Posts from Necromancer – “Ruler of Erathia” [Campaign 3, Mission 5]

I've had instances where a dynamic battle was needed, and the auto-battle wasn't effective. It happened with the Druids in "Haven" and somewhere else, I think. But with Godric, there were no issues. However, "Necromancer" is a buggy campaign for me. The first time I played, it automatically completed the third mission for me – it skipped straight to the fourth mission after the second :D But I ended up completing it myself anyway because I didn't fully understand the plot and which ring it was referring to. And Markel turned out to be under-leveled because I skipped a mission, which I couldn't allow.

True, Godric was level 10... :o

In the first campaign, I leveled up Godric to level 20. In the second mission of this campaign, he was demoted to level 10, but all the skills and stats he had gained remained. He leveled up to 20 again. Therefore, Godric's stats and skills are equivalent to those of a level 30 hero. I hope he won't be a weak link in the 6th campaign. Marcellus still has a ways to go before he reaches that level.

When I was playing through the game, I didn't expect the heroes to appear in later campaigns, so I didn't pay much attention to leveling up Godrick. That's why I only started focusing on him in "The Mage" (after the first campaign, he was only level 3, and after "The Necromancer," he was level 10). But despite all the effort and nerves I put into him, Fedya turned out to be the weak link...

In the 1st campaign, I leveled up Godrick to level 20. In the 2nd mission of this campaign, he was demoted to level 10, but all the skills and stats he had gained remained. He leveled up to 20 again. Therefore, Godrick's stats and skills are equivalent to those of a level 30 hero. I hope he won't be a weak link in the 6th campaign. Marcellus still has a ways to go before he reaches that level.

Yes, Marcellus levels up without any problems...:confused:
And something is definitely wrong with Godrick's levels...

Decided to go through the topics, maybe it will help someone. Fortunately, there are no hopeless situations, just as there are no universal solutions. I didn't level up the hero "in that direction," so I didn't have any Phoenixes (you can imagine I didn't want to replay the entire campaign). BUT!!!!!!!!!! Go to the artifact merchants, buy an expensive chainmail (I don't remember the name), which removes immunity to mind control spells, and that's it, the Titans and Rakshasa (I recruited them) will fight for you!!!!!!!!!! Victory (after five attempts, unfortunately).

As far as I remember, it's not chainmail, but the "Sandro's Cloak" that removes immunity to mind control effects from creatures. And you can also play without summons; Dungeon is very strong in the latest patches.

When I played the game for the first time, I didn't upgrade the summoning skill either. Subjugation, Berserk, and Raise Dead were enough. However, Godric wasn't as formidable as he was in my second and third playthroughs (in 1.5) – he was only level 20.

Yes, it might be a “cloak”; to be honest, I’ve already forgotten, but the main thing is that it’s a truly useful artifact (in this case).

Or maybe, instead of getting an artifact, I should recruit more troops? I didn't have enough money in this mission to hire all the troops from both castles. Subordinate Rakshasas can defeat all Titans with a single blow.

Maybe, but I had just enough money, so I gave the Sphinx 20,000 (or maybe it was a different amount, I don't remember exactly). But even with improved stats and a gathered army, I couldn't win, either on autopilot or manually. I figured it out by chance, bought the artifact, and immediately won. Moreover, I started the assault late, so a monstrous army was sitting in the castle (about 18 Titans, but I might be wrong, I'll check the save and write down the troop composition later), and when I attacked without the artifact, those bastards kept resurrecting, and resurrecting...

Godric also actively resurrected titans. He had 90 mana.

During my first playthrough, I also sailed to the sphinx. The money I received from him ran out immediately. A lot of money was spent on buying knight units in the castle and dwellings and upgrading them after transforming them into undead. I had about 20 upgraded dragons and everything else accordingly.

Added 2 minutes later
And in version 1.5, I had over 80 death messengers. However, they only started working after the gates were destroyed.

I probably spent a whole week struggling with this mission. Finally, I won. I didn't use any summoning magic; Markel doesn't have any, and I didn't poison anyone. I also didn't go to the Sphinx. I built up my cities. Isabel just sat in the city, and I hired another hero who helped Markel with "supplying" the army. This helper ran around, improving the army in the lower fortress (it's much cheaper that way). Well, and the day before the lunar eclipse or whatever it was, I managed to send Markel on wings to Godric, and I won!

The first time I played, I also completed it without summoning. The second and third times, I used both summoning and darkness. During the second playthrough, I probably wouldn't have been able to take the castle without summoning because Godric destroyed my catapult. In all playthroughs, Godric had skills and abilities like a level 30 hero.

In my opinion, the 5th and 3rd missions are easiest to complete in version 1.5.

What quests are there in this mission? I received: 1. Obtain the amulet 2. Capture Godric's Daughter 3. Deliver Godric's Daughter to Mythgard 4. Capture Hikam I managed to capture the Daughter and deliver her (defeated the angels). After that, I flew across the mountains and the next day, I took out Godric. I did it like this: I flew to the well and received +1 to morale, then to the fountain for +2 to luck, and then flew towards the city, but I didn't have enough moves and stopped in front of the city. On the next turn, Godric came out of the city and attacked me. I defeated him.

You should attack Godrick in the town. Just wait for a full turn and attack him in the castle. I also hope you have a licensed copy and, preferably, the latest patch.
