So, what about the rating—did you get it?
And what's that golden bow doing there—does it hit hard?

I got it, but I will only post it after I see the daily saves from Dmitriy A S. Also, the Walkthrough descriptions from Radika (if there are questions, then the saves too). And Тоха's description. No questions for the others!

I have an agreement with Dmitriy A S; he said he would post them directly on the forum. I'm counting on him, as well as the rest.
(At least for the main battles)

Regarding the bow: Well, it allows archers to shoot without obstacles :) It costs a ton of money, though; I had to sell vampires and liches for cash, and exchange all resources for money just to get this luxurious THING :D

Respectfully, VDV_forever

Soon I will share the tactics for defeating them;)
without any losses:
I'm wondering if I'll have time to write a complete description in 4 days, or not?
Maybe it's not needed by anyone?
(I just had a completely different main tactic than all the other players):)
Sincerely, VDV_forever
A very brief overview would be great to read. After all, it was a prize-winning strategy. Especially since you say you had an original tactic. If you have the time, of course. I'm particularly interested in the strategies for reaching 36/39 days. But the current leader has already provided a very good description – it's easy to understand. It would also be great to try and analyze his battles.

By the way, my main Celt, as soon as he reached the sea, rushed towards two Fortress castles of the Dragons, and that's exactly where I took down the Berserker and the Wandering Eagles. But I built the Merchants much later, almost at the very end of the game.

And here's the difference of 3 weeks:D :smile02:. And I didn't need Gargoyles, although, if I had seen them, I definitely wouldn't have refused, their free recruitment is a nice bonus:D

It's clear about Radika, but why are you so strict with Tokha? Did he not provide anything with the final save?

Regarding the bow: It allows archers to shoot without obstacles, you know. It's quite expensive, though; I had to sell vampires and liches for money, and also exchange all resources for money to get this luxurious ITEM:D
Liches aren't necessary :) They also shoot :) And how is the archer support? Does it slow down everyone and give berserk to everyone it covers?

It heavily depends on the army. I had a couple of Azure Dragons that secured the first turn, and several times "Fear" triggered on the enemy. Then, I had Cursed Armor available – slowing down the enemy. Gargoyles (level 1) removed the retaliation, and then fully upgraded vampires finished everything – and they are almost immune to Fire Shield... :)
AmberSoler, could you describe the battle in a little more detail or even upload a save file before the battle? I really want to learn and try it myself!
By the way, a similar question for Sage – I was just surprised by the battle of 10 Titans against the Black Dragon. Could you upload a save file or at least tell us about the hero's stats and mana before the battle???
I hope my request won't be too much trouble for anyone? ;)

You can read a very brief account. After all, it was a prize-winning entry. Especially since you mentioned there was an original tactic. If you have the time, of course. I'm particularly interested in the leaders' strategies from days 36/39. But the leader has already provided a very good description – it's easy to understand. It would be great to try and analyze his battles as well.

Maybe you should try mine first! :)
Just as a surprise from VDV_forever
It turned out to be a puzzle for myself :)

So, we have an army of Celta

34 Cyclops Kings, 17 Death Knights, 54 Orc Warlords, 21 Medusa Queens, 5 Ancient Bears, 3 Gold Dragons, 2 Red Dragons

Skills: 31; 6; 10; 8

Against the SURPRISE from VDV_forever

After the battle: 34 Cyclops Kings, 2 Red Dragons! ;) :smile13:

Airborne troops, what about morale/luck? And what spells are available? And artifacts (like the golden bow, etc.) – this is important, IMHO! In general, it would be very interesting to repeat this battle, but I'm afraid I won't be able to... :( But I will definitely try!

Sage described the battle in great detail, including the mana. I've already checked it on a calculator - everything is correct :p Besides, he had high intelligence. But if he provides a save, we can take a look :)

I had to replay for 4 days!
So, if we arrive at this island with Vampires and Liches, we don't reach the castle by exactly 1 step! And that means we lose ONE DAY! It takes 4 days to build level 4 magic, so I had to leave the Liches and Vampires on the first (initial) island, and I joined them there. Later, I had to sell them at Golden Bow.:D

Cyclops are the best!:smile13:

It turned out to be a riddle for myself :)
Okay, let's save before the battle or just describe the moves.
Your first move - slow down everyone and fire all cannons at the guys?
You guessed it :) And what's next?

Sage described the battle in great detail, including information about mana. I've already checked it on a calculator – everything is correct :p. Moreover, he had a high intelligence stat. But if he provides a save file, I can take a look at it.
I also need the hero's stats and artifacts. Plus, morale/luck. Overall, it's still quite difficult for me to replicate this battle. That's why I asked for a save file.
And in general, Iron Axe, please don't react so strongly. Not everyone is a pro. And if something is enough for you (e.g., a description), it's not enough for me. Is that okay?;)
Sage, thank you for the save file and the battle tactics! We'll learn from it...

THE FUNNIEST THING ON THIS BATTLEFIELD (THE CURSED LAND!) IS THAT NO MORALE AFFECTS! AND ONLY FIRST-LEVEL MAGIC WORKS!;)

By the way, here's another advantage SOD had over TE – the slow effect was applied at level 1. In my case, it was at level 2, so I couldn't use it in this battle.

Well, I haven't played for three years myself, and Sage says he hasn't played the third game for two years.
