I honestly had no idea what the game mode involved, but I simply played against an easy AI, I had Captain Cutter.
I just built my base up really fast, two supply pads, then a reactor, and kept building up my base. I won the game without even trying in what felt like less than 5 minutes!

I think against an easy AI you can do just about anything useful and you'll win quickly as the AI doesn't do much.

EDIT: Thanks to Dibbs93, here's what Tug of War is about:
"""taken from halo wikia 'Tug of War is a game mode in Halo Wars that is won by having a stronger army than your opponent. Defeating enemies is essential, but success is determined by a combination of the army, buildings, and resources left standing in the end. It can be obtained as a game mode by downloading it from Xbox Live.'

so basically you need to make sure your army strength is always higher than your opponents"""

That is really weird! Are you saying it's almost all the way too the left at the start? If so, that definitely sounds like a glitch. I tried it against Cutter, as Cutter, and against the Arbiter as Cutter, and both worked alright. Hmm...

In case it helps anyone in the future, this didn’t pop the first time for me, so the next time I tried, I built a second warthog as the first thing I did, then carried on building the base as normal.
It popped that time, so the extra warthog might help as a means of making your army stronger than the opponent from the beginning.

I'll be honest, I found this easier by playing as the Covenant, against any UNSC.
Build a Temple first thing and by having your leader spawn in, you automatically get 6-7 points in your favour. Then you can use that headstart.

As soon as you start the game, have your friend resign. You'll get the achievement. Don't forget to return the favour to your friend!

1v1
Mode: tug of war
Difficulty: easy
Map: doesn’t matter
Player: carter
AI: doesn’t matter

How it works: the player is the right as you look at the screen and the AI is the left.
You will the right hand side face so pay attention to that and make sure the left side doesn’t have more points then the right otherwise you won’t get the achievement.

Build a reactor and supply pads from the start and a another warthog and collect supply’s on around the map. Thats should put you in the lead straight away. Now all you got to do is maintain that. Build heaps of warthogs and research warthog gunner and just build supply pads. Once you have enough warthogs start attacking the enemy base until you destroy it and win.

Also if you want to make things even easier put on skulls that only help you as soon as the game starts.
