But I have my own approach. I started maxing out Godric from the very first campaign. The AI clearly sees not only the hero's army but also the hero's stats. Even with a slight numerical advantage, it tries to hide from a strong hero. With his stats, Godric instilled fear in all enemies already in the 3rd campaign (he also made it difficult for me to defeat him). He also maxed out his stats there.
