odnopozov dmitriy, if you don't want to replay missions 3 and 4 to get the complete set of dark magic and summoning spells, lower the difficulty to Veteran. It's very difficult to defeat Godric with a hero who doesn't have Phoenix. On Veteran, Godric can be easily defeated even without summoning magic.

How do I lower the difficulty level? I have the English version and I'm playing on the easiest difficulty. I've already completed all the missions twice, but I haven't found the Phoenix. Should I develop magic towers in the cursed castles?

You're amazing:smile49:, of course, you need to build a fully magic-focused build (Phoenix on the very last level) and, on top of that, you also need to level up the hero's summoning magic skill...

odnopozov dmitriy, if the difficulty level is lower than the hero's, clear the entire map, upgrade Markel, build castles, gather a huge army, and defeat Godric. Knight units should be transformed into undead. Peasants should be the last to be converted. A Phoenix isn't even needed here. Godric has only 1 castle, while you have 2 castles + external dwellings + joining units. Therefore, your army will grow much faster than Godric's.

A Phoenix is needed to defeat Godric on the hero's turn in the first week.

In treasure rooms, pyramids, and utopias, the set of spells changes every 4 weeks. Therefore, you can always obtain any spells of level 4 or higher if they are not available in the castles. All you need is patience and a developed school of magic.

Thank you, I will try.

Hello everyone! I've only recently started playing this game. I'm stuck on a mission for the Inferno faction. It's called "The Ship." I've captured the Inferno castle, built up an army, learned spells, and defeated the dragons, but as soon as I leave the castle, it gets recaptured, not giving me a chance to build up an army, so I have to go to Alaron, but his army is bigger, and I lose... Please advise, what should I do? Maybe attack the Elves?

Can elves be attacked?

I don't understand the phrase; of course, you need to attack the elves there; there are three castles besides Alaron's, if I remember correctly. Crush all the elves and then cut down Alaron.
The first time I played, I had 80 Cave Lords left in my army, and in the middle of the battle, 0 dragons flew out of Alaron's castle. One strike from the Cave Lords, and the dragons followed my army. That was the turning point. After that, Alaron hanged himself on his own scythe. :)
Of course, the last part was unnecessary; just some memories came flooding back.
P.S. Forest Flower, can you tell me the name of the character in your avatar?

To avoid replaying the entire mission, you can try the following:

Position all your troops in one spot, summon demons from the portal NEXT to your troops, and attack the archers (using succubi, ballista, and spells from your hero).

The AI usually gets incredibly slow at this point, instead of sending its dragons to destroy your army, it waits until (presumably) the ranged towers are destroyed or the archers run out of ammunition.

This tactic allows you to win what seems like a completely hopeless battle.

Forest Flower, there is a separate thread for each mission. You can find the answer much faster there.

First, I captured 3 Druid castles and recruited an army there. And only then did I go to the Dungeon. Just remember to transfer the Druids to another hero at night so they don't scatter.

What skills should Faidaen learn to improve her Combat Ability (CA)? I've never leveled up heroes before, and the skill tree isn't very clear. I know she needs Light Magic, Luck, and Logistics, but what else?

And that’s it; the remaining minor skills are in the Luck, Logistics, and Light branches. Just select “Absolute Luck” in the skill wheel.

Thank you for your help! I have another question: should I capture the Elves first, or attack Inferno? What's the best approach?

P.S. Forest Flower, could you tell me the name of the character in your avatar?

My avatar features my favorite character, Agrael/Raelag. In this picture, it's Raelag.

it’s better to capture three elven castles at the top first (clockwise); there are some nuances, and there’s a detailed walkthrough on Hugo’s website. Then, go underground, but don’t forget to transfer troops from Agrael “for the night” and level up Agrael himself before capturing the last castle.

"As far as I remember, in the original version (including 1.6), only the Warlock, Knight, and Wizard had the "Secrets of Light" skill. Later, in some version (I think it was an add-on with orcs), they made a major overhaul of the skills and gave many skills to everyone, but the original version remained unchanged.

Take a closer look at the skill wheel specifically for the original version of the game. The skill wheel for versions 3.0-3.1 or 2.0-2.x is completely different and doesn't apply.

By the way, Faidaen cannot take the super ability in the original because he starts with the "Tactics" skill, which blocks access to the super ability."

I have patch 1.6, so it's impossible to reach SA because they don't give "Secrets of Light" yet? And what does tactics have to do with it?

Thanks for your help!
