Of course not:cool:, the encounter with Vlad, even though I managed to escape from him, happened on day 4, week 2, and month 4.
Your castles are strange:rolleyes:, I have a +5 Ent increase in each castle, totaling +10 per week, and I last recruited troops by summoning them from the castle before heading to Nicholas on the island.:D
I collected the greaves, shield, helmet, and cuirass, all of which were located near garrisons, and then I watched a cartoon about these artifacts and brought them to the Seer.:)
I played on Veteran difficulty, version 1.6.
I have a theory why there were so many ghosts:
1. It was likely from two armies because the second heroine had almost the same number of everything, except for dragons and ghosts.
2. There were many ghost dwellings, so by the time I arrived, there were probably a lot of them there as well.
