+It is sometimes a good idea to recruit another mage on turn 10 or so, since 
you will probably end the gold with less

this does make sense). Also, you can get

 <h3>3. An Unexpected Appearance</h3>

+What you do in this scenario depends on which way you want to go. Going east 
is harder, but brings you more reward, such
+as the chance to go to Mal-Ravanal's Capital (which eventually will be 
worthwhile, but probably isn't now).
+
+Obviously, first kill Mal-Tar. To do this, shoot him with Dacyn and attacking 
him with Gweddry's melee. It probably
+won't kill him the first turn, so second turn kill the vampire bat he recruits 
with Dacyn and finish Mal-Tar off with
+Gweddry. Then, recall 2 shock troopers and 1 half-advanced heavy infantry on 
the side of the castle you are going (so if
+you are attacking eastward, recall them on the 3 eastern castle hexes). This 
gives them  a headstart in that direction.
+Dacyn might be wounded, so send him to a village. Don't worry, he can fend for 
himself, since the bats usually arrive
+one at a time and he can kill one per turn. Recall any mages with a lot of XP 
and the spearman you gave the holy water
+in the previous scenario, then go whichever way you are going. You might want 
to recruit one throw-away cavalryman to go
+north, since he gives you income and draws away enemies that otherwise would 
attack your main force from behind.
