Isn't there a way to defeat Jela with a red orb and a sniper bow earlier? I mean, with a smaller army. I'm not a pro, but it seems like the damage was already less than needed, so I had to rely on several morale/luck boosts. Or is there a way to build an army with equivalent damage in a couple of months?
This isn't sarcasm. I'm genuinely interested in what experienced players think about this. Maybe there are other, more original ways that I don't know about. I don't have that much experience, so I'd be happy to listen to any advice. :)
In general, it's not clear why the author added this red orb. In its original form, it was quite playable with a nice speedrun.

It's interesting, though. I didn't expect that the summoning portal could give me firebirds; I don't have any hidden resources at the start...
