I'm going to fire up the game (again) and send my legion against the
Indians. Let's see what happens :)

Very true. I had 5500 people and 42 prosperity. Then I started making
statues etc. Anything they wanted to raise prosperity. The rating came
up to 46 and the people went down to 4500.

What I did was build a legion _before_ I connected with the last
bridge. When I connected I sent over the legion and wiped out all the
wolves. It worked.

If you figure out how to win this level _do_ post the answer here!

You did. I also find it poor to not be able to proportionate my
workers. Maybe a slider type of thingie instead of a check box for
on/off

But not much more 'reasonable'. The game is hard. And that's a good
thing.
