Posts from Warlock – “Clan Leader” [Campaign 4, Mission 1]

upgraded the town, captured all the mines – I can only access certain locations…
but there’s no entrance to the dungeon where the tournament is supposed to be held??? :(
where can I find this entrance?

Time will pass, and you will be automatically transferred there after the preparation period. Along with the troops that are with the hero.

And here's my advice: don't jump right into the thick of it. Beat up one or two of the weakest ones and step aside. Let them eat each other, and you'll be left with just one battered one. Then you can calmly beat him, take the ring, and you'll be happy! :)

You can avoid fighting anyone at all. Just skip your turn, and one of the leaders will kill the others, and then you can defeat him, since your army remains intact.

That’s what I did, although it took me three tries...

Fact: 90% of people have been searching for the portal in the last month.

...:::I had a problem with gathering gold... My army is stationed in the Castle, but I have nothing to buy with ;)))):::...

The solution is all written in the task! You need to read carefully...
The lack of money is easily solved.
To the southeast of the city, there is a gold mine; you need to capture it as soon as possible, and then you will have enough money to buy your units. Kill as many neutrals as possible to increase your level. And in the tournament, I defeated and killed everyone; experience is never superfluous.

But there’s a level restriction there… I came to the tournament already at the maximum level and just quietly watched from the sidelines, only killing the last Barbarian (8)).

Exactly... I would have liked to gain more experience, but Railag was already at his maximum level, so what was the point of wasting troops? I should note that the smart AI only attacked me after it had defeated all the other opponents... apparently, it was afraid until the very last minute of the battle. :smile30:

Started this mission. Looked at the hero's ability and was pleased – a true opposite of Agrael. Then I looked at the starting skills and cursed for a long time. He starts with one of three skills (defense) that I wasn't planning on leveling up. At least they didn't give him light or darkness. But there's nothing I can do, I'll have to play through with defense.

There, one of the missions is among the easiest ones – I completed it effortlessly in about 10 minutes. I simply captured the mine and sawmill right away, visited all the upgrade locations that weren't heavily guarded – only a small part of the map was revealed. In the town, I built a Capitol, a Castle, and recruited all creatures up to the Twilight Witch. I only upgraded the Assassins; the rest remained unupgraded. On the first day of the fifth week, I bought everything I could afford – a couple of Assassins were left over. Then, I was teleported to the portal and jumped through it. The main thing is to move a few steps away from it when you're teleported to the Dungeon. The enemy heroes are scripted to a specific point near the portal, and when no one is there, they fight each other. And the remaining hero is usually defeated in an auto-battle with minimal losses.

As for secondary skills, in addition to defense (which, frankly, I don't know why he needs), I chose Chaos Magic, Summoning Magic, Education (+ Mana Attraction), and Enchantment (although I only reached the Cultist level with Enchantment). But by the end of the first mission, the foundation was laid, and by the end of the second, both magic skills were upgraded to level three. And "Summon Phoenix" saved me a couple of times in "Cultist." Although, in general, I didn't really need "Summoning Magic," and I could manage without it.

Even though I wasn't playing on the highest difficulty, I noticed that not everyone managed to build a strong (full) army. So, I defeated two tough opponents and passed the turn. One of those tough opponents defeated a weak one and attacked me, while the others fought amongst themselves, leaving only me and one other tough opponent.
In short, on a medium difficulty level, you can defeat all the AI opponents; the main thing is to act quickly before they start fighting each other.
As for development, it's optimal to plan your strategy so that you have enough money and can build a strong army.

I'm going to level up my hero in a similar way (I already have Magic and Chaos skills). Only instead of Sorcery, I want to take Attack.

Fellow heroes! I want to warn you about a mistake I made. Don't take the Railaga magic skill for summoning! He doesn't need it at all; Chaos is more than enough. I didn't use summoning even once during the entire campaign. Ideal build: Defense (it's actually useful; the troops need to hold out while the hero takes care of everyone), Logistics (it's worth leveling up for all heroes), Chaos, Sorcery, Education (you'll have a lot of mana, and the stats will be much higher).
