General Strategy:

Use all level 1 creatures and a level 4 creature in beginning to draw out big spells
Draw out dissolves with several equipment items that can be replaced with enchantments
Send one level 4 creature to destroy structures
Summon wolf pack to hunt down mage and use longbow to take out structures
If wolf pack is effective, summon unicorn to help keep them alive
Summon Sosruko to distract large creatures
Summon Corvere to hunt down mage
