How to defeat Death and its vampires? — General

Hello everyone. I have a question:
I'm playing with a friend and against the computer on the Xeen map. His favorite faction is Necropolis. By developing necromancy, he gets 1-2-3 vampires per battle, which eventually leads to an enormous number of them. He can then freely move around and farm mobs, resources, and experience.
How can I win?)

Added after 12 minutes
While reading the forum, I only found one solution: patch the game. It says that the Necromancer can only raise one vampire, and that too starting from level 18, but I think it's still relevant on large maps.

I don't actually play Heroes of Might and Magic, but I think you need Haven and to quickly eliminate the Necromancer, and then finish off the Vampires. I can't think of another option right now.

Yes, the best solution is to install Экви 3.51. The balance there is quite good, better than in Вихрях. On large maps, Necromancy will certainly be useful, but firstly, it will require some skill, and secondly, the number of raised creatures will still be less. As for Вихрях, there are few chances against Death, but something can be done. First of all, it is worth creating several Wizard heroes who will thin out the ranks of the fanged creatures with hit-and-run tactics. Secondly, it is worth actively using the town portal; with its help, you can also do a lot of hit-and-run attacks, as you can teleport directly from the battle. Thirdly, you should properly develop your tactician, and in battle, use teleport to pull the enemy closer and quickly defeat him. After his death, the vampires will be significantly weakened. Also, remember that after incineration (disintegration), vampires cannot regenerate themselves.

Yes, the best solution is to install Equilibris 3.51. The balance is quite good there, better than in Armageddon's Blade.

Also, don't forget that after being destroyed (disintegrated), vampires cannot regenerate.

Another question arose: I understand what hit-and-run tactics through the town portal are, but how do you do it in battle?

Thank you to everyone who responded

Attacked the opponent, inflicted some damage, cast Town Portal in battle, and fled with his army.

By the way, Wizards can escape even without an army and without a town portal – as long as at least one of them survives.

by the way, another question: is there a place where I can watch videos of good players playing the game, preferably with commentary?

It seems no one has created any tutorial videos. Game streams are sometimes broadcast, particularly for the ongoing World Championship. Keep an eye on the announcements.

That's understandable. I highlighted escaping through the Town Portal because it's only present in the Whirlwinds, just like teleportation without line of sight.

To destroy the undead, use Life Magic (spells like "Holy Word" – I don't remember the exact name) and potions (like "Holy Water").

Although life magic's offensive spells against undead are slightly stronger than those of other schools, they won't be very effective against a large number of vampires. Here, a death charm combined with luck reduces the damage from fanged creatures by a factor of 3, which will allow you to last longer in battle, but only a necromancer can easily remove the applied spells, so it's better to have innate abilities.

Although, of course, you can handle any enemy with a Barbarian (a hero with the Warfare skill).

Well, not with just anyone, but only with someone he can handle. Although, of course, you can’t defeat a well-leveled Barbarian with just one hand.

And if he also has effective artifacts and healing potions, and if he is taught magic, then his chances are quite high.

:smile19: :smile54: Yes, but it won't be a Barbarian anymore :D By the time you level up such a "terminator," the game will be over – it seems the initial discussion was about multiplayer, not single-player, which can be extended as much as you want.

Well, well. If you wander around, visit various altars, academies, and so on, and level up magic to the second or third tier, the Barbarian will still be a Barbarian at heart. If you want to create a terminator, just make an Archmage, find relics for him, and buy useful potions; then, few will be able to defeat him (except those with a full or "HALF" magic resistance amulet).
