Jurassic Kamikaze
The stategie consist in bomber, raptors and cemitery. When you put a raptor adjacent a bomber, the combined velocity make the bombers reach on enemy front line almost instantly, that combined all the explosion area, that, depending on the dificulty and the year, kill the front line interly, with the imps of pagoda and the cemitery kill the remaining units. For use this tatic with a maximum eficiency, use the decree firework the perk explosive and the tome Haste in the bombers. Use Blacksmith and Temple help a lot for extend the run, because this strategie could failed before the year 100.
