Posts from Wizard – “The Triumvirate” [Campaign 6, Mission 3]

To effectively combat Zehir's summoned creatures, it's worth investing in the "Banish" skill. Otherwise, the final mission will be very difficult.

Explain to me, like I'm an idiot, how to use save files? I don't have any myself, but I understand that they are some kind of keys, but I don't know how and what to do with them. I've been playing honestly all this time, I'm just embarrassed that I don't know something so basic.

lapka, is it true that you still play through all the missions in one go without turning off your computer?

1. Quick save - F5, quick load - F8.
2. Normal save - F6 (you need to specify a name or agree with the suggested one), load any save - F7 (simple, quick, or auto).
3. When starting the game, you can select the "Load" menu item and load the desired save. They are sorted in descending order of save time. The most recent one will be at the top of the list.
4. Autosaves are automatically saved after a specified number of turns. I don't have the game on hand. I don't remember offhand if you can enable/disable them and adjust the save frequency in the game settings, or if you need to adjust user.cfg. You can easily find the necessary parameters there.

So, is this saving in Russian? Oh, I thought it was some kind of code for a better playthrough. Sorry for being so clueless, of course, I saved, but I guess people are asking for save files for a reason, right?

lapka, people are asking for save files, mainly when they lose the ability to select previously completed missions for some reason, or they can't complete a particular mission. There are codes for making the game easier, or even for cheating. You can add things to yourself, reduce things from the enemy, or even give yourself an instant win. I wouldn't advise using them, as I don't know how, and I don't want to know. If Godrick is well-developed in C1M5 and C3M2, he can defeat everyone on his own. Also, in version 1.5, a garrison joined him.

what is cheating?

I play fairly.

what exactly is cheating?

Lapka, here's what it says: here :smile12:

Kitty thanks :smile26:

By the way, I completed this mission, HOORAY!!!

Guys, please tell me, is it impossible to buy auxiliary heroes in this mission?

I also encountered a difficulty. At first, I explored the Dungeon, captured all the neutral creatures. I broke through the gates, but there I was met by an army of Griffons, which gave me a beating. Maybe I overlooked something in the Dungeon?

BRIT, since you've explored the entire Dungeon, you already know where Godric is. I also didn't find him right away, even though I played this mission in version 1.5 (now I'm playing it in version 3.0). By that time, Elaine, with a decent army, had already crossed the garrison and was heading towards the Dungeon.

I started the mission again and immediately ran to free Godric, clearing only what was in the way to the prison. I just made a detour to the peasant huts. Godric is maxed out.

After that, everything went as easily as in version 1.5. The garrison joined Godric. Elaine holed up in the farthest Necropolis. Godric easily defeated Rutger and captured the nearest Castle. And then all the others.

In the final battle, all 3 heroes must defeat Markel without reloading. So, I strengthened Zehir with knight troops. Faidaen had enough elven troops. There was a week of elven archers. They appeared on the map in large numbers. More than 100 joined Faidaen. With the other heroes, I tried not to touch them if I could avoid it.

Of course, all the heroes must max out their stats and visit all the upgrade locations before the battle with Markel. They will also have to fight Biara and the Master in the final mission.

If Godric is not well-leveled, there may be problems.

GUYS! So, I'm playing the Triumvirate mission right now. I approach a town in the north. Lucretia is there. In her army, there's NICHOLAS VAMPIRE!! But his name isn't Nicholas Vampire. It's Boris Nikolaevich. He has these abilities: undead, vampire princess, life drain(!), and a cool attack – I almost died laughing, here's the description: "Boris Nikolaevich was born to become the first president of Russia. But in the end, his health failed him, or the special services put pressure on him..." And how do you take screenshots?

I'm having the same problem; the garrisons are NOT JOINING Godric, they just pass him by. Maybe I'm not paying attention, but is it worth capturing the nearest town from the first garrison, or should I go further to the next garrisons? Even if I capture the first town and start developing it, when I move towards the next towns, two strong heroes appear one after another, and if I don't defeat one, the second one kills Godric (with a small army)...

Maybe Godric arrived at the garrison too late? I freed Godric first. Godric immediately ran upstairs to start killing everyone, while Zephyr stayed behind to clear out the dungeon. All the enemy heroes, upon Godric's appearance, immediately hid in their castles. Without logistics, he couldn't catch up to them. The garrison joined. I easily took all the castles. I played through the campaign with this hero.

But I have my own approach. I started maxing out Godric from the very first campaign. The AI clearly sees not only the hero's army but also the hero's stats. Even with a slight numerical advantage, it tries to hide from a strong hero. With his stats, Godric instilled fear in all enemies already in the 3rd campaign (he also made it difficult for me to defeat him). He also maxed out his stats there.

I figured it out. I just needed to stop at the garrison and move the troops from there. I rushed through it, and without the troops from the first garrison, it's impossible to hold out against the heroes. Can you advise me on what to do? I've captured all the cities and assembled a decent army, which I gave to Godric, but the other heroes have weaker armies. I'm planning to "go after Markel." Which hero should I use to kill him, or should I divide the troops equally among the heroes? I have the fastest and most developed hero, Faidaen...
