Posts from Worshipper – “Agral’s Decision” [Campaign 2, Mission 5]

I am playing as a Recruit.

Well, I'm not playing on a hero either. Veteran... but I think it's too easy on a recruit.

The number of dragons depends on the game duration and difficulty level. When I first exited the dungeon to fight Nicholas and his satraps, I had 70+ emerald dragons. The enemies fled from Faidan as fast as they could. If they managed to catch someone in an open field, they would immediately run away from the battlefield, even if they had more than 100 dragons. Catching them is not easy, as I didn't invest in logistics.

I played through the game in version 3.0 using a hero.

This stage is easy; first, you need to run on foot, and then swim to the succubus.

The mission is very simple. Reach the island where the emerald dragons are, and behind them, the altar of magic. Defeat the dragons with chaos magic. Hopefully, you have it. At the altar, take the ship summoning spell. Summon the ship. Sail to the cartographer. Buy a map. Sail to the island to the right of Tieru (Tieru is on the island with the bridge. It's in the middle of the map, you'll find it). There, defeat the druids and go through the tunnels to Tieru's island. Defeat the dragons easily with chaos magic and 15 karats (they are on one of the small islands). Watch the cutscene. (Tieru and Agrael are awesome!)
Hero difficulty.

Actually, this map has two dragon squads: one on the easternmost island, where you can recruit the most (I have 20-30). Behind these (first) dragons is an altar with level 1 spells (in this case, "Summon Ship"), and you can immediately summon a ship. As has been mentioned many times, you sail to the cartographer and buy a map. I've often wondered why they only ask for 4000 gold for such a useful item? I would ask for 20000, at least.
Also, when I was getting to this island, I noticed a druid sitting on a rock on the central island, so as soon as I revealed the entire map, I sailed to that island.
On the island with the druid, directly in front of the druid, there is a bridge, at the base of which is the second dragon squad (I have 10-20). You need to go as far as possible across the bridge, and then there will be a mini-cutscene and the end of the mission.

I completed this mission quickly (played for 2-3 days), but yesterday I finished it in 15 minutes. Now I'm stuck on the 4th mission with the Necromancers; I hope to complete it next week.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I really want to know: is Agrail by any chance the father of Nikolai (I'm at the level of the battle with Gilraen, I'm playing through it recently)?

Is Agrail by any chance Nicholas's father (I'm at the level of the battle with Gilraen, I'm playing it recently)?

I apologize, but I want to answer: Agrail is Nicholas's killer, but definitely not his father. And why are you fighting me?:D

Agrail reached level 26, collected gold from chests, and gained experience through battles. Only similar units joined the army, and even then, I had to fight for them. There's no point in talking about joining the army of Elves or others. I actively used the "Phantom Summon" spell, but it didn't help – I approached the dragons, and there were 35 of them. By the way, there is a "Creature Summon" spell, but there's no one to summon – meaning, there are no cities along the way:smile50:. The army isn't large, but all units have been upgraded using the fort on the hill. This time, I decided not to return for reinforcements every week to avoid increasing the enemy's power. For some reason, I didn't reach the cartographer, even though I'm playing for the second time, albeit with a break of almost six months. In short, the final battle is ahead... To complete this scenario in advanced mode, I probably should have built up my power in my own city and studied magic for my units. These are just reflections on the previous scenario, where I had to defeat Gilraen. I captured the Elven cities and studied magic to the maximum in their cities, and in my own city, I only built a level 1 mage tower. Maybe that's where the mistake lies? Agrail emerged from the previous scenario weak, in my opinion. It turns out there was a bug in the game, and after the 3rd mission, I was immediately allowed to proceed to the 5th mission. That is, I captured all the Elven cities and started building an army to fight Gilraen, and he was already running away from me. Then a window popped up – "Mission completed," and I didn't even have time to fight the angels on the bridge?! After that, in the menu, I selected what seemed to be the next mission, but I couldn't defeat the dragons... And then I started reading about the previous mission and realized that I hadn't even had it; that's when I discovered that I had somehow skipped the 4th mission, "The Ship," which is why Agrail turned out to be weak. So, be careful! May victory inspire you!

Wow, how come so many people have those dragon hordes appearing before the bridge?

I'm playing Heroes for the second time now (well, sort of – my husband played it the first time, and I just watched him play sometimes). I breezed through this mission on one try (version 1.6, "Veteran" difficulty). I went across the entire map through the islands and the dungeon. There were 15 dragons, if I remember correctly. I defeated them easily, even on auto-battle!

Wow, how do so many people get such large groups of dragons to appear before the bridge?

