen to be a square away, or if I really want to deny an enemy lord access to it. If I can't find dungeons fast enough before the enemy lords get their keeps and can push into my territory, I'm pretty much screwed.

Anybody got any good strategy advice for this game?
