Ranger - "Higher Vampire" [5th Campaign, 5th Mission]

probably it's better not to touch Nicholas until you've cleared the entire map (killed all the dragons) and leveled up, although the first time I killed Nicholas, he was level 13, and a couple of weeks later he was already level 29...

By the way, you won't be able to avoid fighting Nicholas: he provokes the first encounter himself. He kept running after me (a crazy maniac :smile04:), even though his army was much weaker than mine. And he appeared with a rather impressive army.
