Tactics for the Swamp (Fortress).

Yes... I'm playing as the swamp faction in the "Favorites to Battle" tournament. Wow - what these beasts can do on random! :) Simply put, if the external dwellings also happen to be favorable - gorgons, for example - then reaching Dragon Utopia by the end of the 2nd week is more than realistic (on minimum map size, naturally...). Plus, having enough money for redemption (which isn't hard to get as swamp - crypts are taken on the 1st day without any issues) and so on...
