Unicorn Empire

I completed the 5th map on “Warrior” difficulty in 3 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days. It’s a good map, enjoyable to play on any difficulty level. The timeline is roughly the same as on “Hero” difficulty, but the battles are easier. Since I used an old save, after capturing the first flying castle, Andrias became a level 1 hero. This time, I kept the “Foundations of Machines” artifact. The starting army was enough to completely defeat the Tower faction. When the first caravan with reinforcements arrived in the city, the purple faction disappeared from the map. The mages were quiet throughout, doing nothing. I didn’t see any moving orange heroes. Many mines and dwellings were not captured, although there was usually no guard around them. The castles were built very poorly. In the castle closest to the human city, only a Stronghold and three upgraded dwellings were built. The second castle had two more un-upgraded dwellings. The idea of using Titans in the human army was immediately discarded. In the final, Menelaus, with 4 Machines for Andrias, captured the ballista, so I had to abandon the cart. (I could have removed the tent, but then the cart would have come under the control of a mage, which I considered a bad option). The final on “Warrior” difficulty turned out to be even more intricate compared to “Hero,” as my archers ran out of ammunition very quickly. I didn’t get any significant artifacts, especially those that increase the initiative of creatures. Although I arrived about 10 days earlier compared to “Hero,” Menelaus’s army was almost the same. (“H” number of creatures 7→level 1: 33, 62, 131, 196, 346, 521, 625. “W”: 33, 62, 125, 175, 319, 477, 560). The replay of the final on “Warrior” difficulty is attached.
