TIPS
1) Attack constenly to keep elites away from home
2) Be sure to have enough defense to protect yourself
3) Do not be afraid to attack anyone, Orc are the strongest offensive
race, if there near your NW, you can probably take them.
4) Do not start a full scale war, however, with a magic/thief heavy
province.

Save extra money and do fewer plunder attacks next time.
Train at a 0:2:1:1 offense/defense/elite/thief ratio.
Don't reseach, use learn attack.
Don't use much magic, just crystal ball, bloodlust, and protection sometimes.
Use thieves to spy and defend mostly.
Conduct Plunders till you can build everything, than some Traditional Marches till you have enough land, with a few learn attacks to keep the sciences high.
