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

I don't remember exactly. As far as I recall, you have to fight Markel with all your heroes without reloading. So, it doesn't matter which hero you use to attack.

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

There are many cities and countless troops. Add some Knight units to Zehir's army.

Okay, but if I add troops in the previous mission, will they be saved for the next one? I think there's a standard set of troops for all heroes, regardless of the previous mission. Or is that not the case?

In the next mission, regardless of the version, only learned spells and leveled-up hero stats are carried over. Troops are standard at the beginning of each mission. In campaign mode, parts of assembled artifacts are also carried over.

Before the battle with Markel, I saw that he had a decent army – a hundred dragons, hundreds of liches, vampires, and zombies, and a huge number of archers, but in the battle, only a few (dozens) fought from each stack – I thought it would be harder, but it turned out to be very easy, especially against the hero...

In versions 1.x-2.x, you definitely need to upgrade Zehir with the "Exile" skill – it will be very helpful in the final mission. However, in version 3.x, it won't help Zehir.

What's so special about the 3.x versions? I've just finished a playthrough, and now I want to reinstall Windows. Is there a way to save all the campaigns and missions temporarily in another location without risking data loss? I'm planning to install Hammers of Fate afterward.

I completed this mission in a slightly unconventional way, meaning I didn't immediately free Godric from prison, but instead, I captured all the Imperial cities, using Astral Gates to move garrisons around the map. Only then did I read here where the prison was located and went to the Dungeon. Godric approached the first garrison (he literally approached it, but didn't attack), and the soldiers switched to our side. No one else joined him on the map, although I didn't attack them with Zephyr, thinking that Godric would recruit them all, but that didn't happen. In short, we explored the map, collected some loot (I also had another auxiliary heroine-mage), and built up the cities... Although we didn't manage to develop into angels and archangels because there was a large shortage of ore, but there were hundreds of paladins, not to mention thousands of militia and crossbowmen. We practically didn't have to fight neutrals; I let them all go in peace. As a result, Zephyr approached the final battle at level 24, Godric at level 22, and Faydaen at level 20. I already felt that playing as Zephyr was like using cheats; he defeated absolutely all his enemies without much effort. But, to cut a long story short, to defeat Markel with Zephyr, I had to work very hard, I reloaded about 3 times, and each time I fought for about 30-40 minutes; the computer was so overwhelmed that it froze, taking about 10 seconds to process each action, which hadn't happened before this battle. And all because Markel had his Attack and Defense skills well-developed, while Zephyr's were quite weak. And, for example, his 10 summoned skeletons could take down a couple of my paladins. By the way, I divided the main army into approximately three equal parts among the heroes; Faydaen, as expected, got more archers, Godric got more knights and paladins. In general, Zephyr used spells like Summon Elementals (for some reason, only water elementals were available), Summon Phoenix (this was when there were no Death Knights nearby, because they could take down this bird with 1200 hit points with a single touch), and he also actively used Resurrection and sometimes Holy Word to remove summoned undead from the battlefield, which was a bit overwhelming. After that, Godric fought, and I didn't even have time to blink before my troops defeated all the undead; the battle lasted about 1 minute. And Faydaen managed to capture the castle in about 5 minutes without much difficulty. By the way, it was only in the last campaign that I started using such a useful feature during battle as "wait" (the W key); before that, I didn't know about this possibility; maybe someone else doesn't know either.

In 3.0, the Exile skill was nerfed so much that it's not worth investing in. But in other versions, Zephyr uses Exile to destroy most of the enemies in the final battle.

My Zephyr couldn't even get close to the nearest castle without Godric - he was immediately defeated.

Fayden was level 35 at the end of the 5th campaign. He was able to defeat Markel with elven troops. But I added knight troops to Zephyr. They easily defeated the enemy on the first try. I played as the hero.

For me, all battles with Markel took place in the field, although I hid Zehir in the Castle, and as I understood, Markel didn't have a significant increase in power, so I could calmly build up my troops.

In the first campaign, I leveled him up to level 24. In the 3rd campaign, they reduced his level to 10, but kept all his skills, abilities, and characteristics. He leveled up again to level 20, which means he was almost equal to a level 34 hero. Plus, he bypassed all the level-up bonuses in these missions. Of course, he had all the spells of light magic.

If you want to have one like that, replay the 5th mission of the 1st campaign and the 2nd mission of the 3rd campaign, and level up Godrick to the fullest. You don't need to replay the 5th mission of the 3rd campaign, which I struggled with for a long time because of the leveled-up Godrick.

Following your advice, I replayed the 5th mission of the 1st campaign, leveled up Godrick to level 21, and then entered the 3rd campaign, 2nd mission through the campaign menu, but Godrick is again level 10, and his characteristics are not the ones I leveled up. What do you think is the reason for this?
P.S. I wanted to play with three strong heroes in this mission. And has anyone leveled up the mage's super ability in this campaign?

Following your advice, I replayed mission 5 of the first campaign, leveled up Godric to level 21, and then accessed the third campaign, mission 2, through the campaign menu. However, Godric is back to level 10, and his stats are not the ones I had leveled up. What do you think is causing this?

To have him be level 21, you need to replay all the missions, or something like that.

That’s exactly the issue; there’s no Godric between these two missions, and I deleted the old save file. It’s strange, especially since someone mentioned above that replaying even just one mission is enough:smile32:

The mission was challenging in the middle, but towards the end, it became very easy. I amassed huge armies and went to defeat Markel (he always has the same armies).
