Ranger - "Higher Vampire" [5th Campaign, 5th Mission]

Doesn't Railag have Astral Gates??? :smile07: And tell me, why wait until you have 600 archers??? I think I already posted a screenshot of the battle.... Because the longer you wait, the more skeletons Koly has, and then dragons start appearing in kilobits per week...

I didn't really wait. I cleared all the surrounding areas, including capturing all the mines, equipped myself with artifacts, and wandered around in the Dungeon a bit. That's how I built up my army. One hero carries unupgraded troops from the eastern Castle to the western Castle, and another, who has logistics skill upgraded, carries troops for Faidaen. And Faidaen returned to the Castle a couple of times to change his sworn enemies. There were 4 stacks of 120 Undead/Death Knights in one place. So I specifically returned to the Castle to make both of them enemies. I defeated them using a rain of arrows charged with Earth Shock.

The more skeletons Koly has, the more experience Fedya will gain. But if dragons start appearing in kilobits per week, I'll load an earlier save, visit the level-up trainers, and quickly finish the mission.

I'm also thinking about borrowing 120 dragons from Daedra before storming Vlad's Castle. It's unlikely that I'll be able to lure him into an open field. My Faidaen doesn't have logistics.

In the patched game, there is no "Astral Gate" spell in either your own or captured Castles. Only in this mission did the developers forget to remove it from the Necromancer Castles. Or maybe they didn't forget, but left it intentionally. I don't know if it will be in Campaign 6. My heroes will definitely have it.

And why does Railag need Astral Gates? All the garrisons can be defeated without losses, or with minimal losses. At least in version 1.41.
