Dragon Utopia. v. Haven
Following is a sample based guide how to take out Dragon Utopia with Haven troops during early weeks of the game (somewhere around week 1-4, depending on map and difficulty settings). This particular sample is based on the situation in week 4 on Heritage map, played from Heroic difficulty.
Such an attack might be successful only if the Utopia is guarded by less than 4 groups of dragons and only in cases where the battlefield obstacles are sufficiently helpful. Therefore always before attacking utopia with main hero, it is necessary to sacrifice one scouting hero. This scouting hero should check, firstly, the number of dragon stacks and their initial placement and, secondly, the terrain of the battlefield. Both of those things remain the same during one game.
1. Tactics phase before the battle. Main aim here is to tempt one of the dragon stacks to fly so close to Marksman that they will be able to perform Precision Shot immediately. Also Fire or Acid Breath attack should be avoided as much as possible.
2. The Black Dragon felt right into the trap. Simultaneously other dragons did not reach the ranks of our army yet.
3. The obstacles on the battlefield should be used as much as possible. E.g., here it is possible to avoid the attack of the Shadow Dragons in next turn. Albeit they can fly all the way across the battlefield in one turn with their speed of 9, yet they are fat 2x2 creatures as others from their kin, so it is possible to block any access to our army for their next turn.
4. The actions of the hero depends on what he/she has. Main priorities - Bless, Divine Guidance, Haste. If hero doesn’t have any of those, most likely course of action is direct attack. In this sample Rutger has Divine Guidance, so it is better to use “wait” until Marksman or Peasants will need to make a move as quickly as possible.
5. The moment of truth has come… Take a look at the damage range – albeit it shows that kills are from 2 to 5, in fact most likely outcome will be 5, because мах damage is enough to kill almost 10 Black Dragons.Also check the placement of the Peasants. While blocking access to Marksman is their primary goal, battlefield obstacles can be used to avoid Fire Breath attack on two Peasants simultaneously.
6. Shooting with Marksman is extremely careful business. Basically they should use their shot only when the dragons are within the Precise Shot range, otherwise its better to wait until the dragons will fly closer. Usually dragons will fly closer as fast as they will get turn, because Peasants, who guard Marksman, seems to be more important target than other Peasants.
7. If Spectral Dragons are the only ones that remain, it is better to move all peasants close together with Marksman in order to get Precise Shot for sure. If the Peasants don’t have anything better to do, don’t forget to press “wait” instead of “defense”.
8. Sounds of victory, smell of gold and more, and more ... :)

Author's notes:
Let's notice, that at each type of the hero is on 2 "main" skills with the greatest (15%) probability of receiving. The "forbidden" skills are not present absolutely, however is available on 4 skills with the lowest (2 %) chance of their receiving.
With increase of a level gets out 1 "new" skill, 1 skill "on upgrade" and 2 "new" abilities.
In the table the probability of receiving by the hero "new" skill (more precisely so - inside of group yet not received the hero skills goes "scaling" probabilities of their receiving).
Skill "on upgrade" gets out equiprobably among already received by the hero skills.
Both abilities get out also - equiprobably of what can be received at present.
