To help with defending your base from the start, try getting 2 druids and 6 forestguards (or 3/9 for 3 towers) and stuff them into towers you think will be attacked. Resistance to magic damage is very rare, so almost all enemies will fall quickly to these towers. These units will also not take up space in your army limit.

Getting one or two Elven Rings of Greed can be great early on, netting you free crystal as soon as the battle begins! Just keep in mind the massive spellcasting chance penalty.
