Unbelievable! In my game, Kira killed Das and captured Deep Shadow in the very first few days! And somehow, it remained in your possession! Maybe Das survived in your game? According to the plot, he's supposed to die, and that's why Mutare takes revenge on the Dragon!
On the same map, at the very beginning, there are such radical differences, and because of them, you can do everything differently, simply level up your hero and army and defeat the Dragon, without going through anything else!
And you can do it many times faster!
Could you share your save file? I really want to see this with my own eyes. I'm attaching my save file for week 1-2-1.
I think I understand what kolotok means. This isn't the author's intention, but rather how the AI, i.e., Kira, behaves. I'll describe what happened in my game before it crashed:
1. Kira captured Deep Shadow on the very first day. It's impossible to defeat her with Das's pitiful army. How could it be possible?? Then, an error occurred on week 1 of the game.
2. Kira checked the Dragon's guard, made sure that I wouldn't release him for any treasure in the world, and went down, not touching Deep Shadow (!), and exited through the underground gate at the top. This option suited me, but the computer decided otherwise, and an error occurred on week 2 of the game.
