Posts from Wizard – “Hope of Zephyr” [Campaign 6, Mission 5]

Well, what the heck!
What kind of ending is that?
I didn't understand anything. Did Zephyr not heal her?
I would have locked her up in the dungeon after that ordeal (if I were going to save her), and then slowly and painstakingly healed her.
Now I respect the elves – Faidaen was right. Or maybe in the end of the 4th mission, the queen should have been killed or left in hell.

Why kill her? What didn't you understand?:) Well, she was healed, but as the add-on showed, this didn't happen. :smile51: And besides, the story isn't over yet; you haven't played the other 2 add-ons. :smile17:

I really liked the last mission, and the ending too. I completed it on my first try. The only thing is, I only discovered Zehir's "banishment" ability for myself in the final battle, when I ran out of mana and decided to try it out. The effect exceeded all expectations; without it, I probably wouldn't have completed the last battle on my first try.

Awesome mission! I'm impressed! I was losing the battle against Zehir with the Lord after the wall! I set it to auto-battle, thinking it was all over for me! And then Zehir summoned a Phoenix with 650 health and amazing stats, followed by about 100 elementals! And I won! Can you believe it? It was so cool! Now I'm waiting for Tribes of the East on October 12th!

YES, the mission is super! I set it to auto-battle, and then Zehir summoned a Phoenix! 650 HP and amazing stats!!!

And my Faidean had a super ability!:smile44:
This is probably the only thing I like about elves!
When troops only attack with luck...
But he didn't have the ability to control machines, and I almost lost,
when I had to destroy a wall.:smile35:

Guys, please, can anyone tell me how to complete the campaign for the Mages, the last mission? :smile45: I defeat Biaru with each of my heroes, then the Overlord... But there's no result. I can't figure out what to do next? :smile35: Do I have to attack the Overlord again? But my army is not what it used to be, and I don't see the point... :confused:

Cipo2a, there is a topic about this mission: /topic/788/

Thanks, I was searching for it and couldn't find it. But the problem hasn't disappeared, I'll try patching it; it's probably a bug. :smile33:

As I expected, Zehir turned out to be the weakest link in version 3.0. But I still checked the effect of the "Banish" spell in a battle against Biara. Immediately after the almost useless "Banish," Biara had 4 stacks of 20 dragons each. Most likely, this was just a coincidence. I think the dragons would have appeared even without the "Banish." In any case, if I had used a more useful spell, the losses would have been much smaller. I was too lazy to replay the battle.

When the last of Zehir's soldiers died in the battle against the Overlord, the battle didn't end. The Phoenix and elementals quickly finished off the enemy. I was congratulated on winning the battle, but then I was immediately disappointed by a message about the mission failing. I had to replay the battles against the Overlord. This time, at the end of the battle, I resurrected the titans, and the mission was completed. The other heroes couldn't have had any problems, as they were all maxed out.

Most likely, this is not a bug, but a mission script. In other missions, after the main army was defeated, the battles immediately ended in defeat. Markel didn't defeat the powerful Godric on his first try. And Zehir also passed the first mission only on the second try.

For me, Faidaen was the weakest. He had only 9 Ancient Ents left. In descending order of losses:
Godric - about 17 Archangels;
Railag - lost a little of everyone, but in the battle with Biara, he lost all the Assassins and almost all the Shadow Lords;
Zeheer - Exile! Exile!! Exile!!! He kills EVERYONE who appeared up to that point. I noticed this during the battle with Biara and...
Faidaen had a tough time in the battle, but he completed the mission on the first try.
And now, if someone didn't understand after playing through "Lords of the Underworld," I'll say this: Isabel with red eyes is BIARA! She transformed into Isabel and finished off the Griffin Empire in two add-ons. And Railag took the real Isabel "home." They can be distinguished by the colors of their "outfits": Isabel has blue, and the fake Isabel has red. If it's not clear, look at the crystal hanging around Isabel's neck. The real Isabel has a green one, and Biara has a red one.
And now, the last thing: After the purification ritual performed at Tieru, Agrail became Railag. That's why they have the same letters in their names. Someone tried to convince people otherwise in some thread, but to be sure, watch the mini-movie after the 3rd mission of the 4th campaign, "Cultist," and watch the backstory in the 4th mission of the 4th campaign, "March," and the 5th mission of the 4th campaign, "Railag's Offer," which appears when loading the missions. Sorry for being off-topic.

Zephyr - Banish! Banish!! Banish!!! Kills ALL creatures that were summoned before.

Absolutely true for versions 1.0-2.1.

However, in versions 3.x, it's better to take something more useful instead of banishing. It kills a negligible number of summoned creatures. Holy Word kills more.

Imagine how frustrating it is – all my heroes defeated the Demon Lord, but Zehir was missing a couple of Titans or Rakshasas. What should I do???

Please tell me how ("which buttons to press?") to summon a phoenix (I haven't encountered any phoenixes anywhere in the game) and how to use Zehir's "Banish" ability. I played all the battles on auto-battle, and it turned out that Zehir was the last one fighting, while the Demon Lord's army kept growing. Then, additional fire unicorns appeared – 45 of them, and then another 45, and Zehir (40 Titans and 65 Rakshasas) was defeated – is this a bug???? These Titans just stand there like "statues" while their entire army is being wiped out around them, and the Demon Lord slowly shoots them down.

bonchik, if the version is not 3.x, most enemies can be defeated using the "Exile" spell. It's much harder in 3.x. But in 3.0, there's a bug: if your army is destroyed, meaning you only have a Phoenix and elementals left, the battle doesn't end. You can use them to finish off the remaining enemies, and at the very end, resurrect one of your units. I don't know how it works in 3.1.

Summoning a Phoenix is a regular summoning spell of level 5. Zehir must know it if he has upgraded his summoning magic or spellcasting ability. It can be learned in the castles of Mages, Necromancers, and Warlocks. Additionally, with enough persistence, you can find and learn any high-level spell in the treasure rooms of Mages, Pyramids, and Utopias.

Exile is present, but it doesn't help; not all troops are exiled, only a part of them, and I've never seen a phoenix, only elementals... so should I play the first mage campaign again and level up the phoenix?

Well, I also completed the last battle - since my heroes weren't maxed out (especially Zehir, level 24), I had to borrow 45 paladins from Godric (level 26), who were quickly defeated by fire donkeys. In the end, I had to fight Railag (level 28) - I probably won only thanks to the level of my heroes. After the battle, only two dragons remained. What should I do next? Where can I find the continuation?

My Zephyr was level 28, Railag was level 30, and Faydaen was level 35. I don't remember Godric's level, but he was also well-leveled.

The continuation – in the campaigns of the Hammers of Fate. There you will find old acquaintances.

I don't understand. Help me, please, if you can! :)
I fought with all four heroes, first against Biara (I won), then (twice) against the Warlord... I won! But after the last (or not?) battle between Rai'lag and the Warlord, when I killed everyone and was ready to celebrate my victory, they tell me, "Sorry, mission failed, you lost..." What's the point? What do I need to do?! Save Isabel?! That's why I'm fighting the Warlord... There are no other directions to follow...
Please tell me what I need to do. I'm tired of fighting the same enemy for so long!
