Has anyone completed Festival of Life, one of the Armaggedon campaigns?
I can't find any strategies for it posted anywhere. On the whole, it
seems relatively easy, as I'm on the 3rd scenario now without help,
although I had a big panic in the 2nd one (Taming the something or
other) because you have only 4 months to wipe out every creature on the
map and I got to the last week and just couldn't spot any more. Tracked
them down in the end - just a couple of little Trogs that snuck in at
the beginning of the week, but quite hard to spot on a big map!

Anyhow, in the third one (already forgotten the name), you still have
your 4 heroes who are all about Level 20 and you have to beat 3 enemy
heroes. Sounds easy, till you go to the Thieves' Guild and see their
stats which are pretty damned close to your best hero's! And of course,
they start attacking you before you've been able to build up a strong
enough army.

I know speed, or at least the right speed, is the key in all HOMM
campaigns; I mean you have to knock out their castles so they can't
build up huge armies, but it's quite difficult and I'd welcome any
tips.
