U2 chose all the resource nodes, and I like both of my main heroes, plus I placed an elven stack of 4 units near the gate. In the end, I had 31 elves against 111 of his units. I don't have much money, but it doesn't matter...
The map overview reveals a brown castle and a likely path towards it, so we head that way, but Yura gets there first. First, we take the brown castle, and then, with the next reinforcement, we lay siege to the enemy castle.
Thanks to the map generator, I guess.
