Build defense buildings and continue doing so until all three home provinces have max buildings.Sack the city on Imrik and then wait until the start of next turn to pop the xp rite when its available (assuming you have not had three fights yet).March the new lord (+hero when you can get one at turn 12) behind Imrik to rally up for shared XP.Move all the way into the enemy territory on a march.Recruit to 14 guys (later Hero will fill out the last spot and 3 spears 1 archers and one regiment of renown archer brought up by other lord if he can in one turn with the skill from lightning strike tree).Recruit another lord at the last dwarf base you just took (option, check financials on this (~6 or 7 turns of xp sacking for $3,500 but later recruits nearer dragon fight can save more per turn until then).Do not take any of the gold buildings past level 1 for the start. Build two gold buildings one at each settlement.Imrik does not actually need the dragons as badly as the doughnut but will if he has to face down Grimgor mega stacks. Dragon/Army buffs can come later to max out your doom stack. Imrik skill towards sweet personal buffs (2 influence per turn one ASAP).

Upgrade second settlement for 450 gold dragon building (not main one).Destroy both small buildings for 100 gold.
