As a matter of fact I managed to kill the turtle at day 2, about 6:40-something in the morning; army used 42 bowmen; 8 archmages; 2 thorn hunters; Hero was lvl 4, and I only used spells haste and battle cry; both mages and thorns were split into 2 groups, for telekinesis x2 and thorn spawn cycling. So at 7:10 on day 2, I am baron with 2600 leadership - nice start to try to beat my previous highscore
