Posts from Tactics in BATTLES

Place mages and earth elementals in the outermost slots, and gargoyles in the middle. Put master djinns in the remaining 4 slots. And all of them cast very useful spells on the gargoyles, plus the hero's spell. The result: the gargoyles are beasts, they can even take down dragons!!!:rolleyes: :D

I guess you understand that you'll still have to slow them down, right? But the Djinns themselves will cast Haste, and your archers will have a hard time because they usually cast spells on half of their army, and the other half flies towards you :).
And if you slow them down, they can remove it in no time with healing, dispel, and antimagic, and even worse – with Haste.

But having a huge advantage from 4 Djinns – yes, that's a good thing :)

Kotoraya...;112223] We need to come up with something else for fast-moving flyers.

And what about the genies that can cast "Haste" - and how will that affect my archers? I don't quite get it:smile32: Genies only cast spells on their own units! Besides, I'm directing all 4 of my spells at the gargoyles...

Conduct a battle without changing the troop arrangement or artifacts.
Please try it, and if anyone succeeds, write down how many Fortress troops survived.

Good luck! ;)

P.S. It's not as easy as it might seem at first. :)

I tried it against myself. Twice, the Blind spell activated on the Archers, and as a result, all the Elves, Gnomes, Pegasuses, and 24 Treants survived :cool: ... The tactic was simple: destroy the ranged units with fast units in the first round, and then defend. The main goal: leave only one stack of the opponent's units (in this case, 17 Archers), and then collectively take them down... That's how it worked.
It's also very effective to Entangle these Archers :).

Znich, you seem to be mistaken: if one opponent has a Sphere of Inhibition, then no unit-mage will be able to cast any spells either, so either the Sphere wasn't "equipped," or the resurrection didn't happen.

Hello everyone!
I remember one interesting game with a friend.
I played as Dungeon, and he played as Castle. We took over the entire XL map, and only then did we start fighting. I had two strong heroes. My main hero, Dass, had stats of 50, 42 (+/- 2), 28 (+/- 3), and 30 (+/- 3) thanks to various artifacts. When my friend saw my main hero, he just couldn't understand how I managed to raise the stats so high! My second hero was some kind of barbarian; he had high diplomacy and recruited a lot of neutral creatures: 35, 25 (+/- 3), 12 (+/- 4), 12 (=/- 4), and also had some artifacts, although not as powerful. Besides, he didn't have any artifacts that boosted morale. I only remember that my second hero had 100 unupgraded Hydras, 300+ Diamond Golems, 100+ Logs, 101 Archangels (my friend actually gave me money to upgrade them; I begged him). And some other creatures, but I don't remember who. Well, my friend played as a mage, and his hero had a mage specialization. It seems that his entire army consisted of Castle units: about 30+ Titans, 70+ Naga Sirens, 70+ Mages, 100+ Golems, and around 200 Gargoyles and Gremlins. His stats were around 25, 25, 20, 20, plus or minus 1. I set up a "zombie land" for him. My units just kept marching and eventually crushed him. I remember that he only resurrected with an Archangel once, and then it was over. His units were constantly being afflicted with curses. Even though my friend wiped out half of my army, I still upset him a lot. Before the battle, my friend said that he would destroy me with an explosion, and I said that I had a surprise for him. He only found out what the surprise was during the battle (a Sphere of Suppression).
