Tips for development in the game.

I don't know how it is on XL, but splitting your armies and relying on the same strategy won't likely lead to victory with a Sorceress. In Heroes 3, I used to crush the AI on this map with a Knight, just like on a Pawn in WoG! WoG is different, though; the AI is much stronger, and playing against it on a Knight at S or M difficulty is almost suicide. I think a difficulty of 200 and a Sorceress in WoG 3.58f is only appropriate for L and XL, otherwise, by week 2-4, the AI will come at you with creatures upgraded to 2 swords and level 8 monsters. It simply levels up unrealistically fast. You'll barely get on your feet, and it will attack. A Knight is better for larger maps or for the strongest players (if the maps are small).
P.S.: You can definitely survive playing as a Knight =). But a Sorceress on a small map:eek: After Heroes 3, I switched to WoG. I was just sitting there in shock, not understanding what was happening, but the WoG map strategy worked.
P.P.S.: I haven't played as a Sorceress in a long time; I should try it sometime.
