Now, in the fifth game, I'm following the same path: from elves to dark elves.
And regarding defending the castle? Doctor, have you ever been hit in the head by a hero with ARMAGEDDON in the Dungeon with the Grail? If you are offered this, DO NOT AGREE! I swear, at that moment, I didn't expect such an effect (the dragon doesn't care, it doesn't care);)
And I have never won with the Tower!!!

by the way, against the Necropolis, the main weapon is SPEED. My brother is obsessed with them, and I only beat him if I quickly find where he is. If I don't find him, I only rely on luck. In the sense that the higher the luck, the more chances to survive.:D
