I am nonetheless trying to do a speed run with Anastasya's campaign, difficulty level 'hard'.
For the initial bonus we choose the Tarot Deck. Its effect is cumulative with duplicates. As a consequence, we start with no resources and a mere 2000 Gold. Because of the difficulty level, we get only 35 Ghouls.
In the Wake of Adversity
This is where the first campaign begins. Anastasya is the one with the green flag. She will be at the center of most screenshots. The other character is Sveltana, her great aunt.
Sveltana says we should reach the surface. Also, at some point in the (distant?) future there is a choice to make between 'blood' and 'tears'.
First order of business is to capture and convert the local town before the second week begins. Haven units are no good to us because they can't be resurrected. Of course this means an immediate need for speed.
As the level 1 ability we pick Enlightenment (20% learning bonus). This allows us to quickly acquire all the necessary movement abilities.
Wish me luck!
