Posts from Discussion about Dungeon (Dark Elves).

In the second week, Furies are covered either by Hydras or Raiders, and this is already a breakthrough against guards consisting of units of levels 5-7, and even then, it's often possible to do it with just Stalkers (if the hero is Leto). I build Minotaurs in the 4th week, if I have time.

I don't know, I don't hire a second hero in the first week; I prefer to build Minotaurs. Because the main mines, you'll agree, and the main hero can be captured (is it really that hard to run to an extra tile?). And the resources near the mines that are lying around for free can wait until the next week; they won't disappear (I've checked))). And Minotaurs will be very helpful in the second week during battles with tougher neutrals, otherwise, there will be no one to cover the Fury (it's a pity for the Stalkers too). So, in my opinion, the best time to hire a sixth hero is at the beginning of the second week.

Finally, I found someone who shares my views on this issue. And I want to say to you, gentlemen, that you are fixated on the second hero. You managed to do it once, and you've been playing that way ever since. Try something different, and then tell me.

And can you tell me how 6 beasts will help you?

Level 5-7 by the second week? Well, only if you're playing with the Summer mod, but I don't play with it, and I don't level up Dark magic for Warlocks either. And I don't play rush strategies either, because I'm tired of everyone thinking that Tier 3 units are useless in the late game. So I'm trying to learn how to play a long game, but there's no point in developing at such a crazy pace.

I provided a lot of arguments for and against, but your arguments boiled down to just the phrase "you're an idiot."

And the whole question boils down to whether, if it's still not clear, to build a tavern or Minotaurs in the first week.

I quickly played through the map. The save is quite challenging....
Level 9 hero with a mana potential of 75.
Try playing without support heroes.

P.S. Yes, this isn't a tournament, so anything is possible, and I didn't try to optimize everything. Otherwise, I could have used Lucretia to buff someone for more general damage... She was just fulfilling the role of a support hero, as any other hero could have been in the tavern.

Good afternoon, could you send the save file to my private message? I can't seem to download it.

I quickly played through the map. The save is quite challenging. I haven't played on the Passage map in a while and forgot how everything is laid out. I laughed a lot when I imagined taking everything with just one hero.
So, here's how it went. I took the sawmill and mine on the first day. On the second day, I took the Lurelings' dwelling. On the third day, I had 32 Trappers. If you do all these things with one hero, you'll have to forget about the mine, and there won't be anyone to upgrade the Trappers, because I described a small semicircle with a +1 to attack bonus, cleared out the Zombies and Skeletons at the Arena. Next, +1000 experience, mana doubling, cleared out the Dancers on silver, the Fury support helps clear out the Demons, took the Beasts' dwelling, again Dancers, +1 Knowledge, Demons, took the Defense in the Hut. I took some chests for experience. I bought both starting heroes. I had enough money on the 8th day to buy upgrades for the Furies and Stalkers and build the Town Hall. In a normal game, I would build it in the first week, as well as the Guild, but someone is claiming that the Tavern and Minotaurs are incompatible. So, I built the Minotaurs on the 7th day, even though I didn't really need them...
Hero level 9 with a potential mana of 75.
Try playing better without support heroes.

P.S. Yes, this isn't a tournament, so I didn't try to squeeze out everything possible. Otherwise, I could have used Lucretia to level up someone for general combat... She just performed the role of support, as any other hero could have been in the tavern.

I downloaded the save, played it once. On day 8, the hero is level 9 with stats 8-1-6-3. I cleared all the mines except for the gem mine (not critical in the first week) and the key master's tent. I visited the arena (+2 to attack, a skill point booster +1, and an experience stone).

having arguments that boiled down to just the phrase "you're an idiot."

Exactly. On this map, with some luck (or the ability to reload), you can capture all the mines except for the gem mine (which can be taken on the way to the center) and the key master, although in a real game, without Lethos, Cyclops are a bit of a risk, but in this particular generation, the terrain helps. However, I play this map with 4 heroes on week 1, although maybe 3 would be enough.
We're waiting for the results of Waishan and especially Rathnik.
