The point is I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to do it at all if there had been another dragon on the field, or some other feature. Granted it was hard keeping my dragon alive when I was out of recruits and knew I couldn't respawn him if he went down, but I just took my time. Cloaked Warlocks were my biggest pain in the side. I hadn't the chance to research any of the new stuff yet for Act II so I pretty much had the basics to work with.

As far as aggression, the enemy massed and took my starting position rather quickly. The dragon and the few units I could muster could not hold back the tide. Luckily I sent a unit up North to grab a base up there and from there I basically built up a defensive position (lots of turrets) and held on.

But now comes the hardest decision of all ... I have to pick a bride. Unfortunately the undead basically hate me and I really need to marry her (it is a political marriage after all) but I married her in my first game and want to try something different.
