Posts from The tenth stage of the "Van Kanigem" tournament.

Day nine.
Deleb breaks through the garrison (F23, a very interesting battle: only 4 hydras remain alive) and heads to the Rangers' Castle.

Since we were discussing winning tactics, I'll share my Walkthrough. And after the preliminary results, we might ask for more from others.

In the lands of the elf Nur, grabbing some money from the chest along the way, he heads straight to the Castle. On the night of Sunday to Monday, he defends against Gilraen and, having saved 42 gremlins...

In the morning, he crushes Hafiz's troops. In a long and fierce battle, only an imp and a handful of demons survive.

The main thing in the battle with Erin is to have full mana, therefore, Ora,
grabbing mercury, heads to the well, and then for the crystals. Erin attacks at night. The sign of the magician, 30 mana, and a little luck - victory, although only 4 gargoyles survived.

It would be great if you could learn to fight with small forces with your help. Otherwise, me and Luchik are stuck trying to continue our duel in the fifth game.

I highly recommend trying to play through it again yourself, even using existing walkthroughs, as this map is very revealing in many aspects of the game.

I'm posting 3 episodes + the finale, but the most interesting battle I posted earlier.

I already crossed that match off my list of interesting ones during the discussions on the first day after the tournament ended, after I learned from you about the upgraded gargoyles.

And that was a mistake; every gargoyle mattered, and besides, the computers weren't performing too badly. Of course, with upgraded gargoyles, the question of whether they could penetrate elemental defenses didn't arise, but it was necessary to minimize losses to make things easier later on.

Regarding minimizing losses, I can compete with you even on the fifth level. Want me to send you a battle from this game – when you need to destroy the Natural Fortress – there are hordes of enemies. I fought it for three days – I was so annoyed by the losses, even though I suspected that the final result wouldn't be quite right.

By the way, we could create a topic with tasks on how to complete a battle optimally. And there, not only leaders but also outsiders could post their battles.

Because, in my opinion, there's a possibility that a leader might never see battles that an outsider fought. And there are battles that, in my opinion, are completely different from the battles in the first two weeks of the playthrough.

We should definitely do that, and you could upload your challenge for everyone there. The only question is, how do we adhere to the maximum size limit for attached files? We can temporarily upload them to file-sharing services, but that's just a temporary solution.

Yeah, imagine how, due to my inexperience, I cleared the entire center of the map on stage 4 with a few Nightmares and Archdevils! The mice cried, pricked themselves, but kept eating the cactus.

I'm posting the most interesting episodes from the latest season.
Besides those I mentioned as significant above, I've also added the battle with the elves for the Alchemist's Laboratory.
Enjoy watching!!!

How do I properly extract the files to view them? I can't seem to do it (the size should be closer to 3 MB after extraction, but I'm left with 300-400 KB):o

These are replays of battles... their actual size is 300-400 KB :D

Faiza, after losing one Imp. In the morning, he crushes Hafiz's troops. In a long and fierce battle, only the Imp and a few Demons survive. But that's not important anymore – the mage is left without troops, Ossir is no longer a threat. After picking up 500 experience points on a chest along the way, Daleb easily takes the Castle.

Nurah.
On the night of Sunday to Monday, he defends against Gilraen and, preserving 42 Gremlins, enters the Green Castle without a fight.

Narhiz.
He is hired by the Elf on Monday, takes all the Gremlins, Gargoyles, Elves, Unicorns, and a Fairy with him. He kills Dirael. Victory.

Question - were there any Towers in the enemy Fortress, and if so, how many?

In my opinion, 43 Gremlins survived in this battle.

And here it's unclear - where did Narhiz get 63 Gremlins and 8 Gargoyles in his army in this battle? After the battle with Gilraen, there were only 43 Gremlins left? I didn't understand from the description where he got reinforcements.

So, how many hit points did your tent heal? I got the impression that my tent worked worse - what's the secret?

And can the tent revive a killed unit during healing?

I already know that Hydras regenerate on their own.

The tent heals depending on the skill in Combat Machines - 10/20/50/100 HP, except for the hero Kaspar, who has 5 additional healing units per level.

Iron, please read the manual, and recommend it to Luchik as well. Then I am sure that your duel will be even more interesting and you will compete for the top places. Because there is much more in the top five than it seems at first glance.
