And here’s a brief walkthrough:
Days 1-7: Eric the Shadow gathers all the chests in the area for experience. Darkstorm only gets the stones of knowledge. By the end of day 7, Darkstorm is a 4th-level mage, and Eric is a 10th-level rogue with 3rd-tier stealth and a 5th-rank scout.
1_2_3: Yanova is purchased, and Darkstorm helps her run around the stones of knowledge (on efreets). Eric is a 12th-level rogue with 4th-tier stealth.
1-2-4: Eric steals chests behind the water elementals, becoming a 13th-level rogue (he needs 4462 more experience points to reach grandmaster rogue).
1-2-5: Eric runs past the unicorns to get to a chest.
1-2-6: Eric takes the chest and a stone of knowledge, then heads for the chest at the guard post.
1-2-7: Eric, with 5th-level stealth, captures the gold mine behind the manticores and the gold mine in the green teleport.
1-3-1: Yanova and Darkstorm defeat the nomads and spearmen. Eric runs past the black dragons towards the regeneration armor and the chaos castle.
1-3-2: Darkstorm and Yanova make their way to the tree of knowledge. Eric runs towards the castle.
1-3-3: It’s not possible to take the chaos castle right away, so Eric first aims for the regeneration armor (with it, the chaos castle is captured easily and effortlessly ;-) ). Darkstorm and Yanova hang out near the magic schools.
1-3-4: Eric takes the chaos castle and heads for the boots near the pyramid. Darkstorm and Yanova are defeated by the efreets and end up in the town of Rose (on the turn, the satyrs are killed by them).
1-3-5: Eric, wearing the boots, heads for the red teleport behind the black dragons (he’s already a 15th-level rogue). We buy Kayri, and he, along with Darkstorm and Yanova, visits the stone of knowledge and runs to the tree of knowledge. Also, the leprechaun in the tavern (above the garrisons) buys Hagnar. Hagnar levels up, takes the bag of gold, and is killed by the elves in Rose.
1-3-6: Eric fights the tower of mages and targets two enemy orange heroes. Yanova and her companions clear the area near the castle.
1-3-7: The mages get in the boat. Eric defeats the poisonous creatures that the orange hero merged with. Yanova heads through the desert towards the barbarian castle. Hagnar heads for the chest with the sextant (above the chaos castle).
1-4-1: Eric captures the castle of death and heads for the ship’s log (there’s no boat yet, so there’s no rush).
1-4-2: Hagnar, with the sextant, runs to Rose. Yanova defeats the first group of earth elementals.
1-4-3: The mages are one day away from the drowning man with the level 1 spellbook. Eric runs through the red teleport. Yanova, Darkstorm, and Kayri are one day away from the castle of might. Hagnar runs to the castle of death. The ghosts pass the sextant to Eric.
1-4-4: Eric hangs out at the veterans’ guild, waiting for the mages to arrive. The castle of might is taken. On the turn, the red troops are killed by it.
1-4-5: Eric gets in the boat. It’s one day away from the green territory. Yanova corners the last red hero near the dwarf mines.
1-4-6: Eric lands near the green castle.
1-4-7: Eric captures Tragedy, runs up, and spends the night on the bridge. On the turn, the last red hero (who had previously fled from Yanova) kills himself against Eric. Yanova and her companions gather resources.
2-1-1: We gather resources and wait for the enemy to die on its own. Eric gets in the boat and tries to reach the green castle by sea.
2-1-2: Eric almost reaches the green castle. We exchange all the resources for mercury. On the turn, the enemies die on their own.
Difficult battles: 1) The battle with the poisonous creatures on the bridge before the castle of death: tactic – we summon wolves until the creatures run out of arrows, then we attack and retreat until the regeneration armor heals the health.
2) When capturing the green castle, I used a potion of cold (taken from the poisonous creatures on the bridge) – it cools down the dragon’s breath very well ;-)
By the end of the game, Eric is a 19th-level scout, Yanova is a 10th-level archer, Darkstorm is a 10th-level fire mage, and Kayri is a 6th-level archer.
