Has anybody figured out the approach for Cavalry and Cannons (mission 4) on Hard? It’s marked at two swords but it just seems insane.

I kind of understand the gimmick, but I don’t see how you can focus on any of the objectives because the other one ends up being problematic, and without having your supplies go to waste super quickly you’re stuck with the 100 pop which is pretty paltry.

On the plus side, tributing resources to your ally does have them pump out units pretty fast, so you can protect their base that way, but if you focus the top cities they get overrun. If you focus on offense on the bottom & right, you might be able to destroy everything but only with like 300 supplies left leaving no time for the cities.

The cities also seem to be annoying to capture. The description seems to imply you can just get rid of the defensive structures to capture it (assuming it’s translating correctly) but it seems random when it actually decides to capture. For the left-most city, it only captured after I destroyed the Monastery for some reason.
