Game go impossible after migrating from first island!

It would appear that I have misunderstood you. You were talking about the first 4-5 islands, while I assumed that by saying 70% of the guards can be kited and "In fact with a little luck, it is possible to get the maps for almost all the islands b4 you start clearing Debir!" meant that you were talking about getting all the maps from all the islands. Based on your luck with the maps you may be forced to do some pretty extensive travels (some lasting 12+ hours) - this is why I gave 6-7 days.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

If you manage to get yourself to the lizard island (Reha?) then you can pick up 10+ Tirex eggs to use on Bolo etc. Could have fun with those in the early game.

My thoughts exactly, this is why I continued analyzing and misunderstood travelingoz. Actually, if you do this little trick, you can end up with quite a bunch of eggs (snake, griffin, spider, etc.), thorn seeds, dragon eggs, t-rex eggs, etc., that you may not need troops for quite a while - in addition to that your troops will be so strong, that you will suffer very few losses in the early game, while the higher level from stealing, doing simple quests and such will ensure that you you have enough level and enough leadership carry at least 1-2 T-rex, dragons, etc.

Pretty catchy idea, it would certainly be worth trying and seeing whether it will pay off If it does, it will be extremely rewarding.

Trouble is, there are map guardians that just won't move - except if you go straight next to them, when they'll attack you and there is nothing you can do to avoid it.

In my game, Reahu was the last island I got to, and I had to defeat a lot of guardians to get the map (it was in Elona the elven island). I could get the maps to Rusty Anchor and Bolo, but the map to Verona was guarded by a Robber that would not move ever, only if I stepped next to it. And this repeated itself, so in the end I was around level 30 when i got to Reahu. Defeating certain guardians without losses was simply not possible below certain levels...

Yes, There are some guardians that don't track player, and the only way or removing them is conquring.

I detected that in "Hard" and "Impossible" mode, player lose a percent of experience after each win, and game don't allow the play to do level up.
But i think its better if in "Hard" or "Impossible" mode, enemies go stronger but player take more experience!
