Posts from Godric vs. Markel

Hey everyone, I'd like some advice on tactics for playing as a Knight against the Necropolis faction. We're playing with a friend on the Empire map. It's version 3.1. We've been playing for about two months. On this map, the campaign heroes are available. This weekend, we played Faidaen (me) vs. Markel (him). Faidaen lost badly. In the near future, I plan to take revenge with Godric). I basically know the tactics – training more cavalry is key, but Markel is incredibly strong, so I'd like to ask for advice on what might help me against him?

On the large map, he will unite all the undead that are there!
The heroes are not at all equal in strength!

It's better to take Rai'lag (he is also kind in his own way).

Yes, I have nothing against Railag either. I just wanted to see how a Knight fares against the undead!

Then, take Frida in the 3.0 editor.

A Knight can handle a lot against the undead, but against Markel, you need someone stronger – for example:
1. Godrick – well, I don’t know, he has two perks at the beginning, Light and Leadership, which are harder to level up, although Prayer does its job... if you collect a Lion set, you might get lucky... but overall, he's a decent hero (you can easily level him up through Combat Arts – the best choice... and then, under your supervision, the hero will destroy the entire army).
(If you think about it, it's possible that there will be a week of some kind of undead, like vampires, and then it will be tough).
2. Frida – she's also not bad, her ability is simply made for the late game... so if Markel finds 30 undead + his 30, the total might be enough to kill someone with one hit, and that's when we'll need Frida with her Divine Retribution...
...And also, if the map has the Tear of Ashera, it's better to find it quickly, and you're good to go...
3. Dugald, Laslo – they're decent guys because there's a guarantee that they won't be defeated at the beginning, and when you have more archers or squires, you train them instead of paladins... and it's desirable to have Eternal Light...
4. Axel – he's just a great find for the late game, training paladins forever, and that's the end for any Markel – it's better to take paladins... Knights and Isabel hit hard, but there's a risk that Berserk will be applied...
...Conclusion:
If we play for two and a half months, there will be enough time to buy artifacts: it's desirable to find Academy or League castles and collect a set: Lion or Dwarven, on a large map, anything is possible...
...Markel will try to overwhelm with numbers and use magic, Darkness, or Summoning + something from other skills: Defense or Education, so we go through Combat Arts and beat the undead.

Thank you. For the advice. Markel won!

Who would doubt it? There are no other options when the skill level is the same.

I agree, and the cooler the hero... well, the cooler and stronger he is!
