Dragon Cliffs day 4-5?
Well another thread hopefully i can learn alot from the feedback i get (if i get any ) Right i was playing a jebus game the other week against my brother and i realised i had 3 dragon cliffs by week 1 so i finished the game and won but then was speaking to angel and he told me i should of taken over 1 dragon cliff before week 2 started so i could break quicker so i went back to my save and played the map again and figured that i could fight the guards without a big loss in my army so if i give you my stats army and skills i learnt hopefully some of you can give me some info on how to fight without a big loss.....
Day 5-Ivor my stats are 2-4-1-2 and my army is 48 centuars 5 dwarves 13 elves 5 pegasis 3 dendroids and 2 unicorns i have advance archery and basic offense with no spell book and i am fighting 8 efreet sultan and plus the 3 dragons guarding the cliffs any tips on how i should fight?

looool
3 cliffs and u pick the one with sultans?? O_o
rule 1: if you can chose, never fight sultans.
But if u must fight them, do not bring the elves. put those on a scout and put some troops in stacks of 1.
When you fight the green dragons, put one stack of kentaurs in the middle with 1 kentaor, and 1 hex creatures close. Put your 2 hex creatures on th e edges or they get it.
The trick is to let the greens fry that 1 kentaur, then hit them with a stack of 1 guy before u hit them with entire army. This way u lose 2 kentaurs only, or minimize the losses at least.
Once again, if u can pick between 3 enemies, fight the sultans last. They are one of the hardest mobs.
Once an opponent quit on me cause he found out his block was sultans and that he did not have any cons (lol what a noob)

3 of them???
That's a win right there. Build dragon dwell on week 1 without citadel - it should be build at the expense of other critters.
Take 1 dwell as early as possible, hire 1 dragon, this will make it easier to take 2-nd and 3-rd ones. Doesn't matter if you take losses in the process. (It is best that don't lose the elves, of course, but not really necessary). If your main can't reach 3-rd one, chain the 2 dragons along with the rest of the army to a scout and take the 3-rd.
You get:
3(dwell) + 1(castle) dragons on week 1.
1+3(castle) + 3 dragons (dwell) on week 2.
If one of your 2-ndary towns is a dungeon, increase this number by 2 more.
Grand total: 11 dragons (13 with 1 dungeon and 15 with 2 dungeon towns)! Upgrade them to gold dragons and you got a MAJOR powerstack. Add angels and wyverns from cons and hives and break. Don't worry about gaining all xp from cons/hives with your main - you'll gain plenty after you break. Scouts are more than enough to take those. Also - take the nearby topes for arties (if your main is too far - scouts can do well in those with other rampart troops as the fodder).
Doesn't matter if you don't have the money to hire the other critters, or if you lose all of them. 11 golds + wyverns + angels should be enough to break and win on week 2.

the sultan fight is going to cost you at least some kents(giving you don't bring the elves to that), but it's not much you can do to avoid losses without tactics.
For the dwell fight i might have a few tips.As said earlier the speed 11 that the dragons have on grass will allow a direct attack against a 2 hex critter that is positioned exactly in the middle(face to face with the dragons).Having 13 elves may help alot but you need to protect them of dragons attacks.I suggest a formation like this:elves/main kents/single dendroid/single kent/single dendroid/single kent/2 unicorns.
round 1 the dragons target the single kent in slot no 4.you shoot with elves, wait with main stack of kents, take retal with single kent in slot no 6,then attack with unis/main kents and one single dendroid.the next round, the dragons will be bindeed into place and won't be able to kill your elves.They will prolly target your main stack of centaurs(kents  )or the single dendroid stack.If they target the centaurs, then wait with all units, take retal with the single dendroid(which will most likely stay alive), then follow up with all your other units.This way you will take the dwell with 15-20 centaurs lost and maybe 1 or 2 dendroids.with a better start, maybe with 25 or so upgraded elves nad exp archerey i think a dragon dwell can be taken with only elves, 3 stacks of single centaurs and 3 single dendroids using this trick.
hope this helps

Sure, but if you chose artifact as bonus at start, you get the Spirit of Oppression and avoid the loss.

Spirit of Oppression? I always thought that if you do this you get the pendant of free will.
