The game is called Arcomage. It first appeared in the 7th installment. By the way, becoming a champion in Arcomage is one of the game's quests. Completing it grants a substantial bonus in artifacts (similar to the 7th game). In addition to the alliance of 4 nations (Trolls, Minotaurs, Necromancers/Clerics, Dragons/Knights), you will have to form an alliance with the inseparable duo of Katherine Gryphonheart and Roland Ironfist. You will also have to take a ride on a submarine, fire from a Big Bertha, and defeat the Lords of Elementals. And you can recruit up to 3 dragons. No one can stand against this force.

My Necromancer somehow obtained a sunbeam:eek: (from light magic) and made it active:confused:. Also, with the Book of Helya, I found Elsenrail (a blade of light, the opposite of Glomenthal). Although I had played through it before and didn't find it, and also in a tree on the square of Raven's Shore, I dug up knight's armor with 70 defense and a price of 20,000.

Where is that tree? There's actually an artifact hidden there. But finding it is another story.
And what about Necromancers? Dragons are what really matter. Everything else is just for show. I didn't enjoy playing as a Lich, so I chose a Dark Elf, but I played without using dark magic. I didn't really like it anyway. I prefer to bless myself and fight in melee.

I'm playing as a Dark Elf Patriarch, a Lich, a Sun Priest, a Vampire, and another Dark Elf Patriarch - Kauri, who will later be replaced by a dragon. :)
Tree location:
2 trees on the west side of the river, if you go north from the 2nd bridge (where the centaurs are). The chest will open if you click on the tree when the game displays "tree" above the heroes.
P.S. The Lich is very cheerful and brings optimism to the whole team, and he also speaks English.

They shouldn't have included dragons in the pack. :)
You can immediately go from the Isles of Knifewound to the Serpent's Gulch and hire a dragon. Then, complete the Dragon Quest and deal with the crusaders. You'll quickly reach level 20, and then the second dragon will be waiting for you. And so on. In principle, you need either a Dark Elf or a Necromancer for the dragons. To cast Town Portal and Lloyd's Beacon.
And everything else is unnecessary. :)
Believe it or not, during the game, I found 4 identical swords (I think they're called Serpent). One in the Crusader's castle, the second one there, but six months later. One in the Hive, and one in some dimension. :)
There are too many artifacts

I found the Staff of Elements in a dragon's cave in the Iron Wastes, which increases fire, air, water, and earth – I don't know if it increases spell resistance or effectiveness?:confused:, but it reduces defense by 40:mad:.
And a crossbow for the Dark Elves for 30,000 gold. It has increased speed, but accuracy is reduced by 50:(. I don't know who would need such a crossbow? And does anyone know what the Ring of Synthesis is? I found it, but the description only says: o

They shouldn't have included dragons in the pack.:)
You can go straight from the Isle of Dagger Wound to the Serpent's Gorge and immediately hire a dragon. Then complete the Dragon Quest and deal with the Crusaders. You'll quickly reach level 20, and then the second dragon will be waiting:) And so on. Basically, you need either a Dark Elf or a Necromancer to use dragons, so they can cast Town Portal and Lloyd's Beacon.
Everything else is unnecessary:)
Believe it or not, I found 4 identical blades (I think they're called Serpent Blades) during the game. One in the Crusader castle, the second in the same place but 6 months later. One in the Hive:) And one in some dimension:)
There are too many artifacts. I didn't know what to do with them at the end.

Dragons are not included for no reason. They deal colossal damage and have huge health. And artifacts can be sold or given to other heroes in the tavern. You also need a cleric because the necromancer is a fragile character, and if someone drives him insane...

And I think that all Might and Magic games are not a successful project; it's a game for a specific audience, not quite an action game, not quite an RPG – a strange mix!

I think all Might and Magic games are unsuccessful projects, appealing only to a niche audience. It's a strange game, a mix of action and RPG, like a bulldog with a rhinoceros!

Nevertheless, it has just as many fans, if not more, than the Heroes series.

As far as I'm concerned, you're not the one to judge this topic, Nasarog. Learn to write грамотно and stay on topic, because your posts are unpleasant to read.

Heh... it's strange that you compared a classic RPG with an action game... Either the person doesn't understand what an RPG is, or they don't understand what an action game is, or both.

A mix of RPG and action, for example, is the classic Hexen... but definitely not the great games from the Might and Magic series.

in my opinion, you shouldn't be discussing this topic, nAsarog. Learn to write грамотно and stay on topic, because your posts are unpleasant to read.

I agree with DM_RUDD.

I found a Druid's Bracelet in the Whispering Woods, in a stone circle.
Does anyone know what properties it has and where to wear it?
And does anyone know what will happen if you complete Sandro's quest (i.e., what will the video show)?

Investigate stone circle
This quest seems to have been excluded at the last moment (or left unfinished). Inside the Stone Circle, there is a dungeon filled with stones, dwarves, and giant demolisher’s. Behind secret walls, you will find three chests with magnificent contents — lots of gold, relics, artifacts, and expensive gear. In one of the chests lies the Circlet of Power — the Druids' crown. It couldn't be used for anything, but for the sake of the loot, it is worth spending time clearing this dungeon.

Regarding the cinematic. I played as the light side, therefore this is a retelling from another player's words.
Sandro places (whatever needed to be stolen) on top of the tower, and the way to the Temple of the Sun opens for the Necromancer. Which is exactly where the crowd of skeletons heads:)

Thanks. Imagine, I found 3 artifacts in the air castle! :) A longbow with 50 accuracy (the same as the snipers from the third game). Some kind of shield that gave immunity to petrification, diseases, and something else, but reduced leadership by 15:mad: It has 14 defense. A hat that increases luck by 90:), but reduces leadership by 50:( P.s. I chose the Dragon Alliance, but then all the shops and stables in the Serpent's Lair suddenly closed:eek:? Is this a bug or is it planned in the scenario?
