Steady, thanks for catching that bug for me. Lumberjacks are Supposed! to act the same as stone masons once the resources are gone on the map. I've put that on my list of things to fix.
I believe you have the right idea about raiding the enemy in mission 3. While their total army is still relatively small, sending your own will mean they can't send as much to attack you. Once they finally grow large enough, killing several of their soldiers won't affect their next raid attack if they still have 5 of everything left after you killed some. Once it reaches that point, I also switch over to total defense.
