Walkthroughs for custom maps.

Which took longer, the final implementation or finding a winning strategy? If we're talking about the former, the Bunsenburg battle in Metatagser took over two hours (without turbo animation). If we're talking about the latter, I spent about 6+ hours on this first battle on the Knotty Quest map until I found a winning strategy.

Wow! The longest battles I remember were with Archdevils (around 150 or 200) against about 10-20 thousand Titans and 10-20 thousand Archdevils (I don't remember the exact number), which were on Thorgrim (immune to magic). I wrote about this battle on a Chinese map somewhere in this thread, in connection with the army overflow for the computer player during an event. There, I first had to make the Titans waste their shots (we held out using earth elementals), then we depleted Thorgrim's mana, then we made the elementals faster with speed and prayer, then we revived one rusty dragon on the battlefield, and it lowered the computer player's stack defense with its attacks, and only then did we revive the Archdevils, immediately hiding them behind a force field, then we killed Thorgrim's Archdevils, and only then the Titans. By the way, it might have taken up to 2 hours :)
