approximately what size?

approximately what size?

what size are you talking about? :confused: Collect everything from all your hired heroes,
take everything from Duncan, leave him with only one peasant,
and then set sail with a song... :smile03:

so, the army will be like this:
Paladins 3
Angels 2
Archers 26
Militia 93
Griffins 8
Monks 0

(this is right after liberating Dunkan)

so, your army will be like this:
Paladins 3
Angels 2
Archers 26
Militia 93
Griffons 8
Monks 0

So, you've already "cleared" the garrison and taken the port city?
Then save and go ahead, onto the ship...:smile02:
If you "get your butt kicked" - go back to the save and gather
your troops.:smile16:
You have three of your own cities, and two red ones -
the growth is huge!!!

Here's the thing, I've almost explored the entire map, and then Andreas shows up with an amazing army and defeats Frieda. What should I do? Tell me step by step how you managed to overcome this:smile17: :smile39:

Don't bother fighting him; he's incredibly lucky, you won't win anyway. For example, I assembled an army, freed Duncan, and quickly headed to the castle, while hiding Duncan in the church, which is nearby. I stayed in the castle, building up my army. This stupid undead guy kept wandering around near my castle but didn't attack. But when I took Duncan out of the sanctuary, he immediately rushed over. He just kept going back and forth. Meanwhile, my castles started getting captured. I went to the port castle; it had two garrisons. It's better to take the one that's closer to the enemy (because they won't go through the far one; they're not that stupid). You take the garrison (if you don't have enough troops, you'll suffer heavy losses). Andreas will immediately come after you. Quickly capture the port castle and stay there. Then, build a shipyard. You don't need to bring Duncan out, although you can use him as bait. Get on the newly built ship, and an enemy ship with a good army will sail towards you. It will start a battle and immediately retreat. Mission accomplished! =)"

You’re absolutely right!

I'm having a bit of trouble with this red Adrias – I've already killed him three times (they won't let me redeem him), but the funniest (and saddest) thing is that he has many clones – one attacks me, another is in the red castle, and a third is near the garrisons – it's just ridiculous – and I have handcuffs, but he still resurrects... (version 3.0 hero).

bonchik, do you have a “pirated” game disc?

I don't have the Golden Edition, but I did install mod 3.0 – maybe the script is triggering it, or perhaps it's supposed to be this way, and I'm just making a fuss for no reason?

Listen to how I played through the 1st campaign, 5th mission. There, I start moving around, capturing mines, and then a red one appears with a rather large army and doesn't capture the castle but chases after me. What should I do? Added 3 minutes later: How do I defeat Andvarias?

Isabel1999, have you tried reading the 4th page of the topic?:cool: It seems like everything is explained there... to the point where I can't add anything more. :smile43:

...Having "Resurrection" in her arsenal, she was invincible. Her army didn't even dwindle.

I only got "Resurrection" in this mission, at level 5 of the Guild of Mages, in the second captured Castle, the human one, located near the exit from the dungeon, formerly turquoise. Before that, I had to make do with "Subjugation" and "Battle Frenzy," as well as "Raise Dead," and Frieda acquired "Create Phantom" in the "Duncan" mission, when capturing his Castle. Thanks to "Subjugation," I managed to conquer that very first human Castle:smile02:! By the way, at the same level 5, I also got "Portal to Town," which is also great:smile03:.
To attack the garrison guarding Duncan, I would go to the "improvement tower" and turn Angels into Archangels.
By the way, about companions, I hired a former turquoise player, level 24, who was sitting in the first human Castle about 3 days after I captured that very Castle. This nasty fellow, like my Frieda, has a Guardian Angel - when I captured his Castle, he resurrected as many as 196 militia... But Frieda and I still defeated him:smile13:!
What is the maximum level Frieda and Duncan can reach? For now, she is level 27, and Duncan is level 23. I keep fighting, but I don't see any progress. In the witch's hut, I only got "Battle Frenzy," but we would like "Phoenix":smile08:...

Where is the Fortress on the hill located?

How do I build a ship, and what am I missing? Please help.
