Posts from Is it possible to defeat 1000 Archangels with just one Imp?

The whirlpool and fountain don't work together; I checked several times. And I did indeed forget about Ellazar.

Oops, I meant intellect, not fountain. My mistake. Anyway, at level 40, with 92 points in knowledge, Eleazar has 7360 mana points! So, the maximum number of mana points at level 40 is 7720! Here are some observations.

P.S. Okay, we should stop discussing this, as it's getting off-topic.

Let's put an end to this discussion because I don't really want to test anything, and it's also off-topic.

if it's WoG 3.58 or higher (where there are scripts for the commander, and some conditions necessary for his mega-leveling:D) and the archmage has no hero, then it seems more than possible.
P.S. I once made maps for myself to level up the commander to such a degree that he could easily defeat these archmages;-) but it takes a very long time and is tedious; you have to run around the map, level up the commander, and the map itself is quite lame, designed for one commander to capture a castle (the mission objective). It would take a lot of time. I would try with Xelka and 7 stacks of Azure Dragons, say 10k each! And in WoG, you can create such wonders:)

We're discussing what can be done in Heroes 3, not in Warlords, and we only touch upon Warlords occasionally, but you've written so much about it...

Well, I just finished playing that map in Heroes 3. I've never seen anything so crazy before! It seems impossible to lose! Even someone with no skill couldn't lose, sorry for the pun.

And if there were archers with the hero, they would definitely be 100% effective against the Beast. Or at least a Citadel.

Sorry for the off-topic, but isn't Warlords just a series of add-ons to Heroes 3? And regarding what I wrote, everyone was just sharing their ideas.

One Imp... hmm, unlikely. The speed isn't right. For example, I destroyed 20,000 Crusaders and 30,000 Griffons, totaling 100,000, using 9 Archdevils. But at the beginning, they'll just overwhelm him.

Which map?

Even if there are obstacles, it is still impossible to pull this off...

if you're holed up in a castle, and considering the Cursed Armor, which gives your hero maximum mana, and you have the Golden Arrow, while your opponent has no mana at all... then you can easily defeat 1000 Archons in a single cell with a Demon in about 40 minutes.

No, no, the imp is certainly not the same as "the best" :)
You probably don't even understand what you're writing: what do tactics or ballistics have to do with this? No matter how you position this 1 IMP, the archangel will still go first and kill it. The point is simply that the imp has a speed of 5, and if you add all the speed artifacts, it becomes 9; and if you attack an archangel while wearing "Cursed Armor" (the slow effect will naturally trigger), then whoever attacked will move first, but that won't work with a peasant :) Do you understand about this now?

won't work. Cursed armor casts its crap only when receiving a turn.
and as you wrote, upon attack, the archs go first. Nothing has been cast on them yet. Therefore, it's game over for the imp.

there is another idea. we are sitting in the Castle. and we have the artillery and tactics skills. the computer attacks us with 1000 archs. without a book (or at least without direct damage magic). since we have artillery, we are given a turn at the very beginning of the battle and we can cast. we cast force field. the imp is out of reach.
1st turn: force field.
2nd turn: berserk.
3rd turn: force field
4th turn: slow.
5th turn: haste.
now our imps are faster than the archs, who are uncontrollable. then we just implode them.

of course, if the archs are in several stacks, you can simply tear them apart with berserk.

it doesn't matter whether it's a writer or an imp.
well, there is plenty of time. it will take... well, that's why it's a theoretical problem.

4th turn

Added after 19 minutes
and solving theoretical problems is not that interesting. here is a task.
how to take out hero Aiden. all stats around 40. mana around 1200. has 7000 archdevils. artifact Blade of Armageddon. Badge of Courage (gives +1 morale, immunity to mind magic (blindness, hypnosis, berserk)) expert tactics skill, and other haute couture upgrades;)...
what we have: there is a Dragon Utopia on the map, which gives the Tome of Water and other artifacts for stats. there are 3 Castles, 2 dungeons, 1 tower, 2 swamps, 1 rampart, 1 stronghold, game time 29 days (a month + 1 day)
this task was solved in two ways :) all just to get the Blade of Armageddon :).

1. So, does that mean we'll only have water spells guaranteed, and we shouldn't count on anything else?
2. What spells does Aiden have in his spellbook?
3. Can we start with any castle?

It's quite possible... there's magic that makes an enemy attack another enemy (not hypnosis), I don't know if it works on Archons.

I suggest closing this thread; it has long since run its course, and everyone is just spouting nonsense and doesn't even want to understand the core issue. Everything has already been described on the previous pages.

Archangels fly across the entire map, so be sure to slow them down, and speed up the demons, and then attack the archangels with magic...
