Round table

I'll argue with that :)

more often 100-110 +30 on the second

Out of all factions, my experience playing as Dungeon is the greatest (definitely around 70 games)—only in rare cases does Shakti have <100 troglodytes; that's if Lorelei or only 1 stack arrives. In most cases, 2 stacks of trogs arrive, averaging 35+35 from 2 heroes and 14 from the castle. Total: 120 plus or minus 10. On the second week, with a built-up Stronghold, +21 and another 30-40 from the hero, totaling at least +50! Not counting caches and possible 3 native heroes.

but Dungeon without Shakti or without 3 stacks of troglodytes is out of luck.

Without Shakti, playing as Dungeon isn't even worth it in principle, and the 3 stacks thing is a fantasy :)

P.S. For Swamp, losing a turn on the 1st week due to upgrading is critical in 90% of cases.

With built-up archers, I always upgrade them on day 1 or 2 both in TE and SoD—depending on the flies at the start. I've never experienced any "critical" problems ;) Of course, this is all IMHO based on personal experience