And here's how! The second time, I had 59 of them instead of 35! But I successfully defeated them all without much difficulty by creating succubus phantoms. This time, I only started gaining experience towards the end of the Campaign; before that, I only took gold from the very beginning. By the way, as a bonus at the beginning of the game, I decided to take the succubus sisters instead of the sextant – I didn't move as slowly as I could have.
In the previous "Ship" Campaign, I played it to the maximum, defeating everyone who didn't want to join in order to raise Agrael's level to the maximum – I brought him to level 30. I didn't get any "babes" or "dragons," as many people wrote here; I probably didn't learn the "Suggestion" spell because I only studied elven magic in all the cities, and no one offered "Ur-Gash's Call" in the demon castle, even after sacrificing all the demon creatures. My army consisted only of units from the elven cities; when I saw that they started to run away over time, I hired an elven hero, whom I used in the previous Campaign, and took him with me everywhere – no one ran away from him; we switched "armies" for the duration of the battle (I gave him a couple of demonoids). If I left the army with Agrael, even for just one night, a couple of elven units would always run away...

Now I want to ask, has anyone raised Agrael above level 30? Are there any? What is the maximum level he could be raised to?
By the way, I probably wasn't studying elven magic for nothing, because Tieru cleansed Agrael for subsequent missions in the name of good, if I understand correctly? Where will Agrael appear in the future?
Now I've started the Necropolis Campaign with Marvel.

She didn't get any "babushka" or "drabinka" spells, as many people here wrote, nor did she learn the "Suggestion" spell, probably because she only studied elven magic in all the cities, and no one offered "Call of Urgash" in the demon castle, even after sacrificing all the demon creatures.

A super ability is a unique, powerful skill for each race. It can be obtained with a specific combination of regular skills. For demons, it's "Call of Urgash" – opening the gates of hell happens instantly. You can see how to get it in the skills wheel. I haven't taken it yet. I want to try getting it in the Campaigns as the Ranger – I'm more or less familiar with the elves.

Added 8 minutes later

Now I want to ask, has anyone leveled up Agrael to above level 30? Are there any? What's the maximum level he could be leveled up to?
By the way, I probably wasn't studying elven magic for nothing, because Tieru purified Agrael for subsequent missions in the name of good, if I understand correctly? Where will Agrael appear later?
I've now started the Campaigns for Necropolis with Marvel.

My Agrael ended up at a lower level, 28 or 29. And what is elven magic? Light magic? Chaos magic? I can say that in any case, it was for nothing, Tieru turned Agrael into the beautiful dark elf Railag, apparently completely purifying him. So Railag will start the 4th Campaign at level 1. There will be a real mess later! I envy you – you're having fun, and I already know the whole story(((

P.S. I also started playing as Marvel today. We're on the same page!

What is Elven magic?

Elven magic has "Return to Town" - this is the main one, there was also "Resurrection", but my Agrael couldn't master that spell. And "Return to Town" in the "Ship" mission only worked for the nearest town, although there were games where this spell worked for any town - a list of your towns appeared, and you could choose. This was, if I'm not mistaken, in Heroes 3 or 4. These same spells were in the Guilds of Mages for humans, where you could hire Angels, although Archangels can resurrect the fallen themselves, but after the battle, all the resurrected ones, as far as I remember, went back to the afterlife.

Railag will start the 4th campaign from level 1.

:eek: I'm in shock!:smile05: So much effort... P.S.: See you in the next topic!

Elven magic has "Return to Town" - this is a basic spell; there was also "Resurrection," but my Agrael couldn't master it. And in the "Ship" mission, "Return to Town" only worked for the nearest town, although there were games where this spell worked for any town – a list of your towns would appear, and you could choose. I think it was in Heroes 3 or 4. These same spells were also available in the Mage Guilds for humans, where you could hire Angels. However, Archangels can resurrect fallen creatures themselves, but after the battle, all the resurrected ones, as far as I remember, would go back to the afterlife.

No, no, "Return to Town," as well as various "Astral Gates" and "Summon Reinforcements" – these are a special group of spells; I don't know what they're called, something like "expeditionary" spells. You can get them in the Mage Guild by reaching a certain level, regardless of race (it seems you need level 12 for "Portal to Town"). In Heroes 3, I definitely remember that you could choose the town if you had the appropriate skills; in 4, you couldn't (teleportation, like in 5, only works for the nearest town).

"Resurrection" is a level 5 spell from the school of light. In principle, anyone can learn it (not just an elf) if they have the "Skilled Light Magic" skill.
