Did a poor job of clearing. Got a spawn with two villages blocked off (70 Grand Elves and 21 Sharpshooters) and more than half the respawn. All because I fell for two Dragon Fly Hives near the castle along the road (one of them turned out to be max) when it was still a restart day.
As a result, the first week was a waste — took a couple of Pandora's Boxes for gold and Gnolls. At the start of the second week, I broke through to another part of the respawn, took two Griffin Conservatories (3+2) and a medium Dragon Fly Hive. Well, and there were 75 Cyclops Kings. I broke through with a tactical Tiraxsor, and ran to the center with a Grindan (4 Angels + 20 Ducks). But there I was already waiting for Grinya (40 Ducks + 1 Angel + 10 Black Knights + 100 Skeletons) with stats 20+ on defense and attack. Also, the respawn exits were all in one place, nowhere to run :(
