I do it this way: I immediately send Elia, if she has suffered minor losses after liberating Horncrest (the Haven castle), to eliminate the demons – they haven't really built anything up, and with proper management, it's not difficult to defeat them...
I place Wolfsten to guard the Renegade Pass, so they don't bother us, and we build up our Haven army...
After about a month and a half, after giving all the human armies to one of the three Haven heroes – preferably the most developed one – we go to attack the dwarves... You can forget about the Renegades – their army won't have time to gather a decent force... But using the Training Halls – where you can upgrade up to 20 units for money – and transferring them to better warriors, and not forgetting to use them every week, is important...
It's desirable to use a hero with upgraded Light magic during the siege...
guard the Renegade Pass, where is this pass?
I was already planning to fight the demon cities, after my dwarf was killed again, even though I sent a purchased hero with all the human troops half a map ahead of him, they killed him too, and he didn't weaken the dwarf king much:
This is how he dealt with me...:( :( :(
Apparently, the constant raids from underground were exhausting my "human" resources; I'll have to start the mission from the beginning and try to deal with the demons once and for all, so they don't cause any more trouble...:smile14:
