Posts from How to complete the map “Sinful Crusade”.

Hello everyone!
Can you tell me the secret to completing the map "Sinful Crusade"? The task is as follows: hordes of various monsters are preparing an army in a dungeon to destroy everyone. You appear in the middle of the map on a small island with one castle. You conquer everything, gather an army, and descend underground. And there, all the portals are arranged in such a way that you can no longer return to the castle. And you can't buy a hero in the castle to bring reinforcements. And essentially, there isn't enough of an army to even reach the middle of the map... I'm playing Heroes 3, which was released on tablets in January.

Let me tell you this: it's easy, at least for me. You need to put in maximum effort when it comes to building your army. And if this map is too difficult for you, try playing on other maps, and come up with a game strategy for yourself. The main thing is to practice more often, and it will become easy for you.

There, many monsters always want to join our army (skeletons, bone dragons); you can reach the computer using only these monsters.
And somewhere there is a teleport, back to the city.
The map is simple; the main thing is to figure out which neutrals are friendly and which are hostile.

Tactics: (difficulty 200%)

In the first week, build a Guard Tower, an Archer Tower, a Forge, a Barracks, and a Griffin Tower.

In the second week, build a Castle, a Market, a Griffin Fortress (+3 Griffin growth), a Watch Tower, and an Archer Tower.

In the third week, build a Griffin Fortress (Royal Griffins), a Barracks, and upgrade the Mage Guild to level 2.

After that, gather troops. For example, by the beginning of the second month, I had 98 archers, 148 halberdiers, 68 royal griffins, and 38 paladins.

The first episode of the dungeon can be completed in the first month.
There is also a way back from there. There are two paths: a short one and a long one.
First, go down the long path, hire skeletons, and kill the rest.

That's it. There is no way out of the dungeon after that.
The goal is to preserve the maximum number of troops.
Troop placement:
Archers in the corner, regular skeletons to the right of them.
Below the archers, place halberdiers, skeleton warriors, and paladins.
Also, below, place griffins one cell away.
Bone dragons should be nearby.

Skills: Leadership, Attack are essential.
Priority of other skills:
1. Tactics
2. Defense
3. Luck
4. Scouting
5. Logistics

Never take Scouting, Fire Magic – even Wisdom is better than those.

Don't fight unnecessarily; if you can bypass enemies, do so.
Save often.
Be sure to enter the prisons and free the heroes.
At some point, you will find skeletons; they will tell you to go after the gray ones,
and angels; they will tell you to go after the gems, so go after the gems.
There will be Cerberuses first, then a group of angels (7-9 archangels and 15-20 angels). Defeat them and go through the tunnel to the Holy Land.

When you get there, capture all the castles, rebuild them, gather an army, and crush Fiona with the majority of your forces.

Don't worry – you will have enough money. While you are exploring the dungeon, you will definitely accumulate 120k gold.
