“Ashes’ Will” – “A Sad Journey” [Campaign 2, Mission 2]

Based on what you're saying, it seems like you had a relatively easy time with it (meaning you progressed quickly). Lucky you! I've been fighting the orange faction for two months now, and their numbers are overwhelming. It would be fine if he didn't constantly stay in his city! I tried attacking him! I won! But if it weren't for that damn resurrection spell... he resurrected Thunderbirds, and that was the end for my last 10 Skeleton Warriors and 2 Astral Dragons! Why does he have 20 times more mana than me? And that's even though he casts spells more often than I do! I'll let you in on a secret: I wouldn't have had a chance if I hadn't randomly found a Phoenix summoning scroll! I've been playing for two weeks now, and I still can't beat him. And it's all because I made one mistake at the beginning: I captured the Academy first, left it undefended, and then went to attack another Necropolis. The Academy fell, and that's when the bloody war started! P.S. For some reason, recruiting troops is actually giving me a profit instead of a loss. Maybe it's a bug? I had 35k gold before recruiting, and the next day, I had 55k gold! I don't want to start the mission over: 1) I'd rather jump off a roof than build my army again. 2) I'm just lazy
