You have 3,000 gold and face 5 enemy lords with 40,000, Caliph ("The Scorpion"), the Snake (Duc Beauregard), the Rat (Duc de Puce), Sultan Abdul; and the Pig (Duc Truffe). This is a free-for-all with everyone out for themselves, no alliances. You're situated in the west with enemies close on the north and south. To the east is a central oasis to be shared by all. There's a small grove of trees to the west, and iron and stone deposits close on the north and south. Your starting gold is plenty to face these lightweights who will focus much of their efforts squabbling amongst themselves. Your biggest threat is in the startup phase where you're under attack on different fronts very quickly, and are in close proximity to the Snake to the north and Caliph in the south. Caliph must be neutralized fast. Snake is a minor annoyance. Caliph will immediately set up lookout towers with Arabian archers that are close enough to do serious snipping damage in much of your compound. He must be neutralized quickly. The Snake will harass you quickly with lightweight troops and catapults. While I plant wheat and hops early, many will be burned out and need to be replaced, therefore wheat production will be slower than usual.
