Posts from Day of Fire Tears – “All 5 Missions”

I think, like many others, I started playing a campaign made by a Russian player, "Day of Fire Tears." I created this thread so we can discuss it, talk about all the missions at once. I can't get past the third mission. I completed the first two without any problems, but the third one is giving me trouble. How do I defeat the nightmares with an army of 101, and then capture the demon-guarded castle?:confused:

As soon as I finish the quest/RPG map "Return" by Frenzy, I'll immediately start playing this campaign. :)

Once I finish the quest/RPG map "Return" by Frenzy, I'll immediately start playing this campaign. :)

Excellent! Finish it faster, and maybe then we can figure out how to complete the third mission together. :)

Excellent! Finish it faster and maybe we can solve the walkthrough for the third mission together. :)

I would gladly do that, but there are some troubles... :smile42:

Has anyone played this campaign yet? Let me know! I can’t seem to get past the 3rd mission.

I'm not quite sure which campaign and level you're referring to.

I have 3 questions and one request:
1) What is this campaign?
2) Where can I find and download it?
3) How do I load campaigns, maps, and save files into the game?
4) Could you please send me a save file for the last mission of the last campaign? I've been struggling with the fourth mission for 2 days now! (look for Mage - Haven, mission 4 of campaign 6)

It's a campaign created by some Russian guy using scripts!
It appears as a regular map, and to play it, you need to put it in the "maps" folder in Heroes 5: Fortress!
Save files are placed in "My Documents\My_games\Heroes_5\profile\gprofile\save" or something like that!
If I had a save file, I would give it to you, but I don't have it. I finished the game and deleted the first part. Now I'm playing Fortress, but I'm also playing the demo of Tribes of the East!
I don't remember where I downloaded it! It was in a post by Night Nazgul in some topic, but I downloaded an updated version later, and it was without errors!
I'll post a link to "Day of Fiery Tears" later!

This is a campaign created using scripts by some Russian guy!
It appears as a simple map, and to play it, you need to place it in the maps folder in Heroes 5: Hammers of Fate! Save files are placed in My Documents\My_games\Heroes_5\profile\gprofile\save, or something like that! If I had a save file, I would share it, but I deleted the first part after finishing the game. Right now, I'm playing Hammers of Fate, but I'm also playing the demo of Tribes of the East!
I don't remember where I downloaded it! It was in a post by Night Nazgul in some thread! But I downloaded an updated version later, and it was error-free!
I'll share a link to Day of Fiery Tears later!

So, what about the link? I finished "Hammers of Fate" and started playing Heroes again...

Is that the map where a whole horde of undead is waiting for you in the forest, and you also have to attack a castle? Are you talking about that map?

Colleagues, there is this campaign: 566 Year - Day of Fiery Tears - it's the first fan-made campaign for Heroes V (5 missions; author - OgoI). The campaign is full of scripts and has many secondary quests. New quests are given depending on your Walkthrough. The campaign is in Russian. Recommended difficulty level – Veteran; playing on Hero is quite difficult but interesting. If anyone manages to complete it on Hero, please let us know.
Note that this campaign is included in the EWA 2.12 compilation. The campaign is optimized for version 3.1

Today I started the Walkthrough of the campaign 566 Year - Day of Fiery Tears. I will share my impressions with you.

So far, I have completed only the first (easiest) mission.
Played on Hero difficulty! My game modification: Tribes of the East 3.1 + EWA 2.12 mod

My ratings:

Plot: 10/10
Gameplay: 9.7/10
Design: 10/10
Originality: 9.9/10
Game atmosphere: 10/10
Quests: 9.8/10 (some are very challenging)
General impression: 10 points
The author (Ogo) did a great job and filled his scenarios with scripts, as well as came up with interesting quests and situations during the Walkthrough. A huge amount of work has been done with the scripts. And I also really liked some battles – almost to the limit, and it is necessary to minimize losses for future battles. The game is a masterpiece, difficult, interesting, develops intelligence!
Regarding the Walkthrough: it is better to choose stone spikes as a bonus. Furthermore, since the main hero is a high elf, I developed luck+defense+specialized skills (I didn't take logistics). I reached the first garrison in 12 days, while completing all additional quests! Attention, after taking soldier’s luck + travel luck, I was given a rare specialized skill: elven luck!!! (increases the damage bonus from a successful attack from 100% to 125%). And this is at level 10 of the hero's development; before that, I received such a skill only at levels 27-28. Apparently, here played its role the TE mod, which is included in the EWA 2.12 modification. It turns out that the hero's development goes faster - this is doubly pleasant.
Finished the first mission at level 22!

Friends, it's time to share my walkthrough of the campaign - 566 AD - Day of Fiery Tears (included in the EWA compilation).
So, the campaign has been completed, albeit with great difficulty! My sincere thanks and respect to the author. Overall, the campaign turned out great - an interesting plot, dynamics, quests, several storylines, and alternative development options. My comments on the game:
Walkthrough of the 2nd mission
I must admit, it wasn't easy to complete the 2nd mission on Hero difficulty. It was quite challenging. Strong neutral creatures, some of which practically mowed down my troops, constantly stood in my way. Yes, there are about 3 ways to complete this mission, and the author has put in the effort, but whichever option you choose, believe me - you will have to play extremely carefully, practically without making any mistakes. I would add that I only managed to complete this mission thanks to well-planned battles, tactically speaking, without any losses. But the most difficult was the last battle with the advanced elite squad of demons, who blocked my hero's path. The demons refused to retreat (although they were supposed to according to the script), and I had to accept a battle that was extremely unfavorable for me, but there were no other options! The battle was long - almost on the verge, and it took a great deal of effort to achieve victory, but at what cost!!!! Less than 5% of the army remained!

Walkthrough of the 3rd mission:

1. At the beginning of the mission, the hero has only 4 assassins, who must destroy 36 Ancient Ents (otherwise, it is impossible to proceed). Question to the author: what is the purpose of such an unreasonably high difficulty at the initial stage? It was very difficult to destroy them, and only after a large number of attempts.
2. Unjustifiably high difficulty in capturing the castle in one week (too large an army as a guard for the castle). I got stuck for a long time on the third mission. It is very difficult to complete.

Features of the campaign as a whole:

1) An extraordinary number of scripts; practically every object on the maps is scripted.
2) Many secondary quests.
3) Depending on your playthrough, you will be given additional quests. It is impossible to complete all the quests created in the campaign during one game!
4) There are some other factors that depend on your playthrough.
5) The plot begins long before the events described in the official campaign - in 566 AD.
6) You will play as a hero of the forest alliance and a necromancer, taking control of the troops of the high and dark elves, Inferno, and the Order.
7) In none of the missions is the hero's level limited.
8) There are more than 3 ways to complete the same game moments.
[What would I like to see improved?
It would be desirable to reduce the difficulty level, especially in the third mission:
Overall, the campaign is created for masters of Heroes, because there is nothing for warriors to do in it (at least in the third mission).
