Druid Island REMASTERED

I can only say that you are probably very skilled, because by the end of the third week, I am usually level 17-18.
By the way, a +10 Cyclops increase is only possible if you have fully upgraded two castles, and if, in addition to them, you have captured all 4 outer dwellings scattered throughout the territory. If you achieve these results by the end of the third week, then I take my hat off to you.
For example, by this time, I only manage to capture one (maximum two) out of the 4 dwellings, and my Cyclops increase is +4.
By the way, a very angry Inferno hero, level 22, usually comes to visit me around this time, and a battle with him will make me forget about boasting about a large army for a long time.
In general, I don't understand - what are you complaining about? It seems like you are saying that the game is easy, but you are asking for mercury. This is the condition that limits your incredible skill.

Regarding the large number of outer dwellings.
The Orcs have a lot of them because they don't have a third castle. This is compensation for that. Others have fewer, but still enough.
The map is not small; each Faction has two paths for attack, and according to the plot of the battle, it is large-scale, so the armies will be large.
Regarding

running around with legions in your army

, I didn't understand, because I haven't seen these legions even once. There was a time when I accumulated 1k goblins closer to the end of the second month... But if you don't like large armies, maybe this map is just not for you.

In any case, I am currently away on business, as I wrote in previous posts. During the next month or so, I will not be able to make any changes to the map.
I hope that during this time, someone else will provide feedback on the map, because I don't really want to change anything in the map based on the feedback of only one person.
