Later I found ways to overcome the priest problem. Later the enemy priests caused a lot of difficulty, converting all my troops I sent at them, and reconverting any of their troops I converted. The difficulty was high at first because of the initial need to get ashore and get the artifact. This is a case where the player can use the approach they like best. There is also the question of whether to keep the priest on the friendly shore, keeping him safer, but taking longer to heal, or whether to land both priests along with the hero on the beach head and have the hero return immediately to be healed. There is also the hero pop up, the hero pops out of the transport, wreaks havoc on the enemy, then pops back into the transport and escapes back to friendly shores to be healed by a priest. The priest pop up where you land a priest on the shore and convert an enemy, then pop back into the transport, which branches into two variations, first having the convert join you in the transport, and second sending the convert to attack his former troops. I could think of at least 4 different approaches right away. Having two priests, several transports, a battleship, several heroes of different types, and later more troops as you discover to the East, this creates a fascinating fox/goose/grain puzzle. You can stop it by wresting away the Artifact from the rather weak enemy directly across the river. The main thing you need to do first is stop the countdown.
