Hmm... that's interesting. How many level 4 creatures are there at 200% difficulty? Somewhere around a group (10-19). At a minimum, you need to recruit 3 such groups of monsters in the first week. For this, you also need to increase diplomacy to the expert level, and also get monsters with money... I wouldn't say that this is such a "problem-free" situation :)
You guys are something else, as VLK777 says, I'm "writing in Russian in white":) : I killed these neutrals, not recruited them or conjured them up with cheats and fought without the help of "conjured" troops:), but mainly (90%) with my own troops from 2 castles starting from the first week!
