Ranger – “Emerald” [5th campaign, 2nd mission]

2bonchik: What difficulty level are you playing on? I'm playing on Hero difficulty, and I arrive in the first week with my starting army (I take 10 Dryads as a bonus, and Faidaen is level 12 with Skilled Chaos Magic, and knows Earth Shock), but Alastor already has a decent army (and he also has Hellfire). If I arrive in the second week, won't he buy reinforcements (which means Devils and the like, which is unpleasant). Also, I'm interested in when Red starts to become active in the middle castle. After taking the upper castle, won't the computer start dominating the middle castle? Because by the beginning of the second week, he builds all the dwellings, which isn't good.
