Hi,
I heard this one together with battle of Bataclavia is the toughest mission. Haven't done Bataclavia yet, but certainly this has been the toughest, followed by Support France.
This is how i cracked this:
1. this is a videogame. So it's not impossible, there are steps you need to take, upgrade gens and armies, princesses but eventually there is a theoretical 3-star solution. So let's examine the clues
a. why the big mean generals ignore you? probably you should limit frontal fights with them (which deplete your health)
b. why every city got a Princess? this is very unusual. there must be an use for it
c. why the 3 cities have different levels
d. why the huge army only leaves 1 infantry unit to guard the cities just conquered
e. why each city has a temple ?
Also we know that 2 reinforcement waves will appear on turn 6 (NE) and 12 (N).
So this is my strategy:
1. Place Maria in the City you begin with (25% discount on cavalry)
2. Create 3 Mameluk cavalry units for your 3 cavalry generals (if you have a 4th, lucky you). Mameluks regen 56 health units for every unit they destroy. Work out the enemies with your crappy other cavalry and then finish them with your gens to keep their health close to max (600)
3. Max all your knowledge budget for Forced March cards
4. Once you conquer one city, destroy stables and industry to deprive the AI from spamming new units (which they do).
5. Place Louise (increase damage on units in 2 grids within the city) in the NW city. Also you may try upgrade the city to Lv4 and spam grenadiers. I still couldn't hold it though.
6. Place Ariel (princess for infantry discount) on City 3 south. This will allow you (even when you just hold this city) to spam 1 elite infantry per round which is enough to hold
7. Follow the army attacking their rear end, conquering the N city which then i lose in a matter of turns; conquer the NW city and try to hold. Rush your generals with Forced March to the Southern city (it stays one turn still in allies hand but with no armies so you can just walk on it). Occupy, place your generals around it, place the arty behind and defended (also build 1 fort if you can afford it. I wasted my precious gold upgrading the NW city)
Here is the Video Guide
