Awakening of Evil

I understand. I'm also playing on Veteran difficulty. By the way, isn't it better not to rush? Will the computer become stronger when you reach a certain point?

Well, the computer gets a boost with 5 castles, so I wouldn't waste turns. Around the 7th month, if the hero enters the Dungeon, the forces will be roughly equal. If you delay, the consequences will be unpredictable.
