Tranquil Getaway
Hiya! This mission has you take on 2 Abbots. The problem is that you are in the low ground and one is to your top right and the other to your bottom right. All of you start off with 2000 gold. If you wonder why I do not have any funny commentary it is because I am so happy that I am finally doing a mission that doesn't have Richard "Lionheart" Wingo Mcgravy Samuel Jordan included in any way.
This is a weird one. You have a good bit of resources available to you but at the same time you have very little space. Really for defense rule number 1, Do not defend on Fire Batistas... err Balistas as for whatever reason they do not auto attack Monks. Really for defense at first I would recommend European Archers, as they are cheaper (even if you buy bows) than the Arabian variety. That being said the Arabian ones are probably more desired since they shoot faster, meaning maybe later on you could consider using them.
Now for economy... whatever you want in the realm of Stone Iron and Farms really. If you do not care about glitches use the apple farm pause glitch retire unretire glitch. Really the challenge is defending your resources rather than deciding what to use.
Now I recommend keeping the abbots at bay. Get 1 Trebochet each to destroy his resources. There are under the hill angles that they can not destroy from above unless they send monks. First have the Trebochets destroy each's Cathedral (They will not enjoy it). Then destroy his resources to make his wallet hurt. Ibuki from Street Fighter has a nice Sporty outfit btw, people kept accusing me of posting pics of her in a Bikini while I had to prove it was actual women's running wear. Anyways this should stun their growth. Defend the trebochets with archers btw.
Really then you can use Horse Archers once the economy is crippled to further weaken for each abbot then send your Melee unit of choice. I love you all except for that one guy.
