Next Yog goes eastward and flags an Alchemist Lab, then more to the east through a path between snowy mountains (Bracada!) until he reaches a Learning Stone; from this Learning Stone he sees to south a Mercenary Camp (guarded by pack of Archmagi) a Gem Pond (guarded by lots of Genies), second Green Keymaster's Tent (guarded by several Titans). south of Hut of the Magi is Light blue Keymaster's Tent (guarded by pack of Naga Queens; see image).

Recruit all Gargoyles, Master Gremlins (upgrade building if not already), Magi and Genies from Padon, the flagged Magi Tower and Altar of Wishes; put them on Yog, who in turn goes to attack Calarnen; if lucky, Aine will be surprised outside town and defeated more easily; otherwise she will defend the town (has only Citadel) with her Titan and lose the battle nevertheless.

After conquering Calarnen, Yog goes through the path between eastern edge of map and a mountain range, toward south, flagging mines and creatures generators as he passes.

Yog recruits all from Rockwarren, then goes west and flags an unguarded Ore Pit. Next he marches northward, flags Goblin Barracks (guarded by lots of Hobgoblins) and recruits, visits a Mercenary Camp (guarded by lots of upgraded Wolf Raiders) and a Learning Stone; also there is a Gold Mine guarded by pack of Rocs (leave it alone now). From here you'll see a heavily guarded Garrison (with level 1-7 Stronghold troops; purple flagged; just beyond it is a pack of Cyclopes) toward northeast. But Yog goes to northwest, flagging a Crystal Cavern and sees, north of Mine, the town of Ulgak (reachable from east) in center of map separated from your starting zone by a range of mountains. Then he flags a Wolf Pen, turns south, flags a Sawmill and observes a Windmill and a Cyclops Stockpile; just near Stockpile there is Centaur's Axe. Afterwards Yog returns to Rockwarren so as to be there at week's end.

Yog recruits Rocs, Orcs, Wolf Raider and Goblins and flags Gold Mine, Orc Tower, then visits Windmill (here you'll see that that the west passage is blocked by a heavily guarded purple-flagged Garrison; just beyond it is a pack of Cyclopes and a town, Sandflash in southeastern corner of map; so it seems that the map is divided in few parts separated by Garrisons). So Yog returns to the Gold Mine; north east of it is a Subterranean Gate and he goes there. Here he goes west and flags a Gold Mine, one Sawmill and an Ogre Fort, visits a Windmill. Near Subterranean Gate to Surface there is also a two-way monolith to northwestern corner of underground section of map. There can be found two Orc Towers and a Crystal Cavern; there is no need to go there. If a stack of wandering monsters wants to join, accept.

Recruit a Stronghold hero (Jabarkas) and give all available army to Yog. Near town there is a Scholar (+1 Attack); Yog takes it then goes on the road to southeast, flagging right and left (in case of creature generators recruit also). So, he flags that Sawmill, one Ore Pit, then Goblin Barracks, Wolf Pen and visits a Windmill.

Next he arrives at crossroads: one road to northeast by east toward exit from starting zone and one road to south. Yog goes south, flagging a Gem Pond, one Orc Tower, one Wolf Pen and visits a Water Wheel, arriving at Bryce the Seer who asks for Orb of Inhibition (see image for location). Next he flags another Wolf Pen and clears a Naga Bank, a Medusa Stores and a Dragon Fly Hive (here receiving 4 Wyverns; very useful and needed). Lastly Yog goes on the road to exit, flagging one ALchemist Lab and one Goblin Barracks, visiting a Mystical Garden.

Yog goes toward northwest, defeating any Tan hero he encounters, until arrives to Edgewater (Fortress; level 1-7 creature generators, Citadel, City Hall) and conquers it. Following this battle, Yog should attain level 18 and Tan should be defeated; if not, does not matter. Yog then goes eastward through swamp, visits Hut of the Magi (shows an island near western edge of map, island separated in four parts, each part having one Orb; see image), then continues towards east until arrives in northeastern coener of map where is a Hydra Pond and flags it. If Tan was not defeated with the conquest of Edgewater, here should have retreated the last (wimpy) Tan hero(es).
