The most brutal thing is to defeat an army without flying units with 40 ice elementals, but with the Ballistics expertise... focus all your efforts on the ballista (well, "all" is an exaggeration – Armageddon, and use elementals to destroy it...). Then I was laughing so hard... "Air Shield" on the elementals, later I cast something from the defensive spells, and for dessert – I eliminated the enemy army over the course of half an hour...

An interesting approach, but how could you stay in the Castle with ice elementals and destroy the computer's army with Armageddon, because you wrote that you used defensive spells later?

P.S. The topic will not be renamed because its main idea is, based on your battles, posting SAVE files, and describing various battles, to create a "TOURNAMENTS: TACTICS OF GREAT VICTORIES"! So, will you keep mocking us for much longer? Where are the save files? After all, it is in the battles that "your combat tactics" can be assessed...

Ballista or Catapult? Because an expert in ballistics is someone who controls a catapult, not a ballista...

Here's one battle I had:
In my army: 25 gold dragons, 250 high elves, and 5 silver pegasi, plus a wagon, and I had to defeat 4000 diamond golems; the hero was level 17 - Mephala (or Mephalah - translations vary), about 16 skill points (I don't remember exactly), a decent amount of mana (slow spell was also available), and +1 morale; I won on the 20th try!
But how? - I don't understand myself; then I tried to repeat it - unsuccessfully :(

P.S. could you post something like this example with a save file? Or just a large-scale battle ;).

It's a good strategy to build with the Tower faction. Without Gremlins. Place Titans in the corners, and Achimedes in the center, and wait – your opponent will be forced to attack and DIE... Unless they are stronger or smarter.
A strange tactic... hmm... But what if they are actually stronger?

It's strange that he writes "without gremlins." And what do you suggest for sieging a Titan's Castle?

I personally love it when the computer gathers all the mines near the castle walls – I usually do this with gargoyles, but it's a pity that these mines eventually run out...

The main thing in this case is not to provoke the AI into using mass dispel

The best strategy when defending against a city siege is to eliminate the ballista first... and the game takes on a slightly different dynamic; it's a proven tactic that helps in 70% of cases, especially when playing against the computer

Yes, unless the computer uses Earthquake...

But in general, all means are good in war...:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

But why exactly 70%? Is this your random figure? And what if the enemy has all flying or ranged units? Please be more specific...:)

What would you suggest when besieging a Titan's castle?
It's very simple: there are many archers in the tower, and the magic is good...
When besieging a tower (including if the catapult is destroyed), there are several ways to cross the wall:
1) Use the Earthquake spell the required number of times.
2) Use Teleport (expert level).
3) Use units that can fly or shoot.
4) Who said that the attacker's magic is weaker? (destroy it with magic).

I prefer defending the swamp :p, besides, using the Remove Curses spell once eliminates the mines:smile34:

What confuses you? Well, 70 or 80, the person wanted to say that most of the time the opponent doesn't have what I listed above (1, 2, and 3 in the required quantity, and you can't even dream about 4:rolleyes:).

When was the last time that happened to you?:D

I mainly play as Dungeon. Often, at the beginning of the game, I buy Beholders and use them. I prefer the hero Dasa and, during a battle, I bring out Minotaurs last. I usually keep Minotaurs for creatures of level 7, cast the "Armageddon" spell, and then I don't retreat. I use magic moderately, casting 2-3 spells per turn.

I personally prefer defending the swamp :p, especially since you only need to use the spell removal once, and there are no mines:smile34:

But what does spell removal have to do with it? I said I like it, not that it's more effective..., although that depends on how you look at it ;), by the way, why specifically the swamp - the damage is the same, whether it's the swamp, Barbarians, etc.
ewgeniy;108197
And when was the last time that happened to you?:D

It's happened many times, depending on the mission or opponent, but more often in battles against enemies immune to fire

P.S. Could you upload a save file? - then we can discuss it :)

Ley;108471

Actually, it happens quite often – depending on the mission or opponent, but more often in battles against an enemy immune to fire.
I haven't seen that in a long time – when the enemy comes with exclusively flying units.
Ley;108471

P.S. Can you upload a save file? – and then we can discuss it :)
Which one exactly? Or should I upload one:D for clarity, 10, in seven of them the attacker doesn't have this:
1) earthquake, the required number of times
2) teleport (expert)
3) units that fly or shoot
4) and who said that the attacker's magic is weaker? (destroy with magic)
, to get 70%?:D :smile30:

Regarding the swamp – it's all very simple – there's an abyss there, 2 cells long, and everywhere else it's 1.
and about the mines... well, I already said... I don't like them:)

So what? Did you prove anything to anyone?
ewgeniy;108520
Which one exactly? Or should I post 10 for clarity? :D

Better make it around 70 :D
ewgeniy;108520
In seven of them, the attacker doesn't have this:
1) Earthquake used the required number of times
2) Teleport (expert)
3) Units that fly or shoot
4) And who said the attacker's magic is weaker? (destroy with magic)
, so that it's 70%?:D :smile30:

Okay, let's also add expert catapults and cyclops, don't forget about them :D
This isn't specifically about this battle, but since you insist:
Create, for example, one ranged unit of level 4-5, one flying monster, and an army that outnumbers the opponent threefold, and I forgot to mention an expert ballista :)
The defender has: expert artillery, all flying units except for 1 ranged titan - in short, so that not everyone can win this battle - and only then, using your own example, prove that you almost won as a knight. And teach someone with this battle as an example, describe it, and show your own tactics

Okay, let's add an expert catapult and some Cyclops as well, don't be stingy :D
Here's an example, not necessarily for this specific battle, but since you insist:
Create, for example, one ranged unit of level 4-5, one flying monster, and an army that outnumbers the opponent threefold. Oh, and I forgot to mention an expert ballista :)
The defender has: an expert artillery unit, all flying units except for one Titan archer – in short, make it so that not everyone can win this battle, and only then, using your own example, prove that you almost won as a knight. And you'll teach someone with this battle, describing it and showing your own tactics.
Okay, slow down a bit...
Let's break down the conditions more specifically. And what will the expert ballistics give if the catapult is destroyed? Cyclops... yes... but the computer often starts shooting instead of breaking down the wall (just saying :D).
Describe what's in one army and what's in the other, what skills, spells, etc.
And let's see who has what strategy:smile02: :smile02:
