6th month, red destroyed everyone it reached, visited the keymaster's tent, and entered my forest. Also, where can I get 1000 azure gems?

In the upper right corner, underground, you will find this beauty:



- in exchange for the artifact that you have from the start. The difficulty of the map is reduced to a minimum. :(

Castiel, is the orange one overwhelming you? As soon as I finish off the pink one, the red one comes after me... I can't do anything.

I didn't finish the game, but I don't see any difficulties. You don't need to fight anyone; just head straight for the dungeon, distracting opponents with other heroes, grab the dragons, and teleport home. Only then do you fend off attacks and gradually eliminate everyone.
And where does the red hero appear? I don't believe he defeats the Legion of Azure in the first two months.

Yes, this is NOT a good idea when winning the map requires only taking a powerful unit in the right place or freeing a super-strong hero from prison, with whom victory is practically already in your pocket, because even a lazy newbie will win after that. :(

Tell me, how can a hero escape on the First Blood 2.4 map? By water – there are Archdevils, and in the dungeon, you need the green key. I assume it's also impossible to escape using a Castle.

MX0704, please provide more details: when and where did you get stuck? You can also attach a save file for clarity. I haven't tried playing "First Blood" myself: it's for very skilled players – I'm afraid my skill level isn't that high, although it's noticeably improving with experience.

Please upload this map for version 2.4; I was looking for it yesterday but couldn't find it. (probably because the forum's search engine is terrible (:)

Tell me, how can a hero escape on the First Blood 2.4 map? By water, there are Archdevils, and in the dungeon, you need the green key. I don't think it's possible to escape through the Castle either.

You need to escape through 4000 Ice Elementals at the top of the Knight's spawn point. You can also go through 666 Archdevils, but it will be difficult to defeat them without magic.

P.S.: I think a separate thread should be created for this map.

Yes, I already figured out how to exit. But it didn't help me much. The purple faction multiplies its units as if it had 8 castles with a Grail. When I exited, I had 100+ Archangels and 300+ Monks. And he came with his second hero, with an army 5 times larger than mine in terms of cost. Is it even possible to complete it at 200%? Please suggest a strategy.

He has a very significant increase in growth on a certain day. You just need to play faster so that archangels appear by the 2nd week and you can defeat the elementals somewhere in the beginning of the second month. The problems start later, especially during the battle with 1000*7 Cyclops Kings. :smile15:

And what are the objectives for Dessa – to break through the naval helmet and end up in the dungeon? And how can you kill 4k elementals at the beginning of the second month? You need a leveled-up hero and 100+ archangels for that. And at the same time, you need to develop the Stronghold to break through the phoenixes or at least defend yourself somehow. For me, this map seems impossible.

What are Dess's objectives – to break through the sea helmet and end up in prison? And how can you kill 4k elementals at the beginning of the second month?

For me, the map seems impossible :)

You need to take Utopia on Barbarian Respect on the 2nd week and use that money to buy archangels and upgrade them. The main thing is that Utopia gave good stat-boosting artifacts. At the beginning of the 2nd month, you should have about 50 archangels and a large number of monks, the rest is cannon fodder + hero stats, preferably around 20-30, mass magic like haste, and I think they will fall easily.

And can the "summon boat" ability be moved to the top only if you merge with some creature at the bottom and then buy it at the top?

Also, a question about the "gift 2001" map - is it also a speed map? Because I was killed by Handsome (Necromancer). And where can I find the helmet to complete the dragon set?

MX0704, there's a discussion about completing "Podarok-2001" on HeroesPortal:
Walkthrough of the map Podarok_2001

After reading it, I decided to try it myself - and I succeeded!
Regarding the speed: no, it's not necessary; however, enemy armies grow, and heroes level up quickly: Irina only has one town, while the enemies have several (except for Blue - Babich, and Pink (Diablo) - but he has the God of Fire); by the way, after capturing the Tower, we turn mages into wizards, so the army grows faster! Everyone plays as they see fit. I completed it in 449 days. And Sir Grenmar - in 77 days! But that was on some subsequent playthrough, aiming for the best result. I was satisfied with just one playthrough. For me, it's more interesting to complete 10 different maps once each than to play the same map 10 times, trying to achieve the top spot in the leaderboard.
