Posts from The “An Eye for an Eye” scenario. Auto-translated

A very original and undeservedly forgotten scenario – has no one played it and does anyone want to discuss it?:confused:
In my opinion, it's the best because the main character is a dark elf.

The scenario is really great, but it’s definitely not forgotten; there was even a tournament held for it:
/topic/4578/
28 people signed up, and 5 participated (if my memory serves me correctly). So you could say that everyone has already “discussed” it enough ;), but maybe not.

I read a blog post and didn't understand something: Was the tournament held in hero mode? (Sorry if I'm asking a silly question).

To be honest, I don't remember; it was held almost 2 years ago.

I'm just curious how, in a month and a half, you can assemble an army from a single Castle capable of defeating a garrison of 140 Lava Dragons, 280 Thanatos, 780 Priests, 780 Berserkers, and over 1000 Riders, and over 1000 Archers and over 1000 Guardians, especially considering that after the first month, you are immediately attacked: first by a hero with 14 Lava Dragons, 28 Thanatos, 30 Priests, and some other minor units (I don't remember the exact numbers), and then, as soon as you defeat him, the main hero attacks with an army twice as strong as the first one (and he is level 26 himself). Not to mention all sorts of non-story-related encounters that constantly pop up.

You can't bypass the garrison using Astral Gates – they are excluded from the storyline.

I didn't believe it myself until the winner posted recordings of the battles, in which he won using "invincible" chaos magic and ranged attacks. In principle, you can max out magic skills in less than a month, and then it's just a matter of technique and skill. Sometimes I'm surprised how people figure out how to complete maps in such clever ways and take strongholds with small armies. Years of training and continuous gameplay in Heroes.

I also play with Chaos magic and Rangers (and I use Letus as my main hero, who uses Plague at the beginning of the battle, which doubles the effect). My record in Hero mode is 125 days, and I defeat the main hero on day 41 (considering that, according to the scenario, he should appear only on day 35). After that, it becomes a monotonous grind (or rather, a grind against the outpost). Even in the most favorable scenario, when I managed to get a full set of Sar-Issa's attire, it's still impossible to summon more than 140 Priests and other units at once (about 25 Titans, 10-15 Dragons, etc.), which means you have to attack the outpost at least 10 times. This takes 40 days, even with the most upgraded logistics and Traveler's Boots. In this regard, I would believe someone if they said they completed it in 100 days, but 45 days is the limit. Maybe there are some tools I'm not aware of? Oh, I completely forgot to mention that the garrison (as well as the enemy hero with significantly superior forces) is, of course, attacked by no more than 7 Rangers. You terrorize the garrison with Plague and Chaos until you have only one Ranger left (and then you retreat home). By the way, in the online game, there is a great countermeasure against this: enchanted arrows of the High Elves kill invisible targets (and, of course, there is Armageddon, Word of Destruction, Mines, Wall of Fire, Meteor Shower, Plague – all these spells destroy both Rangers and Night Lords)

Well, I don't know, I'm not an expert, I'm a newbie in Heroes :D, and I don't really know much about walkthroughs.

Yes! I partially retract my words; tonight, in hero mode, I completed this scenario in 82 days (on day 40, I defeated the main hero; in the following five weeks, after eight attempts, I breached the gate with the garrison; and in the last five days, I captured two dwarf cities). But how else can I improve the result in 40 days? I don't understand. (And I didn't negotiate with the demon; I kept the "Tome of Chaos" for myself.) I'm posting the final screenshot (I'm on the bottom line; the rest are the standard saves that come with the game; I don't know how they were made), and I have ten more saves from the game that I can also post.

I can’t seem to beat this scenario. Can anyone give me some tips? The dwarves keep defeating me.

The simplest option is to make Lethos your main hero (and make him a supporting hero in the scenario) and develop his summoning skills. While the huntresses/beastmasters are in invisibility, the phoenix can decimate the enemy army. And high-level Dark magic isn't a burden – with "Berserk" and "Dominate" skills, the task becomes extremely simple (just find a Dark magic spellbook).

Thank you, everything worked out.

Surprisingly, there were no problems with the scenario at all. No one attacked me; I calmly ran around, leveling up Agbhet. First, I cleared the entire map before heading to the dwarves, then I gathered an army and ran to them. I was shocked by the garrison))) I stood next to it and, using Summon Troops, regularly summoned an army from the castle (I had plenty of money))) That's when I realized why Dark Ritual is needed: p I used it to restore mana after Summon Troops. Before that, I collected all of Sar-Issu along the way (I had to buy the crown in the artifact shop). And then, without any extra reinforcements, I easily defeated the dwarves' armies. I used the Weakening Cold spell a lot, or something like that... And at the same time, I tested the cool skill of cold attack (Lord of Cold in Chaos + Attack):)
I played as a Warrior)

By the way, a question... Who made a deal with the demon and threw the souls of the dwarves into hell? What does it give?

Surprisingly, there were no problems with the scenario. No one attacked, I could run around peacefully and level up Agbhet. I played as a Warrior.

This explains the simplicity of the walkthrough; it will be slightly different for a "hero."

By the way, a question: Who made a deal with a demon and threw the souls of gnomes into hell? What does it give?

It gives you Cave Lords.

This explains the ease of completing the game; it will be a little different on the "Hero" difficulty level.

They give you Cave Lords.

Well, I only recently started playing on Warrior difficulty; before that, I completed all the campaigns on Recruit difficulty. I should try it on Hero difficulty just for fun.

Ah, I should have thrown them into the abyss. I like Cave Lords.
