Interesting. I read your post and tried it with 3 cpu opponents, and I beat it 
withing 15 minutes without any cheating. Though I saved several times, I never 
loaded. This level is so straight forward if you play it right.

Hint hint, don't ever let the thin wooded area be broken, not even a small 
gap. Build 3 towers at the 3 cornors facing the enemy will kill off anyone 
who's chopping trees. Once they can't get any more lumber. the cpu players 
will send waves and waves of peons to get lumber, and hence to be killed by 
your towers.  They will also send any army they already have to stand in front
of the wood barrier to feed your towers. Just take care of your peons and let 
them always leave some trees there when they are chopping. By the time you can 
not get ang lumber without breaking the tree barrier yourself, you are already 
rich enogh to build an army to wipe out all the 3 components, who have no army 
other than a couple of peons.

Of course at the beginning you have to build fast enough so that you can  get 
guard/cannon towers before their peons break the tree barrier. What I built 
were

1 town hall -> 1 farm -> 4 more peons -> 1  farm -> 4 more peons ->
lumber mill -> gurad tower -> blacksmith -> cannon tower -> cannon tower

Have fun.
