Anything is possible — you could just ask me, right? I don't bite if you really want to know. Actually, it's all pretty mundane: at the end of each day I put on a sack, and by the in-game date everything becomes clear. I spent a very long time running around the underground to collect everything)
No, I don't use cheats — how could you suspect me of such an evil deed, good sir?)) Because what would be the point of playing and writing up everything then?) Let me put it this way: I only used cheats after finishing the map, and then only to kick Grok's ass — especially since there was mention of a nice bonus, and I couldn't just walk past that. I understand you probably didn't intend for him to be killable... But he's too smart in my opinion, and by "too" I mean COMPLETELY CHEATING)
- Tried without cheats using the Hunters, but no matter what I did, Grok places units under me with his first or second gate, provided they get a turn at all — and it doesn't matter which direction; left, right, up — Grok knows everything. Besides the stats shown on screen, he also has "Urgash's Call." If not for that, we could have had a fight...
- Only a couple of times did I manage to save the Hunters, but I simply lack enough casts to break apart the main stacks. Banishment isn't effective, but for the sake of general development, I couldn't help but check what we'd get there....
- Whether it took long or short, with cheats I gathered armies, won through auto-battle, and got a pleasant message (not verbatim, but the gist): "Raelag, great leader, you defeated the enemy with such a small army; the red dragons acknowledge you," and something like "we found a portal bypassing Sareta." Well, 100 red dragons is certainly a cool bonus, but unattainable in a regular playthrough.... A shame, but at least I saw it, and I'm satisfied with that)
- Didn't fight Sareta because, as I mentioned earlier, it wouldn't make any difference)
Oh yes, in my understanding, I've squeezed the maximum out of this map. I'll go find something else to sink my teeth into, or maybe not — we'll see how it goes....
Did I understand correctly that to better grasp the story, I should play Dark Messiah? (At minimum — and that's a standalone game)
Thanks again, and if there's a chance when the sequel comes out*if possible) I'd love to be among the first to play))(Yeah, a bit bold of me, but I couldn't not say it)
Alright, forget about those resources)
Grok can actually be beaten... But on a lower difficulty where Raelag's army is bigger, I think. The guy was added as a joke, so he shouldn't be taken seriously. I just didn't want the red player to show a missing hero in the map selection menu.
Dark Messiah is a cool, albeit slightly janky game) I recommend giving it a try. It can hand you your ass even on normal difficulty, let alone higher ones. And yes, it's the canonical epilogue to Ashan's story.
I'll think about it, but beta versions usually aren't worth a walkthrough) For example, the beta of Shades was riddled with flaws. Like the boss at the start of the rift being not one but five or six XD Because I forgot to untick one checkbox
