in any case, you won't be able to break through the neutral archers during the first week. what troops can you even have in the first week? what can we build in 5 days? 5 days because you still need to reach the mine. in the best case, we'll finish building up to witches. there probably won't be enough money to buy everyone, and even if there is, it won't help much; those same elf shooters will simply shoot you down, and if the difficulty is high enough, you have no chance at all. but by the second week, it becomes>On some maps, people aim for the Dragon Utopia by the 2nd week, and here you are talking about archers guarding mines. Trappers+Letos = breaking through almost without losses in the 1st week against shooters, even druids. Or do you simply refuse to play as Letos? There is also Sinitar with Arrow+Trappers, or Erin with Tactics+furies+Lightning. This is exactly where you need to spend your mana. Elves and shooters go down quite well; it's harder with those who have more HP.

What can we build in 5 days? 5 days because we still need to reach the mine. At best, we'll manage to build up to the Sorceress.

On some maps, on week 2, they target the Utopians, but you're talking about archers guarding the mines. Hunters + Leto = archers are practically wiped out on week 1 with minimal losses, even against Druids. Or do you just not play with Leto? There's also Sinithar with Archer + Hunters, and Erin with Tactics + Furies + Lightning. It's in these kinds of battles that you should be using mana. Elves and archers work well, it's harder against more powerful units.

In the first week, you definitely won't be able to defeat the neutral archers. What troops can you have in the beginning? What can we build in 5 days? 5 days because you still need to reach the mine. In the best-case scenario, we'll manage to build up to witches. You probably won't have enough money to buy everyone, and even if you do, it won't be of much use; the same elf archers will simply shoot them down, and if the difficulty is high enough, there's nothing to be done. But in the second week, it's definitely possible.

Let's figure it out. Hero - Sinistar. Difficulty - Hero. Map - let's say, the Dragon's Passage. Start: 9 Scouts, 3 Beasts, city level, hero level - 1.

Day 1: we build Scouts and take the mine - 4 squads of 22 peasants each. With Magic Arrow, no losses.

As a result, we have 16 Scouts, we take the lumber mill, 2 squads of 15 Dryads guard it, mana hasn't recovered yet, there's no well, so we lose 2-3 Scouts or lose a day in the city.

and we attack the sulfur mine. 4 squads of 16 Spearman guard it. With 16 Scouts, you're dead.

In the first week, it's unrealistic to capture all the mines you listed, and not only because the guards are strong, but also because you simply won't have time to reach them.

If you take a second hero, it slows down the development of the city because you have little money. Again, I'm writing about witches; I wrote about the best-case scenario, meaning this is unlikely to happen. And my first post was written at the beginning of the mission, not in the first week. And you definitely won't be able to do it in a week on a closed map because you'll have to go back for upgrades and reinforcements; you can, of course, use hired heroes, but then your scouts won't become agile, and I repeat, a hired hero will slow down the development of the city.

If you take a second hero, it slows down the development of your Castle because you have little money. Again, I'm writing about witches, and I mentioned the best-case scenario, meaning this is unlikely to happen. And my first post was written at the beginning of the mission, not during the first week. And you definitely won't be able to complete it within a week on a closed map because you'll have to return for upgrades and reinforcements. Of course, you can use hired heroes, but then your scouts won't become agile, and again, a hired hero will slow down the development of your Castle.

but how do you get to Dragon Utopia by the end of the second week...? How?

and why? Explain.
