I did it like this (2 Castles, Druids, 3rd Castle, Gilraen), and they say that I'm about to start the fifth mission.
I think shoot-nick completed it in a similar sequence.
And I actually managed to finish it in a month, and I see that if I replay it, I can complete it even faster using the same strategy.
So, it seems you didn't eliminate the Druids. In that case, I have a question: why does your mission end if not all the map's conditions are met?
The question of which mission comes next in light of this question is already secondary. In our case, with shoot-nick, everything is completed
ON THIS MAP. And I don't care what the next mission is :)
It's not unlikely, but it's DEFINITELY possible to complete it in a month. And there's clearly a buffer of about a week or a little less!
Am I understanding correctly about the month? i.e., you start and don't capture the southern Castle, then complete all the missions, and at the end, you go south and take what is essentially the first Castle :confused:
mmm... haha, I completed the mission normally (all the checkboxes are checked :D), and that case occurred when I was playing this mission for the first time (not as part of the tournament). I already sent the description a long time ago; we're waiting for the preliminary results, and everything will become clear :-)
