New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?
Hello, I'm really enjoying the campaign, and I'm playing as a hero, and I have a question. In the second mission, at sea, near the drowned peasant, I found a tome of dark magic. Was this intentional, or was I just lucky?
Hello, I'm really enjoying the campaign, and I'm playing as a hero, and I have a question. In the second mission, on the sea, near the drowned peasant, I found a tome of dark magic. Was this intentional, or was I just lucky?
Main heroes: Sandro, Markel, Lucretia
In the second one, it's probably better to send Markel on expeditions; even though he's an apprentice, his ability to gather native creatures through leadership kind of hints at it.
The Sea Cartographer only reveals water that you have most likely already explored. To be honest, during the campaign testing, I forgot to mention how useless this structure is in its current location.
There are no missions in the campaign where Markel is alone. But by the fourth mission (he also appears in the third), it's better to have him somewhat leveled up. The main focus should be on Sandro and Lucretia.
). Markel did a great job overall; I developed his base correctly, taking the Herald through diplomacy and adding 2 stacks (devils, vuths, and warmongers in the Dungeon – a super treacherous Dungeon), turning them into his minions. He then went to switch places with Sandro. I'm still hesitant to land on the islands with the horde, as they also have a cheaty Fort on the hill and dwellings. Luckily, they just chase around the sea and didn't attack the Castle with their main forces.They changed Markel's special ability; he's not overpowered anymore.
Thank you so much for the tactical information! I was right on the mark, leaving Markel's chests and Phoenix untouched for Sandro

I noticed this... which is not good, but diplomacy + the Herald will help to mitigate this problem. Since on the second map, the number of creatures that can be taken for dark energy after a battle has clearly been manually reduced.
You really seem to be having good luck with the Orcs; they usually visit your castle around weeks 2-3 in "Hero" difficulty.
I don't know why everyone is so upset about the second mission. I started it easily; the initial scouting only required a little bit of brainpower. Then I went underground, gained some experience, captured mines, and generally got settled. Meanwhile, Markel set out to sea, and luckily guessed that he needed to sail west. He found the Sphinx (failed the test, laughed at the 999 Phoenixes), reloaded the save, passed the test, took the hero's armor, and generally got himself sorted out.
Then an Orc arrived, but my army was already too strong for him, so he retreated (screenshots 1, 2) across the sea. I managed to get the old man to Srando, cell by cell, and transferred the army to him. The Orcs retreated home without a fight. I started clearing out the underground and a Demon appeared. I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN HIM PILLAGE. I replayed, ran to the castle.
THE DEMON ALSO RETREATED and went to the Orcs. While I was cleaning up the surrounding territories and the underground, the Demon had already thinned out the Orcs considerably and was left with a ragtag army (4). The Orcs also took a beating, and half of their army simply died. At the same time, I already had a legion of undead (5), while the Demon had only about 50 demons in total (6).
There's not much to tell after that; the Orcs huddled in the corners, hiding from my huge army, and I spent an hour, maybe even two, just clearing the islands of the remaining Orcs and collecting the buff tokens. Special thanks for the mentor.
From a story perspective, and especially the Eclipse element, I really liked it; everything is great, even better than the original Campaign, but the technical part let me down; the enemies defeated themselves!
