I found this level WAY too easy! There is a bug or something in the AI. If your defense against any particular attack type is decent, they won't even bother trying to attack you. On this level I was NEVER attacked by a Dragon! All I did was make sure that the 6 or so archers that you start out with didn't die. That was, I guess, enough of a deterent that they wouldn't send and dragon's after me. ALl I had to do was take out the cannon towers with the ships, land my guys at the same time (minus the archers), secure the SHORE, not take out the whole ogre base as that would destroy to many of my troops. Build town hall, barracks and farms quick. That gold mine at the south shore has plenty of cash in it to build enough to take out the ogres comfortably. While building this offense, place your remaining troops (which should be about 10) just above the mine. This will keep the ogres from sending anything. Meanwhile build up more troops, clobber the remaining ogres and their buildings and just start building up your offense. You can wipe out the other base with 2 or 3 well planned in and out attacks by the paladins. Ie; send 9 guys in, kill just a couple of baddies, pull out, heal, send them back in. Ships are almost useless. I built 2 battle ships and took out the whole navy. Built a couple of birds to get rid of the demons and then landed in force to wipe out the portal. The whole level took about 45 minutes....
