Arkantos shout is your most valuble asset.

very brutal mission. Difficult to balance resources, keeping troops alive, pulling not too many enemies, fighting away from enemy towers, doing all this while keeping pace otherwise they train a million more guys, surviving mass archers and breaking buildings around the same time - if you make it that far... easy to make it at 8:30 in game timer but below 8:00 ?? very hard

I kept losing too many units early or messing up villager macro, and when i finally had good attempts the mass archer wave shattered my hopes and dreams as you can see by the intro. not looking forward to replaying this run in the future if someone beats my run ^^

very easy to attract too many troops or waste too much time fighting in between enemy towers or getting shredded by archer mass even if you have good army if they camp near tower+TC

I played poorly, im shocked this run was so good. my previous runs were nowhere near this time. i messed up my infantry training by making them sit AFK, i messed up my villager food farmers by having them not transition onto goats so they sat AFK after pigs got eaten,, also messed up my fighting by accidentally pulling away infantry from archers when they were near defeated, wasting some time and losing soldiers because of a non attack move click ++ i had 2 afk villagers for like a minute or two.

time can definitely be improved. maybe not easily. you might also be able to ignore the tower i destroyed near the entry and just run straight in instead, saving some time, but you would have to pay attention to keep reinforcements from whacking it pointlessly & getting killed for the rest of the run. their AI is stupid. they dont ignore it, they will whack it 1 by 1 and die./ even if you have a flag command to walk past it xd
