Posts from Discussion about Dungeon (Dark Elves).

Hello everyone,

I apologize for the delay, but I was very busy yesterday and didn't have time.

So, here's the promised description of the battle against the Orc.

Map - "Neighbors". Difficulty level - "Veteran".
I (after much deliberation) am playing as Leto - green, and the opponent is playing as Tallak - yellow.
Autobattle is prohibited.

Starting bonuses:
I got an artifact (it turned out to be the Helmet of Chaos :D).
The opponent got an artifact (it turned out to be the Clover of Fortune).

Mine guarding:
I have a mine, and he has one.
Mountain owners - stones - goblins.
Scouts - wood - dryads.
Many archers - gold - a horde of improved gargoyles.
Elven archers - sulfur - swordsmen.
Dancers - mercury - furies.
Crossbowmen - gems/diamonds - zombies.
Alt upgrade of beasts - crystals - red crossbowmen.

Golden golems - Dungeon - Orc warriors.
Alt ghosts + improved bears - passage to the center - Cerberuses + Sea Elf archers.

Upgraded demons - passage to the artifact - harpooners.

Starting troops:

7 scouts + 3 beasts + 1 minotaur / 11 orcs.
Day 1

I built a magic tower, bought Sinistar (9+3), merged the army with Leto, and went to take what was poorly defended.
Day 2
I built an upgrade for the scouts, upgraded them to assassins, and bought reinforcements. I cleared out the guards on the stones and wood (lost 3 assassins on the wood).
Sinistar transported the assassins to the Castle, and I upgraded them to scouts.

Day 3
I took the Necropolis (guarded by vampires), and received the Cloak of Earth Protection :( without any losses.

I built beasts.

Day 4
I took the gold and sulfur mines without losses, and replenished mana at the well.
I upgraded the beasts to furies and transported Leto.

Day 5
I transported the furies (11), visited the mill, and took the diamond mine without losses.
I built a gold mine.

Day 6
I took the gold mine with Sinistar.
I took the crystal mine, broke through to the artifact (ring of 10% initiative):D.
I built hydras.

Day 7, I collected the chests.
I built riders.
I defeated the ghosts.

I'll write more later (work):eek:

actually, it's not a good idea to rush with riders and immediately take a beating! The strategy works like this: the battle takes place in the middle of the field, and both sides perform well there.
New hydras - in my opinion, they are useless (only maybe against demons and orcs), because regeneration gives time to destroy the enemy with spells. New furies are much better than the old ones for creeping.
By the way, yes! What about the academics? It's not easy to harass them and rush... and I won't even talk about development! What to do!?

I have a few questions on this topic:
1) On day 3,
I took the Necropolis (guarded by vampires) and received the Cloak of Earth Protection: without any losses.
Please tell me how many and what kind of (scouts/assassins) you had?
How did you manage to defeat them all without any losses? Were you never hit?
2) On day 4,
I took the Gold and Sulfur Mines – without losses, replenished mana at the well.
I upgraded the beasts to Furies and took Letos.
This is really interesting! Could you clarify who guarded the Gray and Gold Mines (I'm especially interested in the latter – gold mines are usually not guarded by weak creatures)? Were you never hit?

And here's a question about the Diamond and Crystal Mines? Also, I'm curious about the ghosts – did you ever miss them????

Sometimes, a very arrogant elf or human will throw their army into a breakthrough and not destroy the lizardmen;)
in this case, they work perfectly with everyone, but best of all with minotaurs.
Regarding the scholars – they need to be eliminated!
Mages, djinns – they deal a lot of damage, but they can't withstand attacks, so they need to be eliminated first.
And then, depending on the circumstances.;)

Oh, sorry, I went to Haven – I just fell in love with them after version 3.0.

I'm playing as Vayshan, but I don't risk attacking strong neutral creatures with this army... By the way, sometimes it happens that Archers or Archmages go before Stalkers because the game is designed in such a way that units are placed in a random range of 0-0.25. And then you can really mess up... Especially against the new Elven Archers who have 11 intelligence...

And how is the game against Orcs in general? Who won? I've played against them many times and have developed some tactics. And when you have Earth Shock dealing 2000 damage, and "on top of that" also Chain Lightning, nothing can save the Orcs. As they say, there's no defense against brute force.
