Posts from Worshipper – “Ship” [Campaign 2, Mission 4]

I managed to complete this mission thanks to the Subjugation skill! During the siege of the tower, I focused on killing four Archdevils. I subjugated the Death Dancers and used them to eliminate the archers and high druids standing in the back! By the way, what do you get for 100 elves from the Phantom Dragons, besides access to a new area?

By the way, what do Spectral Dragons give for 100 Elves, besides passage?

They say they give experience. I just don't know how much, because, as I already wrote, it's easier to kill them than to feed them. Their appetite grows over time. And I had trouble with that, because I went into the Dungeon only after taking all the Druid Castles on the surface. So, I needed to bring in far more than a hundred Archers.

No matter how many times I tried to conquer a castle in the Dungeon, the elven army always killed me. But when I started conquering castles on the surface, I didn't even have to go to the Dungeon, because the orange faction doesn't venture onto the surface.

Pantheri, my friend initially captured a castle in the Dungeon and then the Elven ones. But he was playing on Recruit difficulty. Did you also capture the last castle with Elven troops? I got tired of giving troops to the supporting hero every turn. So, after capturing my home castle, I sent them all to the sacrificial pit. If I had known what awaited me in the last castle (in version 1.5, there's a very decent garrison there), I wouldn't have done that, but instead, I would have leveled up the Elven hero and gathered an army from all the Elven castles. However, even without the Elven hero, Agrael, though with some difficulty, managed to cope.

I don't know about you, but I played it like this: I simply captured the city in the center at the bottom (Elves), then went down into the underground and built up my Elf army. I cleared out two garrisons and approached the Northern Fortress, and with the help of magic, I sent troops there every day and won, using the auto-battle feature!

I think we should eliminate the orange player first, no matter what... What's the point of having Elven castles if, firstly, Elven units desert every day, and secondly, the Demon Lord's abilities don't work with "non-native" troops?

Mission Four

Objectives:
1) Capture Erivell
2) Capture all the elven cities (three in total)
3) Kill Gilraen (permanently)
4) Destroy the source of elven magic.

In the third mission, after defeating Gilraen, upgrade all guilds to level 5 in every city. Agrael should know the spell – portal to the city.

Walkthrough:
We rush to the observation tower, watch a cutscene about the fleeing elves, rush to the underground passage through the forest… Along the way, we can defeat a couple of neutral squads (which aren't really a problem). I defeated them – anyway, the elven army is fleeing – so let them sing for Agrael (and die on the battlefield)… But we don't linger too much – the sooner we capture the castle, the faster we can start rebuilding it and acquiring our own troops. We run, capture the castle, leave the elven troops in the castle (under arrest, so they don't run away), and we, with one warrior (he won't run away anyway), go to explore the territory, marking all the unguarded mines. We don't forget to settle in the city. We visit the doghouse, buy the available troops, and go to capture as many mines as possible (Army – 32 units, 5 succubi, 12 dogs – I'm recalling from memory)… We easily defeat the minotaur army with this army – challenge, phantom, curse – and fight without losses. I go upstairs to explore the dungeon – enemy heroes appear – from the northeast and from where Gry came… The one from the northeast wandered around and retreated. The second (Ilfina) ran towards the castle, marking mines along the way… I love computer players and their desire to grab mines even if the game might end after the battle))… While she's marking, I explore further, then teleport to the city. Ilfina retreats, Agrael reclaims the mines, buys all the demon troops – runs through the passage to the northeast, meets an elven hero there, defeats him, runs further, emerges near the upper city (in the upper right corner), captures the city without problems. We run back to the dungeon. Agrael sees Ilfina rushing towards the demon castle… While she marks mines along the way, we manage to move from the zone of one (elven city) to the zone of the demon city… We teleport, catch up with Ilfina, defeat her, run along the road (the one we came here on), run to the castle east of the underground entrance… There is almost no guard there, we take it… Then, it seems, Agrael immediately ran to the last city, without replenishing his troops… While he was capturing it, the last elven hero (not counting Alaron) ran, grabbed the upper castle… He held out there for two days – Agrael arrived and took the castle back… That's it, all three cities are yours)) Now you can play at a leisurely pace, gathering an army. I hired another hero – the elf Ossir, he ran between the cities, bought troops, and Agrael, at this time, defeated neutral creatures with his demon army. At first, we left chests on the road for gold, then Ossir picked them up for experience… We recruit elven troops for Ossir, demon troops for Agrael, and level up… Ossir leveled up to level 23, Agrael almost to level 28... I somehow thought that the limit was 28. Then, with an army – 47 dragons, 785 archers, about 120 ents, 200 druids... I don't remember what happened next... (The enemy has – 52 dragons, 300 archers, 600 fairies, 90 ents...) The archers destroy all of Alaron's dragons in one hit... Ossir with his overall acceleration, divine power, and punishing strike deals with almost the entire enemy army in a matter of moments... Leaving only 86 ents and 600 fairies for the demons to feast on – Ossir leaves the battlefield, and Agrael finishes off Alaron. It is not necessary to do this (take Ossir away when he is already winning without problems). I just wanted to level up Agrael to level 28... The mission is completed.

I can't seem to get past this. I approach the Twilight Dragons, a cutscene plays, I have 126 archers (hired hero), but it won't let me pass. What's the problem?

You need to come as Agrael.
If it's another hero, there will be a cutscene saying something like, "These are charismatic creatures, you'll have to start all over again."
Bring your hired hero and Agrael to the dragons. Transfer 100 archers (Divide - by pressing the Shift key and dragging the unit to a free slot to divide). And on the same day, Agrael must transfer the archers to the dragons. Otherwise, elven troops will keep running away from Agrael every day... you might not have time to deliver a hundred from the elven city... I repeat, Agrael must transfer 100 archers.

100 archers is the minimum. Over time, dragons develop a bigger appetite. I initially captured 3 Elven castles, and then I went underground. I had over 100 archers, but it wasn't enough for the dragons. I decided it was easier to kill them than to feed them.

I was playing version 1.0, and I captured all three cities. Then, Agrael would come and give the dragons 100 archers, and it was no problem. We were taking them from Agrael without any issues... :smile51:

I had some problems. I even had to give up my own town. But then I really gave it to them. And in the last battle, it was a comedy – only 6 elves were left, and the rest were defeated.

Which is better, to develop the Inferno or the Sylvan town?

Most likely, it was the Elven faction – I played it a long time ago, twenty times in a row, but couldn't win because I only used the Demon faction. I only won because the enemy left the city, but even the ones that remained there wiped out half my army, if not more. :smile11:

Well, I've already started playing as the Demons. I'm currently upgrading my castle (army). I have this cool "agreement": I stay in the castle, and an Elven hero rides up, and all the mines on his path are mine, but he doesn't touch them and just runs past my castle. This only benefits me (all the resources go to me). So, I think I'll build a good army!
