Sometimes you face this situation (playing on veteran difficulty): you're playing, for example, as Ilfina, building a tavern, and you see Ossir and Gilraen there. Should you buy both of them in the first week, because they might not be available in the second week? But you don't have enough money, so what should you do??? The temptation is strong:smile45:
Definitely take both of them. In the development of the Academy, money plays a secondary role!
In general, you should have: dryads, archers, swordsmen, and druids in the first week (clear the mines for wood and ore)! In the second week, take everyone who is in the base, divide the druids in half, and destroy the remaining mines! In the second week, you should already have everyone, including Ents and Dragons!
