Christian has as many as 29 defense points; well, I basically thought it would be around that number.

Well, the main thing here is to try to block all the elves right away: they shoot twice, and in melee, they only have 1 attack and a penalty. Speed, shield - and you're done!

But there wasn't much land – I played around with fire a couple of times, then I had to disable the archers so they wouldn't interfere.
Now I've translated a pretty good S-map, but... 10 pages of text, and besides, a Chinese person wrote it in English, so with their own expressions, probably - I was exhausted. I once played it in English, but only after reading about the events - otherwise, it's impossible, there are many hidden problems, one step to the right, one step to the left - they shoot without warning.

Did you use the "Fireball" spell a couple of times?)))
As for 29 defense and "Exparmor" against angels and unicorns, plus a shield with -20% damage reduction and a tent, griffins block the first round. It would be even better to split them up, but even so, their ears get killed in one go. Archers gather in denser groups, and then it's easy to take them down with unicorns and angels.
I would also equip the remaining artifacts to Haart, just in case, to protect against "Implosion" or "Earthquake".

He didn't cast Berserk, but cast 2 Blind spells. There's no Earth magic, and with a 15% shield, it's not worth it; a tent is enough. I didn't even touch the hat; I used it for the map. Until I level up his tactics, I'm focusing on speed. I assumed he's a fighter, not a mage, so no spells higher than level 2. Overall, it turned out to be a classic build, perfect for practicing different tactical approaches against archers.

To be honest, I only attacked this AI castle because I was curious about what army it had inside (because at the very least, a legion of skeletons and a "pack" (up to 500) of Vampire Lords already raise suspicions; basically, I attacked thinking I'd crack it for fun just to see if it was even possible?!). In principle, Mephala until... (the people will probably ask for the hero window again)



Oh yeah, by the way, I lost three gold dragons to Death Knights, I miscalculated... and they made it through (there was double damage then, so I thought they were done for, but only 3 died, it was a huuuuge joy!!!=)



Of course, I decided to continue the game because cracking such a castle was easy, and in other cases there could be even greater losses.
P.S. Slow and Shield rule! Big thanks to everyone's morale and the snipers' luck))))

Once, the AI completely crushed me on this map. Now I've modified the map and decided to get my revenge. The enemy's skills are 44 / 47 / 41 / 99 + an angelic alliance. The actual losses were not 5113 (there were only 5111 initially), but 26 liches, and the rest were clones.

...on this map...

Which "this" map? What is its name?
This request is for everyone: provide examples - name the maps! Excluding random ones, of course.
dnaop-wr, great! Can you provide more details: what spells did you use? Only Lich clones? Or maybe also a Berserk - expert fire magic is still quite effective?! Blindness? The defending hero seems decent; maybe he didn't know advanced magic? Although, with such a crowd of liches, and if you immediately block the gate, the attacker doesn't need to put in much effort...

The map is called "Revolution" or "1917"; I have no idea where that name came from, but the final battle is the capture of the Winter Palace.

I see that no one is adding anything new to the discussion, even the person who started the thread. I just finished playing a scenario – Malvegil, or The Rising of Arnor – and the ending was pretty good; the losses were mainly due to the enemy's morale dropping. It immediately reminded me of a post by some “ASA” at /topic/at/473353/ about how useless berserkers and other fire units are – well, here’s a classic answer for him: even with high hero skills, his army is four times weaker than the enemy’s. :smile51:

I see that no one is adding anything to the discussion, not even the person who started the thread.

As for me, I don't have any truly epic items yet. Everything is calm. :)

Your battle is won with the help of a power field, without any losses at all.
Honestly, I don't see the point in such battles. When a hero is so powerful, all the magic becomes irrelevant, and the battle is won no matter what, as any newbie could win. It looks impressive on the screen to see such a large number of archangels, but they can't do anything.

P.S. Post #4000!!!

Honestly, I don't see the point in such battles. When a hero is like that, with all that magic, the battle is won no matter what, and any newbie can win. It looks impressive in the picture with that many archangels, but they can't do anything.

I don't post screenshots to show off, but as an example of when a beautiful result is achieved. And to get others a little motivated. You didn't post links to streams to show off either. You're almost right about the power field; if I had the tactical skill, I would do that, but even the slow archangels have a speed of 9, which, with their morale, will allow them to kill someone on the first turn. And you also didn't take into account the link to another post – it's about the fact that the archangels can't do anything.
Regarding Post #4000!!! – I can't figure out where it is – tell me the address.

If you're interested, I can share my battle with you:
/topic/at/523400/
It was a Tournaments online match.

dnaop-wr, Dirty_Player has just reached 4000 posts, and that's why he's happy.
However, xSEKTORx is right about one thing:
regarding the Berserker, if they are attacking in a large group, I agree that Fire magic can be taught, if your castle goes first (Phoenixes, Humans, Inferno, maybe even Elves)
This is precisely related to the issue of speed.
Perhaps I'm repeating myself, but lately, I always teach the main hero Fire magic (after Earth and Water), and not least with Berserk in mind, although Blindness, Bloodlust, and Fire Shield on an attacking unit, and other spells, can be very useful.
