For me the hardest part of the game so far was roughly from battles 50-120. That part dragged on for a long time and I did a lot of island hopping to fight the weakest possible enemies. 120-250 has been much easier.
When I get cyclops' early I will actually run them forward before attacking to get them out in the thick of things. They actually have two very high quality special abilities. Push does massive damage for a unit of that leadership, and their stun ability is also a nice no retal ability.

Of course, an early dragon is much better. It would seem that booking it to Rusty Anchor, supplying the man there with pirates/robbers/marauders and then kiting for the green dragon should be about the most consistent way to get an early level 5er. (You will need 1900 leadership though).
