Have some work ahead so probably there won't be any uploads before the next year. Then I'll deal with Belial and scenario 12 in this game... Which is a tough map.

This, is a nice level to run. So many fun details to follow. You either win by getting 700 population or thrashing the enemy kingdoms. As you start with the full tech-tree, there's a couple of ways of doing this scenario. War Machines attracts aggression, which is why it is important to maim the two kings, blue and yellow who are just passing by anyway. Money is an issue throughout the level so it's needed to be balanced as well.

A nice run, took me quite some attempts to get a time to be satisfied with. The assassination of the kings went fine, I'm not sure whether the best option is to go and slay them completely, or to build multiple war factories from the start and rush frythans. But in this strategy all went well for sure. The first real mistake was at 17' when I didn't destroy the factories and other jobs for orange kingdom, preventing the town from rebelling. Again in the end, chasing reds new king(s), could've been prevented from making his cities rebel. But still all and all, I'm quite happy with this time as this map is pretty difficult to run.

Thanks for watching this series of 7k. I have the intention to run all scenarios later on, but first I will finish running deeper dungeons.
