A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

I don't have any problems with strategy, but 15-21 harpies are nothing compared to 150 troglodytes.
So what if you move 2 extra squares? What's the point?

Let me try to explain my position to you.
On the first day, you can have 134-174 troglodytes (3 stacks from Shafta, growth, 2nd hero), and 24-32 harpies (3 stacks from Lorelei, growth, 2nd hero).
You can also start with 2 stacks of harpies.
You need to restart if: there are no 2nd-tier units in the city, there are no 2-3 stacks, the 2nd hero in the tavern doesn't have harpies, there is no hero on the first day who can become the main one (because Lorelei is a promising weak hero with the scouting skill).
Another disadvantage is that you need to take sulfur as a bonus, because you need 2 sulfur to upgrade harpies.
Then you need to look at the situation. With harpies, you can defeat a much stronger, slow-moving unit with significantly fewer losses, or even defeat it when troglodytes would suffer losses or fail to defeat it (zombies, gnomes, dendroids, cows, etc.). You can also use the terrain very effectively in battles with harpies. If there is a hidden stash of harpies on the map, that's +16 harpies on the second day (and that's already not worse than 100+ troglodytes). Regarding movement points, a difference of 200 movement points is 7*200=1400 per day, 9800 movement points per week.
I see some advantages in this compared to playing as Shafta on a small map. That's why I was asking if it's possible to change the starting hero after a restart, because with a few restarts in reserve, you can try playing with harpies.
