Shadow of the Past (What gives?)

[cryptoknight]

Ok so I picked up the game and I've been playing it.

Now I've hit Shadow of the Past. I can't even make headway into this one.

If I build a wizard's guild and upgrade it to stop the demon guy from frying my base then I have lvl 1 wizards who can't stand up to the werewolves, and other level 10 and 15 bad guys who show up in the first 5 minutes of the mission.

If I build a ranger's guild and use them to defend against all the wolves when the demon guy pops in he kills them all.

If I build a Lord's tower, i can't afford any lords and the wolves and the demon guy eat my village

Clerics are like Wizards and Warriors don't fare well against the demon either.

How the hell am I supposed to even get more than 5 minutes into this mission? Up until this one it was fun and interesting... now I've apparently hit the FU mission.
