Yes, it was my first time playing as the Mages, but thanks to my overall gaming experience, I was able to figure out what to do and how to level up.
I started well, capturing the initial mines. Luckily, they were guarded by infantry. A scout south of the Castle discovered a refugee camp, and again, luck was on my side – it was guarded by Death Knights. :smile34: With them, I felt more confident and started killing stronger mobs. In the second week, I hired a Rakshasa at the camp and bought more units at the Castle. And that's when the large-scale map clearing began.:smile13: By the third week, the entire territory was explored, reinforcements arrived for the Hero, and from the opposite side, I started clearing the map of stronger enemies. I fought only with infantry (except for guarding important artifacts, etc., in which case I also attacked archers) and for important objects. I collected three items from the Dragon set and a bow on my territory. Often, levels gave me magic, but I didn't know which one to choose, so I quickly built a Guild and checked what I had there. I didn't think for long and chose magic of light.:smile16: I didn't see much use in summoning, nor in dark magic against the undead, and chaos is easily stopped with a huge number of skills and an equally large number of artifacts, so I discarded it. Besides, the spells of light were better, and the others had almost nothing. :smile18: Besides the magic of light, I took attack and luck (I only made mini-artifacts for intuition and morale), and of course, spell power. I wanted to take logistics and leadership, but they weren't available. Maybe that's for the best)). Then I bought the fourth item from the Dragon set in the city. I went to the Underworld, captured the Dwarven Castle, bought two more items from the Dragon set, and found one, I think. In the end, I didn't find only the greaves, but I had seven items from the Dragon set. True, I replaced the sword with a bow so that the archers could shoot. Yes, I upgraded shooting into attack, had a ring for intuition, and made some mini-artifacts, plus high luck. The Titans and Gremlins were burning.:smile09: In the Underworld, I met Zubal, who was raiding my lands. Fortunately, I had scouted the area and saw all his movements, so it wasn't difficult to catch him. Unfortunately, he managed to escape. After that, I returned home, bought an army, spent money on a mentor, and teleported to the lands of the Necromancers.:smile24: Zubal was in the Castle, so the battle took place there. With such an initiative army, it wasn't difficult to win. The Mages even had 21 intuition, and the Rakshasa had 30 under pressure (I forgot to check the others:().
In general, intuition with morale, luck, and attack did their job. :smile47: Even the catapult successfully broke down the walls.
The Hero was wearing the Dragon set, +bow, boots of resistance, and a horseshoe. From magic, I had mass divine power, teleport, resurrection, dispel magic, and I upgraded speed from attack.
Yes, I definitely liked playing as the Mages. I will continue to improve my game with them) I'm tired of playing as Humans and Elves. :smile28:
P.S. There were three Crowns of Sight near my Castle, and three Horseshoes underground. It would be okay if they were scattered across the map, but no, they are right next to each other. Terrible randomness. By the way, I saw a helmet in the shop for the first time that balances stats if the enemy is stronger than you.
I've wanted to write a report with emoticons for a long time) because I read other people's reports and I want to do the same.
