Not bad with the charm :) But what's left of the resources? How about increasing magic to level 4, with the Vampire skill and building Vampires, or even an Armory – will there be enough resources? Or will you use Fairies instead of Vampires later?

Look, Beastmaster earned himself some Fairies :) And Fairies are pretty good in the fourth game. But what will he do next without resources? Okay, let him test this option. I still want Vampires :)
Hello everyone!
I certainly won't use Fairies instead of Vampires; I want to use both whenever possible. However, the development path with Fairies seems more appealing to me:smile01:
1. First, with Fairies, the hero's movement range increases to 29 steps, while with Demons, it's only 28.
2. Second, even with just one Fairy, it's much easier to defeat Skeletons than with three Cerberi; Fairies don't have to awkwardly run away from Skeletons.
3. Third, Fairies move far and faster than others, so they'll reach different necessary locations, such as the Graveyard. Moreover, they can defeat many enemies along the way, unlike Cerberi.
I agree that to recruit them, I had to spend almost all my resources on the first day. Specifically, 1000 gold went to the Tower of Darkness 2, and 2000 gold went to buying the Mage Solmyr (who, by the way, initially knows the spell "Mirage" and will later learn "Slow" in the Jaro, which I think will be very useful, and, let's face it, you always need a hero to capture enemy fortresses, even if it's just a Vampire corpse that you can carry around without any problems). So, sooner or later, everyone will buy a second hero.:smile08:
At the end of the first day, I have 4 crystals, 3 sulfur, 8 ore, and no gold left.
Now about Vampires, I'll have them around the middle of the third day, but they won't be quite real Vampires yet. I'll make them slightly stronger by turning Skeletons into them, giving them the Vampire Strike skill and the Aura of Fear. I'll use them to defeat Medusas; Medusas don't like to shoot at Skeletons, as they have high resistance to arrows. Moreover, Medusas in groups of more than 8 can almost always cast "Petrify" on anyone except the undead, and Skeletons are just that. In principle, Vampires can also be made from Demons, but Medusas shoot them down quite well.
On the second day, of course, I need 1000 gold for the Tower of Darkness 3. That's why I have to clear the Tiger's Glade; there's enough money to build the Tower of Darkness 4 on the third day without any problems. And at the end of the third day, I'll naturally own the treasures of the Orcs (4500 gold) and all the resources lying around the Nomads, plus a chest with 2000 gold and some other loot. So, there should definitely be enough money for a Mausoleum, so, ideally, by the beginning of the 5th day, I should definitely have two real Vampires hanging around. They cost 1100 gold each, so you can see how much money is needed to acquire such an escort.:eek:
I'll definitely have to build a Kennels, but in my version, only on the fourth day.
At the end of the second day, by the way, I have 869 gold, 18 wood, 2 crystals, and 2 sulfur left, so the economy seems to be doing well.
Today, I'll try to work through the third day specifically and test my calculations.
Good luck to everyone in the game!:smile01:
