Nah, academy can still move damn fast. Tried another game on let's fight and they simply move from neutral to neutral not slowing at all.
Try both towns week 1(secondary gets the second) and two lvl 7 week 2. If you defeat the tier 7 horde near town and the tier 7 that guards the hill fort you gain resources. About the secondary it goes without saying that you must level up a bit, maybe get a ballista and warmachines or get to the mercenary camp before you reach the town.

Tried it with Vittorio as a main. There are some issues about it.
One: if you go and take the secondary town with your main you miss the fights from the mines and level up slower than planned. So secondary heroes must take both towns: that's really a matter of luck, depending on what hero you get and what guardians are there
Second: A trip to the second town wastes one day. The way back to town/subteranean.
Third: You must reach level 18 week 2 and defeat the Wraiths: I just don't know how:
My current strat involves, defeating the mines, getting eventual witch huts and chests, going into the subteranian, take the angel dwelling, go into the cave with campfires and lots of creeps and kill all those. With the level up tree I got to level 16 end week 2. So no 18. Also Flaming Arrows was not offered so far. I kept getting Basic Leadership instead of Attack.
Fourth: How the hell could you build 2 lvl7 and 2 castles week 2? I mean, with Haven is costs minimum: 90 wood and 90 ore, if counting the cavalier buildings too.
Fifth: How do you defeat that horde of level7s? I mean, cyclops or spectrals I understand, but what if there are crystal dragons?
And why am I always that unlucky and not getting Flaming Arrows when I want them?
I skip footmen, should I skip griffins too in both towns?
EDIT: What the hell is this website telling me that I cannot make more than 20 posts in 24 hours?????
Ok. I will answer here: In week 1 I normally take both towns, mines, and the lvl 7 dwelling(there's only one - the other one is lvl5)
But: to defeat the Wraiths with Haven, you desperately need the right skills: i.e. Flaming Ballista with Vittorio. So leveling up is essential.
I am asking what buildings should I aim for at the end of different weeks. Right now I'm trying:
Week 1: Castle + City Hall Town1, City Halls other towns
Week 2: 2nd Castle + lvl 6 and 7 first town, maybe cavaliers in the second

He was talking about Let's fight, not hourglass. On HG is not so necessary to get level 18 in day 10. I attack the wraiths for example at level 15 or so. You concentrate too much on levels and auxiliary things. Just get what skills/army stats you need to break the wraiths.

Actually I was talking about hourglass. Things is that I never tried to get both second lvl 7 AND second castle week 2. Plus I have only tried that with one faction 3-4 times, I am hardly an expert.

Castle I meant the growth dwelling, not town 
To not totally derail the thread here's a handy trick against rune patriarchs with academy: http://www.speedyshare.com/256457597.html

Okrane, you need specific skills with any faction and its up to you to find them. What buildings you buy, another thing that you must try on your own because its really player-dependent. So, after you figure out what you need to take out those wraiths, you will figure out what to build also.

have 17 more in town, but did not buy due to money needed for 3 castles and the dragon building
So at the end of week 2 you're aiming for 3 castles and 1 lvl 7 building?
3 castles and 2 dragons for sylvan on end of week2 ..
THe rest is 2 level 7s
Don't bother building too much if you're haven, just stand the money to train ur paladins

Which incidentally makes sure people cannot spam too much  No I know that you are not the type but others are and this kinda forces people think their posts through in a quality vs quantity manner. Though 25 might have been better.

This one is pretty fun. It's just cool to see 13 titans take down 20 blackies, about 300 assassins and 15 lava dragons Mini artifacts and summoning/light aid.
That's the garrison from fiur's dragon hill, and when a player attacks it the opponent can control it  Good concept, you can't exploit things as with the AI to break faster.

Maybe only dungeon and necro have a chance for such a fight 
I think it would have worked better if you had killed the fire elementals before the water elementals

The battle is more or less a sure win, depends on the number of elementals that appeared.. 20 and its a flee
