I got crushed first round, I let the enemy get like 3 or 4 angels, baaaad plan.

IIRC I sent 1 raider, 1 dragon rider and 1 mystic south, the rest to the east, using the mystics to get the raiders onto the cities as fast as I could. When 1 raider wouldget hit I'd move it off the city and put a fresh unit on(the rider or ogre, I used the mystics to move the raiders up). The raiders are kinda expendable unless they are choking a city and unless you let evil get a lot of high power units out of the gate, they(the raider) should barely survive with 1 or 2 hp while on a city during evil's turn(also when you body block it account for the fact that the knights have an attack range of 2, thats what killed me first go round). use these half dead guys to poison, then put another thing on the city. If an angel shows up it must die before it can move.

The key is to choke every city you can while using the ogre and riders to kill things and using the mystics to get the guys onto the cities.
