Posts from Wizard – “Hope of Zephyr” [Campaign 6, Mission 5]

Each hero must defeat both the demon and Biara.

Seriously? Wow, I'm such an idiot... I mean, do you really think I'm that stupid? Of course, you have to play through with all the heroes... It's just that after completing the game, it doesn't register as a completed mission; instead, it starts a new campaign against the Overlord!

Please advise – I'm in the debugging phase, and everything is going wrong. I'm using version 1.6, and it's incredibly frustrating. I've already played through a lot.


Oh, I made a mistake. I'm having problems in "Haven" during mission 4.

The mission also seemed easy, but Zephyr turned out to be my weakest hero; only summoning phoenixes and using the Banish spell saved me. Faydaen and especially Railag completely crushed everyone, and Godric was left with only angels at the end.

Seriously? Faydaen is the one getting torn apart for me... Even if that's the case, tell me what's good about Faydaen:smile14: :smile13:

I'm not very good at this game; I play it very rarely, just for fun, but I can't seem to beat the last mission no matter what I try. None of the four have "Exile." I tried to level them up in the previous mission, but it didn't work... In the final battle, the Mage on the "elephant" gets taken down, and that's it... I shared Archangels from Godric with him, but it didn't help...
I don't know what to do; it's so frustrating...

A huge request – please provide the stats for Markelov, Biar, and the Overlords so I can figure out how to level up Zephyr. Also, by the way, I still don't understand whether Fedi, Godrick, Railagi-Agrail, etc., come with the stats that I set during the previous missions, or are those stats determined by the game?

Zeheer needs a super skill (so "Education" with "Mentorship", "Machines" with "Machine Mastery", and "Spellcraft" are essential) + "Leadership" with "Logistics"... Then the last mission can be completed in a couple of weeks without much difficulty.

This is the last mission - The Grand Departure - and it can be completed in a couple of weeks. But in the original game, victory is achieved on the very first day.

In general, it's great to ask one question and get an answer to a completely different one. I can look at the skill wheel myself (although it's not clear whether it's for version 1.60 or not; if not, which version should I refer to – 2.1 or 3.0?).
I can want anything for my hero, but who will give it to me? What is the probability of getting the skills and abilities that I would like to acquire (it seems to be approaching 0)?

I had the same bug. I saved the game, and the next day I continued playing. I won the battle against the Warlord, watched the cutscene, but nothing happened afterward. I checked the quests, and nothing was marked! BUT when I played through the entire game in one day without saving, I didn't have any of these issues. I watched the final cutscene, and the game ended.

There, after you kill the Overlord, a cutscene plays, then it should say "Mission completed," and then a cutscene with Isabelle. It's probably a bug. Try killing him again.

It went smoothly.
1. We visit the flag, approach the garrison, and jump over it using astral gates (to avoid losing the army).
2. We rush to Biara's castle. We defeat her one by one. I only deployed the strongest creatures. There's little point in using weak creatures; they just get in the way.
3. Before the Lord's castle, we restore mana from the well.
4. We need to break through the fire wall one by one. I deployed archangels and titans from each army to take care of the weaker units. And the catapult takes down the wall in two shots; I only lost two archangels because of the wall, when it started spitting fire.
5. And finally, the encounter with the Lord: He was torn to shreds. Zephyr was weak, and his army was badly damaged... But "banishment" saved the day. Even the phoenix wasn't needed. I summoned elementals once. And we finished off the remaining enemies without any problems.
Congratulations on the long-awaited victory!

I've gone through 9 pages and still haven't found an answer to my question – which troops are best to use against Biaara and the Overlord?
Should I keep the initial troops, i.e., each hero with their own, or move the strongest troops from the battle with Biaara to the battle with the Overlord? For example, I had a faint hope that only one hero would fight, so I gave all the strongest troops to my Zephyr with his banishment, resurrection, suggestion, and battle frenzy (he turned out to be a "sweetheart" by the last mission, unlike the others) – we defeated Biaara, and I left the troops the same, i.e., I didn't return the strongest troops from Zephyr "home." We made it through the Overlord's shield this way, but when we met the Overlord himself, Paladins and Phantoms couldn't save Godric, so I'll have to replay it. I'm just wondering how to arrange the troops now; maybe I'll return the Archangels to Godric, and we'll fight with him, but what about Faidaen? It will be more difficult – will dragons and a Phoenix save him?!

If your heroes are well-leveled, there's no need to transfer units between them – in certain cases, this can lead to poor morale (heterogeneous troops, etc.). Besides, everyone will have to fight anyway. But if there are problems with leveling, then, of course, you can't do without transfers. For example, my Railag didn't turn out very well, so I had to transfer the Ents to Faidaen, and even then, he barely managed to win that battle. At the same time, Faidaen coped wonderfully without the Ents. Here's another tip: first, you fight not with the Lord himself, but with the wall. The trick is that you need to hold out for 2 turns. It's better not to attack anyone during these 2 turns so as not to lose troops due to retaliation. And it's even better not to deploy all your units. Also, if you have a skill like "Catapult" (the catapult fires 2 projectiles at once), the battle with the wall will end before it even begins. That's all I can remember off the top of my head. Yes, Railag has the most difficult battle – he fights last against the largest army. So be prepared.

...the trick is to hold out for 2 turns. It's better not to attack anyone during these 2 turns, so as not to lose troops due to retaliation. And it's even better not to deploy all your units...

Yes, I also came to that conclusion, especially when fighting Railag and Zephyr - why take unnecessary risks?

I returned all the strong units to their owners, started summoning phoenixes from those who had this ability, cast "Celestial Shield" on the strong units, and, of course, resurrected them whenever possible. Zephyr with his "Banish" really pleased me :smile54: - it destroys ALL summoned enemy units that are currently on the battlefield :smile11:! By the way, phoenixes are very resistant to the Master's wave and perform their summoning well :smile44:. And Railag was saved by "Empowered Meteor Shower" and his dragons!
Now I'm waiting for advice - what to play next :smile13:, with a continuation of the story I started, please write it down in order. I heard that there is "Hammers of Fate" and something else.
Please tell me how to install them correctly, where to install them, and whether it is possible to delete these Heroes before installing the add-ons? Where can I download a normally working game, without glitches, so that I don't get disappointed in the middle of the campaign?
