Warlock – “Cultist” [Campaign 4, Mission 3]

They aren't worth keeping at all. On 1-2-1, buy up the troops and run to that Castle which is next to the Dragon Utopia in the northwest. And it's preferable to take the Dragon Utopia before the opponent. As for the money? To hell with it, they'll give you some in the Dragon Utopia.

No, well, I actually built up an army there, periodically clearing out the blue units coming out toward those cities, and when they (seemingly) had no particularly powerful heroes left (I bought out a couple of lvl 18-19 guys) - I left Shadi in one Castle and went North with Agrail. And for some reason, the blues just calmly surrendered all their cities one by one. And here's an interesting point: it turns out you don't actually have to kill the demons; if Railag takes the last 7th castle, the mission is still considered complete, except apparently that you end up getting fewer points for this Campaign in the Top-10 games :smile13: And therefore, before taking the 7th, it makes sense to finally get Shadi out of the capital and go up to clear those 3 brigades of demons led by Grol, and only then take that castle. Another trick here is that they both gain an extra lvl if you haven't reached the max for some reason. Well, in my case, they finished with 26 and 25 respectively.
P.S. I play on Recruit, because a game should bring pleasure, not stress :rolleyes: version 1.60
