The campaigns are garbage

Last level of Alaric done here:
I just boomed after crossing and left one worker on the starting island to build houses. First attack is about 15 minutes in so you have a ton of time to build.

To take out purple you have to kill Sarus, which I accidentally did easily by running a Scout into his base (triggering a voice line) then his Hero just attack moved into my base. This campaign enemy suiciding their Hero unit’s been reported a couple times in the forums over multiple missions as a bug, so not sure if that’s intentional.

Then just clean everyone else up with Hussars. I think I had 140 workers with 100 on food. You can’t fish or else Red will make a ton of ships. Killing Yellow first gets you access to a ton of Gold. Unfortunately, you can’t make Hand Cannoneers in the Alaric campaign or else this would be so much easier.
