You really messed up with the ending; I had to reload twice. I didn't expect such a trick. Overall, the map is great, but it's a bit difficult to level up at the beginning.

So, did you figure it out?

Well, I know the scenario turned out to be quite challenging, although I'll slightly reduce the amount of green magic in the final version.

Thanks for the walkthrough!

The main thing is that it should be easier than the Master's!:D

Wow, a new map. Let's give it a try!

Has anyone else completed it? I'm still thinking about it. How much should I reduce the green guild's power, and should I reduce it at all?

AstralLein, thank you very much for the new scenario. I didn't expect you to upload it so quickly. I'll be happy to test it!
And what about the fate of the map "Ascension of the Adept"?

Not yet. The map is on a broken computer.

I have no idea how to defeat Jessica on Hero difficulty. I almost perfectly defeated the Green player, preserving all my archers and almost all my bears, and captured the Eastern Rampart at the end of the second month. A week later, this monster arrives with 110 Knights of Isabel, thirty Serafins, and so on. There's simply no chance of defeating her with any hero. I could try using Darkness, but there's nowhere to get spells, not even in the library (the only option is to learn a spell from Zoltan, but the losses in that battle would be too great). I tried rebuilding the Cursed Castle and building up my army, but it seems her army grows exponentially. By the beginning of the fourth month, she already had 200 Knights and so on. Maybe it's possible to defeat her with a clever strategy using single units of Death Knights, or maybe I'm just missing something. If anyone has played on Hero difficulty, please share how and, most importantly, when you defeated her. And I'd like to hear from the author what the intended timeframe is for this encounter and if there are any hidden tricks... P.S. I don't think the Green player should be considered too difficult. He can be defeated even in unfavorable situations. The losses depend on how he decides to act – if he resurrects his army, the losses will be high; if he attacks with Chaos spells, the losses will be low. Here are a couple of battles for both cases + a not-so-good scenario (only Wall is available among the fire spells; Pyromancy/Lucky Charm didn't roll).

Well, I personally managed to beat it using runes and summoning spells somewhere in the middle of the 3rd month. And it was outside the castle. It seems similar, but only through runes and Light magic. Remix defeated it without significant losses; that battle also featured an older version of the map, and she had a specialization in "Divine Retribution" after each cast of Light magic, but she didn't have Chaos resistance. Other people also managed to beat it, but they didn't write exactly how. For example, Sandro_S. However, Remix and I both had quite large armies. I had a good number of all units except for Tanners and Warriors.

No. Jessica buys an army from two castles and a couple of dwellings. I didn't understand where she got so many horses until Remix explained it. She trains them.

Thanks for the replays. I'll gladly watch them.

By the way, how is your progress in Godric's Hollow?

Everything went well, and I optimized the build for the final stage: spellcasting with distraction, education with +2 spells and knowledge, summoning with a spell master, defense with a strong defense skill, and chaos with a frost aura to make the phoenix deal more damage. In the end, the stats with artifacts were: 9 attack, 16 defense, 36 spells, and 18 knowledge. In the final battle, I won by using the frost aura on a unit and letting the phoenix finish them off. I completed the game with this hero without any major problems. It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but the phoenix solved all the problems.

To be honest, I haven't tried playing as the Phoenix.

Thanks for the walkthrough:smile02:

well, I also had a decent army, but Kolger is a Chaos faction hero and therefore not very useful, and Lorik can't carry the game without runes. I'll probably replay, focusing on summoning Phantoms and Fire Warriors, but first I'll try with Death Knights. In that case, it would be good to add a mentor somewhere, because at the beginning, the temptation to go into Chaos is very strong, and then it turns out to be completely useless.

There is a Mentor, but you need to go through the blue faction's territory.

Although, I might place him closer. Near the first blue castle, and the Dungeon will get a different object. Or I'll swap it with the spell shop. But the defense will definitely be strong. Especially if the Mentor is near the player's castle.

Chaos is very useful if you have Slow, Stun, and Death Wish spells. You can start with Berserkers or Tier 1 Bears for this strategy. It deals good damage, but leveling up on Gnomes is always a gamble; it worked for me. You can win with any strategy here except for the Engineer.

Why, a machinist with runes can definitely carry the game.

But mostly because of the runes.

Okay, I'll give Lorik and the runes, and necromancy.

Or you can also drag them to the Jarls with regeneration and fire war.
