Alcatraz was way more fun than I expected. A lot easier, too. They're basically "What if Castus but good?" The trick I found was to have an army of EITHER pirates or rogues and deploy them according to the circumstance. rogues are extremely fast, have a ranged attack, and are very fast on every terrain except water, which pirates are fast on. Group formation, disable their melee attacks, and kite the enemy forever. You even outspeed lizards in the swamp. For the tougher fights (like Gug & Lion, the later of which was by far the hardest to fight because of all the mages), bring Dina or whoever else you've got. You've got a big variety of heroes to begin with and can recruit more, but none of the stupid OP ones. Wishbone's special is also very potent.
Also, their starting location might be the best in the game; you can take out the Fevnir nights EASILY on turn two with Dina before they take even a single location, and then you have NO ONE immediately threatening you for a good few turns while you grab everything and instantly catapult to strongest force on the continent. The entire region between Castus and Gug is uncontested, giving you free EXP, and making it easy to take out Gug early on. Arsonia Fort or w/e. I had a permanent safety net between Frogland and Alfheim by just not taking the fort that borders the forest, so I was safe to expand into Cunitz.Also, Dina is by FAR best girl. her storyline is so fucking cute and I will fucking never forgive the dev for not letting us have her alt dress as a toggle. also Rex is the biggest faggot in the game.
