A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

1. How do I make random maps available?

You need to create some files, but I recommend downloading a good version of Death Breath 3.2 or Complete Collection 4.0 (Platinum Edition).

2. What patches need to be installed for

faster/easier gameplay (faster army movement, etc.)?
To speed up the game, use the Cranim.txt file - it increases the speed of monsters during combat.
For faster army movement, use the TE (Tournament Edition) version, but that's a completely different story.

3. What does Expert Berserk do and against whom does it work?

Berserk forces any unit to attack the nearest unit, regardless of whether it is friendly or hostile. By default, it affects all units except those with immunity to: level 4 magic (Dragons, elementals), fire magic (phoenixes, efreets, elementals), and mind spells (undead, golems, titans).

4. How to properly use units (enemies do not respond to the attack)?

Wait, attack, move away, etc.

5. Is Mysticism a completely useless skill?

It's useful, but only in the first week, no more.

5. Pathfinding - I understand, should it move faster along the roads?

No. Pathfinding removes the penalty for moving through difficult terrain.
Basic - stones
Advanced - snow, desert
Expert - swamp

6. Bone dragons attack and age the enemy, what does "age" mean?

An aged unit has 50% health.

7. Zombies from the same Necropolis, what spell do they cast after attacking?

The PLAGUE spell. It reduces attack and defense by 2. It lasts for 3 rounds.

8. Is there any way to sell found artifacts on the black market?

Not on the black market. Only in artifact merchants, which can be built in the Tower, Dungeon, and Conflux. There is a special option there.

9. Water magic - is it useful?

Yes, it is. Spells like blessing, healing, dispel, and of course, prayer and clone are very effective. In general, water magic is good because of its versatility. It works well against any magic.

10. How to conduct complex battles. It is very difficult to imagine and understand this even with screenshots, is it possible to find a tutorial video somewhere? And are there recordings of games from tournaments, and where can they be found?

Someone made a video a long time ago....

11. Basilisks and medusas turn enemies to stone upon direct attack, under what condition? Is it random?

Random. The probability is 20%.

12. Capitol, I understand, is only built by noobs? All the money is earned in battles.

Exactly.

13. Everyone talks about the Alliance of Angels, what is the probability of actually finding this artifact?

If there are many utopias, the probability is high. The main thing is to find the armor.

14. First Aid - is it a useful skill?

G

15. I don't understand the top settings in random maps:
- only computer players
- only computer teams...
it's not clear, how do I make 2 colors of allies so that they can be chosen?

You can set it up in the settings. Either a human or a computer can play for a given color, or only a computer. Setting up alliances on random maps is very difficult. You can set 4 players and 2 teams, but who will be allied with whom will be determined randomly
