Discussion of the Academy faction (Mages and Wizards). Tactics and their specific features.

In this faction, the strongest are: Archmages, Djinn Sultans, Rakshasa Princesses, and of course, the Colossus!

You shouldn't talk like that... Let's take Archmages as an example: in some cases, they are more useful (in small numbers), and in others, they are an alt-upgrade (if there are many of them). And based on your post, you can assume that Golems are weak, as well as everything else you didn't mention, but that's not true.

PS Valgala, wait an hour, and I'll tell you everything!.

Valgala, I'll explain everything to you step by step... I'll be late for the courses, but I won't leave everything like this. Where did it all begin?...

Forgetfulness is good, plus slowing down.

I apologize... I just happened to find a cloak when I was playing this map.

I played like this against Mephisto, and I just posted my build, I was leveling up to SA there, but in the end, (we had a lot of shops on the territory), we simply bought all the Relics, and I got Sandro's Cloak, I quickly got to Hotabych (which was also on the territory), on the way I captured the Castle of Info, and in Hotabych I redid everything and made my perks like this:

1) Education
2) Dark Mage (forgetfulness, mass slowing, weakening of darkness) just in case you find Sandro...
3) Sorcery (wisdom and something else - for magic resistance)
4) Luck (magic resistance and sorcery luck)
5) Chaos Mage

On the way back, I cleared out the neutrals and managed to build a guild, and I found Forgetfulness there, and there was slowing down in the capital... I came across Maxim's post on the same day we were playing, so without thinking, I posted my build, forgetting that I had changed it when I got the cloak.

As for "hoping for the best," I'm not a very lucky person in life:(, so I never rely on luck, neither in the game nor in life!!! You can ask anyone who knows me, even Shadara!!!

Even the guild is built there in advance, based on the strategy for the game.

And it doesn't matter that all our resources went to the guild.

There are almost no resource problems on random maps!!! And I don't build the guild first, don't draw such conclusions! I don't understand, did your imagination suggest something?... Anyway: I don't take a school until I build a guild... (of course, not to the end: up to level 3...) And I clear out the neutrals like that, without good magic, of course, it's not easy, but it's not fatal!!! And you're talking about some kind of "hoping for the best"... And I build the guild after the main buildings.

PS Valgala, tell me, what else haven't I answered... I'll tell you something else in ICQ, but I don't see you here right now...
