Set both beginning miners to pray and train 3 swords.
gather 50 mana and with the remaining 50 gold purchase rage.
Go Nuts. u should be able to kill plenty of miners if they dont get the castle archer out quickly in the beginning and even still that puts em down in army for a bit.
keep training swords or do whatever else u like.
preferably i go with a mix of swords and bolts so...
