This is a great option; the Walkthrough aims for perfection.
That's a big exaggeration! :)
I just thought it was more logical (easier) to go up on this map, take the Crusaders there, and then, in the opposite direction, through the respawn point towards the "canned goods" (two of them, where the Griffons are hiding), or through the Legion of Demons, with some losses but at a faster pace, to the shrine with the slowing effect (above the second "canned goods" above the Griffon hiding places), and only then go to the enemy lands. But it turns out that people play differently; they set up a portal in the first month and defeat the enemies without slowing them down.
I assume this is the author's main "working" strategy. It's not wrong, as it results in good forces in the form of Angels from the "canned goods." But I didn't like it very much. Angels will only represent real strength after they are upgraded (due to the regeneration ability), and you'll still have to go south towards the fort to upgrade them.
By the way, was resurrecting through cloning Archons considered?
It was considered and used later, but at the time of the battle with Kreg, in the first month, there were only 2 Angels in the army, and I didn't visit the "canned goods," so this option only started working after visiting the "canned goods" and upgrading the Angels, i.e., later.
