even Shakti has a worse chance of hitting the max on the second take!
all IMHO

I strongly disagree with this :) The standard option is 110 at the start + 50-70 as an increase.

more often 100-110 +30 on the second

but Dungeon without Shakti or without 3 stacks of troglodytes is out of luck.

P.S. For Swamp, losing a turn on the 1st week due to upgrading is critical in 90% of cases.

For example, a dwarf fortress at level 100, with 46 gnolls, 18 lizards, and 2 dryads at level 114, is easily taken, with losses of 10 gnolls and occasionally 1-2 lizards!!!

6). If Wistan has also arrived, then it makes sense to level up his shooting skills (and at the same time, consider making him the main hero); then the Medusa will also fall, although with greater losses among the Gnolls.

Or maybe just choose Wistan as the starting hero?

I'll bet :)

That's a viable alternative!
I tend to stick to tradition. If I can manage to get a good number of ducks and angels with Tazar, he seems to be the stronger choice. As for Wistan, in SoD, he can potentially get up to <20 bows in total, which is a risk. Although, on some maps, he might have a better starting position.

P.S. Another trick for the swamp:
Thanks to the fast dragonflies, hit-and-run mages become very effective. In one of my games, I got Andra, so I focused on magic skills, learned Bolt in the secondary skill, and gave her a slight boost in the beginning. By the end of the second week (as far as I remember), I arrived on the opponent's territory with 7 groups of dragonflies. I had around 150 mana. Strength 8-10+spellpower:) Now, if someone attacks me, I eliminate the archers and then pay them off. If there are no archers, I have a good chance of casting a double spell. A random hero attacked me with 20+ griffons and other units. I slowed them down and destroyed his entire army. The main hero attacked, I cast Bolt on the archers, and then, feeling satisfied, I paid him off. The game was decided.

Many consider Inferno to be a weak faction, but they managed to take a Consul-max on lava without a greased stack, without hiding places, and without magic on the 2nd week. When Heroesworld is up and running, I'll make a description.

I remember that someone named Oelm promised to provide an interesting and useful description on the temporary branch of the World forum:
We are looking forward to it.

I don't have that much playtime with Dungeon or in general, but I'll allow myself to disagree:
1) Dungeon is the most "unloved" town for the generator, since it's the only one that doesn't have a "native" surface spawn (only dirt).

Because of this, we get that restarts are often spent looking for a normal starting location, and not on the selection of secondary heroes and starting army, etc.

Moreover, playing Dungeon is the biggest gamble, since the town is quite dangerous (the strongest native population) absolutely everyone fights in melee at full strength, while having 2 fairly strong shooters, 3 flying units, and 2 powerful infantry! + cheaty Shakti, but the generator can crush Dungeon easier than any other town

(The Baew players should have been allowed to play Shakti in the inter-portal) ;)

2) I absolutely disagree with the formula 110+70 in the second week, since you don't always get a native hero in the first and second weeks + Shakti very rarely gets through the first week without losses

(if he fights a lot, of course), since there is little off-hand meat and it's not always more attractive than Troglodytes + morale in almost every fight is critical for Troglodyte losses + any shooter blocks almost always lead to significant losses, especially when you send Troglodytes through the chain so the noobs can fight.

Rely on chocolate for everything?
