Oh... not if you have as much as I have <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> - I place my ava a distance in front of the towers to attack/lure(Windfell was nice for that, where the strong orc attacks attacks came. First maps with the iron soldiers). As enemies could come from the Spiderman side and the one west of it => towers all along the 2 paths and my ava. Then I built up windarchers slowly and let them defend the Lenia and main orc attack side, left the spiderman side solely up to my towers - no enemy came through.
I conquered the 2 next monuments without any loss (4 healers, 21 upgraded windarchers + my ava). Further no losses until I got the stone/iron place for the human monument - all plastered with towers. After getting the Aria pool, the first Iron Soldiers came. I killed them without loss, too. I let my ava demolish the fire towers alone, just aided by 2 clerics/healers from a distance to heal her, built towers again with 2 troops of elven workers - my main army was far behind me.
It was quite humourous for me to see my ava kneedeep in dead orcs. I did have losses when I stormed the main Orc settlement, where Brannigan was, because my army counted 50 then and I couldn't prevent the paladins from running into all directions. Gathered my rest army and then let my ava kill the last iron soldiers alone to reach the portal.
Let's see how my slow tower approach+ranged warriors works in the other maps. I know it was very helpful in the Rift area - but solving maps like this takes hours and only works if I have plenty ressources.

Then I killed the spider man after telling him to let his spiders attack - they tried to come back and aid him, but had to walk past the long track of towers => all were dead, only one reached my army, heavily wounded and was no problem.
