It's better to start the timer on days 1-3, take a couple of guilds to get the necessary stack to capture more difficult objects, so that later, without starting the timer, you can calmly take the remaining objects and move to the center on days 117-121. This is where the imbalance lies.
P.s. I don't play HotA, this is just my opinion, based solely on streams.
