Also, I don't understand how the 'nimble' skill works. When I start out I've got a Gardener. He moves in between 2 of those archer-statues---his only possible move. They do not shoot at him or any subsequent Gardeners.
Yet when I move a Gardener in between statues in the upper NE corner of the map, he gets attacked.
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks

The Nimble ability lets you move through enemy units. (Flying also provides this effect.)
Units without nimble (or flying) have to walk around enemy units, which can make a huge difference. These blocking/screening tactics can easily turn the tide of the game by protecting units or important objectives.
As for why the Runners are hitting you, Runners have range 2-3, and cannot hit adjacent targets. So whenever you're up against runners, you want to try to move such that you're only 1 or at least 4 squares away from them all. On this map, there should be a sweet spot for you.
Also, if you're having problems beating the mission make sure you're using the best of the Cultivate ability by having a Gardener on each city (and gold mine). They'll pay for themselves in 4 turns, after which you turn a nice profit. Also, keep building Gardeners as fast as you can to take over the cities, but make sure you don't build more Gardeners than cities/mines on the map.
Hopefully that helps!
