MIDERTH3AGE.MX2

Hi everyone. This is the best map I've ever played. It was quite challenging. I spent almost a whole day playing it, about 13 hours. I managed to complete it in 145 days. I'll write down what I did while it's still fresh in my mind. It's difficult, especially at the beginning of the map. I was lucky, and I got an Expert Diplomat skill very early on. I recruited all the Orc archers and upgraded them for free to Orc Chieftains. The difficulty comes from the fact that on the fifth day, 9999 gold and 10 of each resource are taken away. I somehow managed to save up enough to upgrade to a Knight's Castle. I took the Elven and Barbarian castles. The biggest problem was that Blind and Slow spells only appeared somewhere in the middle of the game, as well as Dimension Door. Without it, it's almost impossible to win (or it takes a very long time). There aren't many artifacts, but there are all the important ones, including the Armor of Anduran, a compass, boots, and leather shoes. The Fire Elemental spell appeared in one of the castles. This was a real lifesaver because even True Resurrection doesn't help much, as there are almost no Titans. I had to recruit trolls, and in the end, I had 800 of them. The most interesting part was, of course, at the end. The purple and red players were holed up in castles with a full complement of troops. There was no way to take them, except to wait until I had a large army gathered from all the castles. The purple player was tough. He had 500 dragons and 4000 witches, plus other creatures. I dealt with the witches and other creatures by taking Phoenixes and using them as bait for the dragons. The dragons would attack, and in the process, they would kill their own creatures. But even so, I didn't have enough troops to kill 500 dragons. I had about 15 Djinns. In the end, I used them to attack the purple player's dragons until he had about 250 left. Then I finished him off with Elementals. Each summoning produced 250 Elementals. The red player was even tougher. He had 1000 Djinns, 1500 Archmages, 250 or 500 dragons, and 500 Titans. In the end, I cast Berserk on his own Djinn, and it halved the Titan's health twice, and the Djinn was reduced to 200 health. I then attacked the dragons with my own Djinns several times until he had 65 dragons, 5000 Hydras, 200 Djinns, and 60 Titans. I had 800 trolls, 800 archers, 1500 Hobbits, and 100 Druids. He had 29 points of defense. In the end, I cast Berserk on 5000 Hydras, and they destroyed 60 Titans in two hits. I then destroyed the dragons outside the castle with trolls and Elementals. And then I easily overwhelmed the 5000 Hydras, reducing their defense. In general, the author is a genius. Usually, you would gather a few dozen Titans and simply crush everyone with them, resurrecting them. It always worked because Titans are very durable. But on this map, they were hard to get. I had to come up with a non-standard strategy. This is truly the best game out of all the maps I've played. And I've played them all from the internet.
