Personally, it seems to me that this cannot be an early version (although...).
I think so because both sides have catapults, and the right side lacks a hero.
And, by the way, the monsters look cooler here, more menacing (for example, the "Evil Eye"). I would replace them with these.
And this made me think:
1. Can the towns be redesigned to look like the ones in the screenshots?
2. Is it possible that someone will create a version of the game that looks like the one in the first screenshot?
