Ive got 1270 leadership. Im down to 5 enemies on scarlet wind, one of whom is invincible, two are lethal and one is very strong. One more which is slightly weaker but im ignoring since it won't change my immediate situation.

The very strong one is guarding a map. Also it this is the only one with the possibility of winning, but its stacks are so huge

Could someone please give me some advice to help me for this early part of the game? any "dirty" tricks i could use to at least get me through this part of the game?
1. Do the tutorial at the start of the game. (It gives you loot and 1 level)
2. Buy GLORY skill for extra leadership
3. Be stingy with losses. Getting that first point of Strategy is a huge boost.

You may be a bit too late for any of these, and yes, your leadership is a bit low. I would recommend going to Bolo and getting any free pickups there. For the first 5 to 10 levels of the game, leadership is a really important thing to get. Look for any items or such that give bonus' to it.

Also, what army are you using? You should be able to take on a 'very strong' stack as a mage, but it might be hard depending on your items/units/skills.

Don't worry, lots of people have gotten a little stuck early on, before they really felt out the balancing of the game.
