Using a Hydra:
When surrounded by enemies close by, use the Hydra's attack
on any opponent. All of the Hydra's heads will lash out, and
kill one of each enemy.
Getting a good army:
Start with the barbarian and catch some villains. This is easy
on Arcathia. Build a very nasty army including pikemen, nomads,
knights, archers and lizardmen. If you get an army with over
400 lizardmen it is possible to kill dragons with three strikes.
