Watched it all the way through – it’s the most interesting one so far. I watched the hybrid battle to the end without rewinding – it was still easier than fighting 5000 dragons :)
I’m glad you liked it, but IMHO, the battle against the Griffins with their ability to hide, poisonous attacks, and high mobility was much more difficult than this one. I tried to fight it with a Phoenix (I only have one – from a place where “fear makes things look bigger”), Griffins, and Hydras (naively hoping for their high regenerative ability), but I only succeeded with Vultures.
By the way, an interesting battle turned out with the Demoness near the dungeon (it lasted only one turn) – there, that nasty creature, based on the principle of “beat your own so that others are afraid,” used Armageddon, which killed more than 20 of my Griffins and also damaged her own troops, and I finished off her army with a Meteor Shower. All other options led to greater losses – the Griffins became visible, and she inflicted much more damage with destructive spells and attacks from creatures summoned from the rift than vampirism could heal.
I killed the yellow player in two stages with a Red Witch – first, I sacrificed 7 Griffins, destroying almost all of his army with destructive spells (except for the Golden Golems – magic doesn’t affect them), then I retreated and finished off the Golems and the player with the main forces without any losses in the next turn.
The battle on the island for artifacts with two legions of Manticores and a legion of Mummies also turned out to be very easy – I controlled one group of Manticores and used them to defeat the Mummies, turned the others into Berserkers, and set them against each other – my Vultures finished off the remaining ones (and the hero revived them, reducing their health).
Another memorable battle – for the artifact for swimming, I fought it with a Barbarian, whom I defeated during the assault on the Claw, and then hired. There, I used the obtained Wyverns – they pecked everyone to death except for one Air Elemental, and then I just waited for them to regenerate to their initial numbers.
Unfortunately, I can’t upload these replays – I forgot to record them, but I found replays of the Claw’s skirmish and the Orcish Outpost, which requires Mercury.
