Got boots on the first day, developed rapidly, and became very strong militarily and economically after conquering the nearby town. But just as I was preparing to take over several Griffin Castles in the next area, I encountered an enemy. Although the enemy had a Skeleton Prince, their forces were weak. I used the "Hero Flash" ability twice, and their forces suffered heavy losses. Moreover, their castle only had a one-way gate, which severely limited their development, so they surrendered.
