I also spent a lot of time on this mission. Neither in the treasure chamber nor in the pyramid did they give me any spells at the beginning. And all guilds had the same thing. And in the 5th mission, it's difficult to defeat Godric, who is pumped up to the max, without a Phoenix and all the dark spells. In the 4th mission, there's nowhere to get spells.

Sorry for the amateur question, but what is a Phoenix? And what's the best way to fight mages? Which spells are more effective? I often just defeat them with auto-battle; I'm not very good at fighting myself.

I don't use autobattle at all. The Phoenix is a powerful creature, and summoning it requires skilled summoning magic. In the patched version of the game, autobattle is disabled during the battle with Godric. When I play as Necropolis, I actively use dark spells – mainly Dominate and Berserk. Less often – Blind and others. Blind can be countered by the enemy's own ballista. And raising the dead is specifically designed for the Necropolis faction. You can easily manage without a Phoenix when playing as Fortress.

And raising the dead is specifically designed for Necromancers. As a Warrior, you can easily do without a phoenix.

I really like the Unholy Word spell.

The unholy word doesn't deal very high damage. It's useful when the enemy has many stacks of roughly equal strength. And the enthrall and berserk spells are cast on the most powerful stacks.

What is "Stack"? And what kind of spell is "Berserk"?

By the way, it's a very interesting tactic. When I used it, it usually worked. In my game, Isabel ran around the island, pursued by a Mage with a huge army, for the entire mission, while I accumulated resources and built a powerful army, and then I defeated him. This allowed my castles to develop relatively peacefully. The same thing happened in the first mission when I used two heroes to make him run back and forth between them, while I developed in the meantime. He couldn't focus on just one of them because he would lose his city.

A stack is a group of units standing on the same cell. Berserk forces a unit with increased strength to attack the closest unit. It can be cast on both friendly and enemy units. With skillful dark magic, it lasts for 2 turns. Otherwise, it lasts for 1 turn.

In this mission, berserk and enthrall cannot be cast on gargoyles, golems, and titans.

In this mission, I quickly cursed the town. Therefore, I didn't have to run away from anyone, even on the hero. The coolest mage soon ended up in my tavern, and the rest were easily defeated by Agrael. After cursing the town, the enemies no longer come with large armies. At most, one of them may have a large army.

Yesterday, I started over and completed it in just 2 hours,:) knowing all the features of the map, I quickly cursed the western town, then an elf came, I quickly defeated him, and after that, it was easy; I didn't even have to strain myself :) The Sanctuary is an awesome thing; I initially hid there and summoned troops :p

In my Sanctuary, Isabel was hiding, while Agrael was constantly fighting. I took a long time to complete it. But Agrael got all the high-level dark magic and summoning spells in the pyramid and the mages' treasure chamber, which weren't available in the guilds. They were very useful for defeating Godric, whom I foolishly overleveled. But Godric, as a super-killer, will be very helpful to me in the 6th campaign.

Damn, I haven't even visited the treasure rooms or the pyramids. I didn't even think about it.

2 Boris_K, it's not Agrail, but Markel))) you've made a typo in two posts in a row))) [/offtop]

And I leveled up Isabel through Darkness and she cleared the right half of the map (it's easy with Subjugation), including various islands. Meanwhile, Markel, after clearing the respawn point a bit, went almost immediately to the Mages, and also gathered some troops at sea (again, Darkness in patch 1.41 is a complete evil. I didn't even level up Summoning for the Necromancer, and only later, towards the end of the mission, for the Phoenix, I invested three levels).

Damn, I didn't even go into the treasuries or pyramids =( I didn't think about it.

If you're playing on a high difficulty level, you'll have a hard time in the 5th mission. Don't even think about ignoring the treasury and utopia in the 2nd mission of the next campaign.

And I had Isabel leveled up through Darkness and she cleared the right half of the map (it's easy with Subjugation), various islands... While Markel, after clearing out a few respawn points, went almost immediately to the mages, and also gathered some troops at sea (again, Darkness in patch 1.41 is a complete evil. I didn't even level up Summoning for the Necromancer, only later towards the end of the mission for the Phoenix, I invested three levels).

Of course, it's Markel. :) I've mixed up the names of the heroes more than once. At the very beginning of the mission, Isabel and the supporting hero quickly gathered everything that was floating around. Then Isabel walked next to Markel, picked up useful items, and carried troops that were temporarily unnecessary for Markel. Sometimes she hid in the monastery. I was very afraid of losing her. The Knight's Castle in this mission is weak. She couldn't build a serious army. Therefore, what was being built there, I converted into undead for Markel. And how does Darkness in patch 1.41 differ from Darkness in other versions? In 1.5, it seems to me, it's exactly the same. Light against Darkness is also good in skilled hands. In the 5th mission, Godrick used Anti-Magic to remove Subjugation and Berserkers.

Hello. Here's what I've got:

I've defeated everyone, cursed all the cities, and it's already the 5th month, so what's next?
I know that he, the enemy, is hiding somewhere; the turn bar shows the orange player.
He's running, but where should I look for him? What kind of dragons should I have,
regular ones or upgraded (ghostly) ones? First, I captured the lower city
on the right island, cursed it, and then immediately chased after the orange one
to the top and captured his "capital," but it didn't get cursed,
the enemy was running, and I can't find him:smile45:

Whew, the portal that you need to go through with the dragons is a little below and to the right
of the main city of the orange player, Ziad or whatever his name is...:smile49:

Ugh, the portal you need to go through with the dragons is just below and to the right of the main orange city, Ziyad or whatever it's called... :smile49:

Are you allowed to enter the portal, or what? If you have the dragons, they should let you through. :smile01:

I'm not sure if the purchased dragons are any good. I only went into the dungeon with the units that joined me. I didn't capture the town near the dungeon entrance.

Hey everyone! I've been stuck on this mission for quite a while now. I can't figure out the answer to this question: I've captured everything, cursed all the towns, gathered a bunch of dragons, but I can't enter the portal! I've tried with exactly 20 dragons, with different types, etc. (basically, I've tried different combinations). Does it really require only recruited dragons? I've used all of them during the game, and there's nowhere else to get them except in the towns... what should I do? Do I have to start over?
