Frida's Dilemma - "Duncan" [Campaign 1, Mission 3]

I'll describe the strategy that led me to victory. I tried to develop Freya as much as possible. I captured mines. Don't bother with "red" troops. You'll get much more of the regular ones. I captured all the cities and carefully developed them. I upgraded militia to crossbowmen. I had a situation where troops from the "market" in the cities disappeared, and new ones didn't appear. You need to buy troops at the beginning of the week! Then at least new ones will arrive. I fought Duncan with an army of over 2100 crossbowmen, over 200 armored troops, a good hundred royal griffins, 30 monks, and 16 knights. The crossbowmen killed 14 PALADINS with ONE SHOT:smile14:!!! I gathered such troops in about three weeks.
