After 3hours and around 160k food collected, I finally did it. I completed Dracula's last mission on hard.

I used the strategy of u/StupidFatHobbit (abandon starting base and set camp at the Northeastern part of the map) after attacking the stone mines and lumberjacks and man it was still hard. Surely, even after 20 years I'm still a noob, but I couldn't believe that it would take so long.

Btw, I loved this map. Challenging as it should be on hard. It made me wonder how come there is not already a campaign like this (SFH's strat). When you are closed in a mountain and your only ways of expansion are either forward or cut through the forest.
