MrLucefer,
Questions.
1. Tell us how you played, the plot, who, how many, where.
2. What good artifacts did you use, where were they located, how did you get them.
3. Which town did you start with.
4. Which Heroes did you have.
5. Was turn management used.
6. What was the most difficult.
1. In short, in order: here are the step-by-step saves http://zalil.ru/33778693, after watching them everything will become clear.
In brief:
3. Started with Castle (though it doesn't matter which one you start with, since I barely built any structures in towns).
2. I restarted until more or less acceptable artifacts appeared (Mod (77,60) and Book of Air (95,92), Speaker's Hat (62,51), Cloak of the Undead King (82,94), Wings (21,107)).
Of course I wanted Crunch and Wings closer, but they wouldn't all appear together.
4. The starting hero was Shakhti, I took him for breaching the Angel Nest, but never used him, I didn't have enough gold.
Later I needed a Diplomat (Kira) to build the army, Luna to get the Speaker's Hat, Vidomina for raising Liches, and Air Mages to capture castles (Aenain and Brissa).
5. I barely used turn management, since I had Wings and Fly, plus I dismissed heroes at the end of each turn and recruited them the next day with full movement and mana.
6. The most difficult was starting in conditions of gold shortage. That's why I wrote that I should have generated artifacts for gold.
I have 3 questions:
1. Was the same hero hired multiple times in one day?
2. Why is the red player's starting hero a MINER?
3. What changes were made to the map?
1. There was no hiring of dismissed/killed own heroes on the same day
2. Why Shakhti? Honestly don't know. I restarted and after some time he started appearing. I decided to take him for breaching the Angel Nest, but it wasn't needed.
3. I made no changes. I selected artifacts exclusively through restarts.
P.S. The decisive factor in the speed of completion is the generation of REQUIRED artifacts in the REQUIRED locations, but I assume this is either barely feasible or would take too much time. I myself spent about half an hour on generation, after which I decided to settle on the first more or less acceptable option.
