{{User commentary|
The second scenario is easily won early as it is not that hard to turtle and amass 100,000 gold. However I would recommend deliberately delaying your victory by spending your money if it gets too close to the threshold, and seek to eradicate your foes entirely. Take the time to build all mage guilds to max. If you can get it, the Fly spell is extremely powerful in the third and fourth scenario. The maps are very small mazes, and you can fly over barriers and take enemy positions easily. Try and get the spell for Sandro in particular, as only he will be carried over to the fourth and final scenario.}}{{end of user commentary}}
