Posts from Sanctuary – “Life in death and death in life” [Campaign 4 – Mission 4]

Comrades!!! Help me with the walkthrough – I've been struggling for three days now, and I've only managed to capture two towns((( How do I eliminate these orange creatures???

Oh, I'm glad you also enjoyed the orange player :)! The key to this mission is patience. To the northwest of the starting point, there's a neutral town with a group of guards in front of it – capture it ;). Once you have enough troops, take Ashwink. Then, wait until you have enough of an army to defeat the Inferno or Haven hero who is playing "table volleyball" with the town in the center :). Once that town is captured and both heroes are killed, finish off one of the players. But Gerhard's guards will also be a nuisance later on – give Thangbo troops and leave him in the town where Mark used to live.

Thank you very much, we'll give it a try! Good luck to everyone!!!

And when should we go down into the Dungeon?

Dungeon near one of the Inferno cities (the northernmost one)? When you're ready to fight the big boss :). By the way, at the beginning of the mission, Kensei is shown in the northeast corner of the map; send Tiangbo there – there are many recruitable warriors. You can reach that place quickly by using the whirlpool directly east of the starting city ;).

Thank you for the valuable advice!

Okay, guys, I managed to defeat them))) Although, I have to admit, it took me three tries and 12 hours. I wanted to add that when you kill the Mother-Progenitor, she will give you the Tear of Ash. It will make fighting Gerhard more interesting. Good luck to everyone.

In the easy mode, the following occurred:

Moderated: USE OF PROFANITY in the message

.
I have a starting town, the town "Gustav's Turn" (quest "Beacon of Hope" completed, wolves are present, so they are enemies), and the former Inferno town of Rauchburg (quest "Honor"). I took the units from the upper right corner of the map.
In the northwest, in a town, there is an Inferno creature; it seems it read the advice about the neutral town before I did. :)
In total, my army consists of hundreds of units.
The Inferno and the Wolves have thousands of units (in their towns). Any of my units are destroyed in a single hit.
Did I do something wrong? When waiting, don't the enemy's troops increase? And how many in-game YEARS do I need to wait to build up such an army?

A neutral city is exactly that – a city for completing a quest; all other cities are distributed. Don't your opponents fight each other? They should weaken each other's legions, and then you can finish them off, starting from the center!

Damn... I don't let them fight each other; I take care of the guests myself. I'm running around like crazy. Maybe I shouldn't have captured Rauchburg? As Prince Afonya Miloslovsky used to say, "Well, you rushed things!"

Should I start from the beginning of the mission? And avoid entering the territories of Inferno and Fortress altogether? How many in-game weeks should I expect to wait? It's on a difficult level.

On Easy difficulty, it will take about two weeks. On Hard difficulty, I don't know, but try not to be seen by the enemy :).

Hmm... 15 weeks have passed. The nearest wolf castle no longer houses 10,000 archers, but "only" 7,000. My army is more than enough to crush them. And that's without the griffins attacking from above and the light creatures that dispel magic.
I think I should play this mission on easy mode. I don't want to wait a year of game time and days of my own. I must have done something wrong....

I'm stuck on the walkthrough for the last mission of chapter 4. /topic/8554/
This is my second time playing through it, and I don’t feel like replaying from the beginning. Could anyone share a save file from the start of this mission?

You are absolutely right – play on easy mode ;). But even if you don’t manage to complete it, the campaigns can be played in any order, so you can always start with the demons and orcs campaign, and even the final mission :). Irina will just not be available in the finale.

Even so? I thought that new missions weren't available "just like that." And never mind Irina then :). I skipped all the cutscenes anyway and don't know who's fighting with whom and why :)
I fight because I fight (c) Porthos

I generally did everything in a non-trivial and unique way, as always:D :D :D

I defeated everyone, didn't let the enemies kill each other, and considered it my duty and honor. After capturing the central castle (i.e., the second one for me), I reached level 30. Then I captured a neutral castle... but somehow, I didn't receive the quest to liberate the lighthouse (initially, I defeated all the Inferno creatures there:smile43:). In the end, after capturing all the castles, I tried to rush to the Hive Mother, but her 100,000 HP and mega attack demoralized my entire army. BUT RUSSIANS DON'T GIVE UP ))))

So, what I'm getting at... While I'm gathering an army to attack the Dungeon Hive Mother, how can I lure Gerhard out of his secluded spot? Please advise:o

In general, after collecting at least 200 Kirins, you can easily defeat the Hive Mother, which has 100,000 HP, in one turn... the question is how many turns it takes to reach Gerhard. Question withdrawn. Thanks to everyone :)
