Tactics for playing against a human opponent (in the 3rd game).

If you're playing Dungeon, start with Shakti. She can summon 100-150 troglodytes. With them, you can establish a good base on day 1. Forget about the Capitol (don't listen to anyone who says otherwise). Build minotaurs with a Citadel or Castle on day 1, if possible. If you find a couple of treasure chests early on, upgrade the troglodytes on day 1 if there are more than 100. With the right tactics and Shakti, this is a very powerful force. You can take the Conservatory on day 1 or 2 for a couple of angels (2 if you have around 140 troglodytes and an attack expert). On the second week, just play as you normally would. You'll have over 200 troglodytes, and that's enough to take anything. (The main thing is to find a relic). If there's an external lair of level 5-7 on day 1, break it and build a portal of summoning. This will give you a super-powerful army on day 2. (Of course, you don't need to take other lairs later, so that the creatures you need keep coming through the portal of summoning).
