If they had a 10x speed on KZfaq it MIGHT be fast enough to make it through one of your videos. You take two minutes to move a hero. Your 2 hour video could easily be 30 minutes.

Until now this was the most tense episode I've seen from you, and I was on the edge of my seat! That garrison and the fights, the struggle against overwhelming odds, this start was even harder than the Dwarf Tunnels start. Can't wait to see how your strategies at the end will turn out in the next chapter.

I'm curious about your strategy. Why do you spend so much gold on town structures and upgrades early on instead of recruiting creatures with that gold? Isn't it too risky leaving yourself with so few units in the early/midgame? Wouldn't it be wiser to build a few structures and recruit creatures to go out - and then, when you have capitol and an economy going, you can build up on upgrades?

i don't understand this gameplay at all... you keep buying worthless buildings like gnoll quarters (why would you need more of them? playing on impossible difficulty you will never be able to buy everything anyway, the unit sucks and the town has a lot of other more valuable units) and bunch of pointless heroes (what's the value in Jeddite in those circumstances? none) but then you don't use those buildings, leave the heroes standing behind despite having resources available to pick up everywhere, you have like 20 000 worth of gold in available units but keep wasting 2500 on heroes who sit around doing nothing while enemy has heroes nearby and you could wipe them out if not for wasted gold... you complain about not having gold to purchase units from more than two dwellings while sitting on 50 crystals and jewels... you could have easily had double the army on week 5, probably more than that. Also you didn't pay attention to enemy movement whatsoever, red heroes kept coming from top left corner but you ignored that part of the map. You had main hero with Wisdom close to town and guild mage available to upgrade but you refused to grab easy level 2 and 3 spells. Another thing which bothered me is that you stubbornly kept waiting with ranged unit on first turn in every single fight even when it was clear you will not get to shoot without penalty which multiple times meant you chose to not weaken enemy units before they would attack you and suffered bigger losses from their attacks than you should. You clearly have a lot of knowledge of the game considering your great use of one stacks, preparation before taking on buildings like crypts etc. but at the same time there were so many mistakes... Also, the garrison guarding neutral town being strong couldn't be more obvious. These are always very strong when they are far away from the player. Not to mention how garrison was still unclaimed despite having bunch of heroes roaming around it.
