Engineers are found behind the second island and at first you don't have enough leadership for them. I begin with three shooters, bowmen, priests and inquisitors. I fill the two last slots with any units that I get only one and that are big enough to survive melee at the first stages of the game. After that I avoid melee units and take shooters and units that produce other units whenever I can: engineers of course, Royal Thorns (they are always available), Royal Griffins, Druids and Demonologists. With them and spells I create a barrier to protect my regular units. Don't forget to develop rage abilities, your Pet Dragon will soon do huge amounts of damage! And don't forget to search for the two maps found on the first island. Sometimes you can find Bolo map without a fight and go there, run past the Viking ship to an altar and get level 3 for free (training gives you level 2).
