Re: Man against Atlantis
If you're having trouble affording the castle, put a bunch of troops on the province and raise the taxes, you can just do it with your capital too. It kills off some population, but nets you an excellent surplus. Use that to castle the coast. Really you just need enough to move to defend, so you might or should be able to leave 2 spaces in between provinces. Then just build/station troops at the castle. 2 castles should be able to get 6 provinces protection. And don't forget to use the PD to augment your defensive capacity.
If you can afford labs, you can put mages in those provinces with some air evos, that pretty much take care of most thugs and many SCs.
If he's not that advanced just use slingers and consider a double tax for those provinces, so you can buy infrastucture... In masses they'll take out regular heavy infantry type armor (protection 13), but they're not very effective at all at 17 or so.
