It's my first Challenge so I have a silly question: FC or can I use tactical combat?
I see nothing about it in the rule page
thanks

TC of course. Its not as big an edge as in AoW but you can use either.

In AowI I use FC only to gime me an handicap against the AI, is too simlpe kill his unit eh eh. In the new game I must to do some practice so some battle is more simple in FC.
I used Julia and finished in 10 days, maybe, with a little more skill in TC, I can finish in 9 days.

Thanks RFlags
Now I hope that I have not made any error, I select cpu Knight, exploration on ecc and play, in fact Yaka and Meandor did't conquer any cities so they cannot spawn to another place when I kill them, maybe that I'm too fast for them.
I submit my final save to Cay and I suppose that it's allright (if he load the save)
By the way someone know if is possible for the wizard reborn in any of their cities or only in the cities with a wizard tower?
I don't think that I'll be the winner (there are some excellent player in the community and it's the first challenge for me) but if you want my opinion 36 day are too much, I played 38 days my first game with the demo only because I want test the game, but I was lucky this time because the two yaka's manticores stay away from my units, in fact I wonder for what yaka use it, I had lost their traces when they exit from the rage of the reflecting pools
also I thinck that is better play with julia, the haste trees are near to is starting city and are usefull to arrive to yaka city

I think that nine days is very good (but no one is bragging about his score so I'm not sure)
I suppose you must play one more time or my light elves never submit to your dark elves
Julia led her elves to a great victory against the poor yaka and meandor

Maybe 7 days is better?
If no I hope that the winner tell me his strategy because I'm very curious about a way to finish in 6 day or less

6 days? GREAT
I should have problems to arrive with some units near to yaka in 6 days, maybe two unicorns and a cat master can arrive but it's too little for win against him, I need the support of julia and other units
Did you use julia or meandor?

Sure, save, reload and find the shortest way, also a monkey can do it so I suppose that the challenge finish with a big tie between all the players (at least the patient players). I don't think that you can win with too little units, now it's impossible with the new TC so you must use some strategy and not only patience.
If black night is interessed I must reload 2 time to win in 9 days and 5 more times to win in 7 days, about 3 or 4 hours for finish the game, it's too much for your patience???
But I must admit that I abuse of the AI, against a human player I cannot split my forces and accumulate a big army near my enemy cities, I'll use a different strategy

To Kris
I use the same strategy: Julia agaist yaka with the unit taked in the camp near the tree berries while the ballista, longbowmen and my hero against meandor
I suppose that I made an error somewhere and lost 1 days so you are the winner (if nobody make a better score)
