Posts from Tower tactics.

And Nila probably lives in a flask, yeah ;) Therefore, a third of the post is pointless. Furthermore, what's with the middle of the second month, omg? It should be ending in the middle of the first month. Therefore, the rest is also pointless :D

In short: the success of playing as the Tower faction heavily depends on having enough resources and time to build dwellings. Things get easier with mages, but while you're still building the Cloud Temple... the enemy won't wait! Gremlins and golems are slow, and gargoyles and golems cannot be resurrected...

I once got lucky – I immediately bought Orrin (a specialist in ranged attacks), started developing him as my main hero, and over time, I replaced the gremlins with archers from the Castle, gargoyles with fanatics, and of course, I kept the mages and titans. And the knights too; the damage from the archers was quite impressive...
But in general, in my opinion, playing as Fortress is difficult, but if you're lucky with resources, it's a lot of fun.

5) Djinns. In a word – garbage. 40 hit points for a melee unit of level 5 and low defense – it’s a mockery. My Gorgons are quietly laughing in the corner. They fly and cast spells, which partially saves the situation.
“-”, definitely. Their place is at level 4, but definitely not at level 5.

You really put the Djinns down. But have you tried using a heavily upgraded Warrior, but without magic, and placing several Djinns, and then casting, for example, on upgraded Nagas? The spells may be random, but they are not useless, and they are of all levels. For example, if you get Prayer + Haste + Counter Strike + Shield + Frenzy (at least 3 of these, which happens quite often), and this will be, if not on the first, then on the second turn (in terms of speed) – and you will get a tank with a speed of 16 (!), with armor of 4, with the first unreturned attack, which can take down almost any monster and respond to almost all counterattacks – no mage can create such a miracle. And what’s the point of that health if the Djinns need so little – other monsters will spend the health.:smile14:

dnaop-wr, you are right! That's why I like Wizards: even with just one, you can significantly help your troops in battle or sabotage the enemy! The same goes for Master Djinns: even when there are few of them, they can be very useful!

More often than not, having 3 slots with 1 Genie each is enough for support, and they might even survive:smile41:. The only downside is when antimagic triggers randomly.

In my opinion, it's better to start with Aine because of the gold (if you choose 200%), and you can always find a good hero in the tavern.

Yeah. Halon/Fiona, then Tiva, Inham, Kalt... ((and I once got a mage with incredibly high attack power from Lakus...))

The Tower is the weakest castle. n2k is right; check it in the map editor against other castles. The Tower's only hope is to hide its archers behind the terrain and units and shoot everyone while remaining safe, but as soon as a hero-warrior with tactics appears, this castle collapses like a soap bubble. Simply placing troops in the center of the map and using speed spells equals the Tower's demise. The Swamp also easily tears through the Tower in this way. Flies defeat archers, wyverns defeat giants, nagas, or titans, hydras attack either titans and nagas or mages and giants, basilisks attack titans hoping to turn them to stone, and if the hero has a gorgon proficiency, then gorgons kill titans, and usually gnolls don't make it on the first turn. It all starts with melee combat, and the Tower dies on the 2nd or 3rd turn. The Tower itself should use tactics. By the way, golems performed well against gorgons.

Znich, Tower heavily relies on resources and having “good” (“powerful”) magic, as well as developing elemental magic skills for the hero – more so than other races. Also, it’s beneficial for them to have a stack of faster units in their army (at least one dragon). I wrote about this in the topic “The Speed Factor.” Well, and the Tactics skill is extremely useful for any race.

I never had any economic difficulties with the Tower faction; it's simply not necessary (as with any other faction) to build everything. In the early stages, improved Gremlins and Gargoyles are enough to gather resources, then focus on Mages and Nagas. And a few Djinns. If you develop a hero with good magic skills properly, that's enough. I rarely reach Titans; in the last game, I had five unupgraded ones, and compared to thirty Nagas, they were useless.
Regarding magic, I like to clone, teleport, and haste. I don't know how, but with this reduced army and a powerful intellectual specialist in magic, I easily defeated a Necromancer with a bunch of Vampires, Skeletons, Liches, Knights... a mage who was superior in level and parameters. P.S. Djinns are dangerous during sieges; they can cast "Air Shield").

Here we go again, I thought this stereotype was already outdated. Don't compare playing against the computer to playing against another person

I was playing with a person. See my latest post in "Funny Situations." Don't get upset.

I played with a human. See my latest post in "Funny Situations." Don't get upset.

Lol. I'm not "upset" at all.

I never experienced economic difficulties with the Tower.

That's strange. I almost always have the opposite experience with all races :D

If you develop a hero with good magic skills properly, that's enough.

Developing exclusively a hero-mage is already a questionable idea.

I don't understand how, but with such a reduced army and a powerful intellectual specialist in magic, I easily defeated a Necromancer with a bunch of vampires, skeletons, liches, knights... who was superior in level and magic parameters.

I don't understand either. Especially the skeletons and vampires.

I played with a human.

And approximately how many games have you played with humans using the Tower? Or are you judging based on just one?

P.S. Djinns are dangerous during a siege; they can conjure "air defense."

Yes, an air shield is more useful than ever during a siege; instead of reducing damage from towers, it doubles it. Very useful for the attacker.

Ah, so you were playing the FIX. The Fix and random are completely different ends of the spectrum.

Well, that's why they're dangerous, especially for the attacker. It's bad manners to deliberately portray your opponent as an idiot. Rudeness is just one of the forms of aggression. %)
And I didn't say that a good mage is necessarily one who has all magical skills. Air, earth, and intelligence are enough. I don't like playing random games; it's too boring, and what's wrong with Multiplayer on custom maps, where all players know all the subtleties and nuances of the map, and can calculate what to spend their time and energy on? I've already explained why I didn't have any economic difficulties, and there's nothing new: looting, looting, and buying only what's absolutely necessary. Even if "what's absolutely necessary" isn't bought immediately, it doesn't matter; there's still enough to build an army capable of attacking. About the Necromancer... Well, his vampire skeletons were useless. And the Knights ran into Nagas, who were only slightly more numerous, and they died almost immediately. The Necromancer held on by resurrecting, but I had that too, as well as incomparably more other magical abilities. A stack of skeletons isn't scary either, especially when their leader has almost no other troops and mana left. If the numbers I provided confused you, I still don't understand how it's possible to win on that map, or on other maps that I like, in the first week. I would gladly master the art of online warfare, which you hold in such high regard, but perhaps in another life. In this one, I've already spent too much time on games, so I'll stick to ordinary, peaceful gatherings with friends, just for the pleasure of it, and not for Olympic ambitions. I'm sure many will agree with me. And if you don't understand what I'm talking about, stop playing anything immediately. It's dangerous.
