Regarding breaking through the ogre mages and capturing the hive...
In my opinion, it's theoretically possible to break through the ogre mages by using the terrain and clever positioning of the sprites, BUT: 50 sprites deal 100-150 damage to ogres, and there are 5 mages in the group, which is 300 hit points. If the sprites always deal maximum damage, then the battle can actually be won without losing any sprites, by taking out the enemy's retaliation with sprites or by getting lucky at the right moment. But capturing the hive... Either the save is glitched, or the player was cheating. Maybe it was a combination of both :). To capture a hive with 6 sprites and only sprites, without losing a single one. And not only that, but all the air units and dwarves are also intact:eek:.
Misha, why don't you try capturing the hive, losing only the sprites!!! So that ALL the sprites, ALL the dwarves, and ALL the air units remain alive!!!
Just have the girl describe the battle step by step, and that's it. The save isn't necessary.

And who started saying that the hive was captured with sprites? There were also archers involved. Capturing the hive isn't a problem at all. But fighting the ogre mages is risky. By using the terrain, you can win the battle, but it would be more reliable to upgrade the archers. 2nd - there could have been 50 of them, then it's a loss. Smoke, let's have daily updates so people don't worry.
