For this one, I first built up my defenses.  This consisted of cannon
towers at each approach to my village.  At one approach that was
attacked frequently I placed an extra supporting guard tower.
Backing up each tower was a ballista and 4 archers.  Finally,
a few knights were available to protect the archers and
join the defense for really large attacks.

For attacks, I would send out a party of two ballistas with
several archers and paladins.  Take it slow and easy when
you attack so your troops aren't uselessly eaten up by orc
towers.  I went north first because my helicopter reported
it to be the weakest and they had a gold mine I needed to
take over.  As soon as the northern orc troops were taken
care of, I sent in peasants to build a new town hall and
guard towers and another barracks.  By the time this town
can defend itself, you should be able to wipe out the town
to the southwest.  After mopping that up, send in a two
pronged attacked to the northwest.

Hope this helps,
Dan
