Walkthrough[]
Jarkonas has a single sorceress castle and hero in the southeastern corner of the map. Nearer the center of the map, there's a red barbarian castle and hero, and Harondale has two green castles in the northwest, one of which is Ivory Gates, and four heroes.
There are four neutral towns spread across the map, and one neutral sorceress castle, located to the west of Jarkonas' castle. By capturing it early, they can build up, and a quick strike can remove the red player from the equation.
Chasing the green player's heroes around the map and competing for the town can be time consuming, but luckily, it's not necessary - while Ivory Gates is defended, with more than a dozen giants, conquering it will instantly end the scenario.
