Pomazok1329 Defeated the God of Water and gained access to the green tent and the crown of the high mage. Traded the artifact for the admiral's hat with the seer Rex. Now it's comfortable to swim. The seer Zarei, for "killing" the God of Water, rewarded me with a water book... I hope that cloning/reviving large numbers of future deceased with archangels will work out. :)
I'm continuing to play, hoping not to encounter "invisible paths."
I went to Klansi for the green border garrison. For his death, the seer Hester gave me an earth book. Now I'm building border towns and reviving. I really hope that they won't take away these two books for some "surprise."

I'm playing as a Necromancer, and after I have 100,000 skeletons, the number often changes to -100,000 in the slot. I tried dividing them, leaving some in the city, or giving them to another hero, but the problem still persists. For example, if I divide 100,000 into 30,000, 30,000, and 40,000, and then enter a battle or skip a day, I might find -30,000, -7,000, and -15,000, etc. How do others solve this problem when the game tries to "cheat"?

There's no way to fix it. The game has a maximum number, and if you exceed it, it goes into a negative value.
In principle, you can find the maximum number of creatures in a stack through trial and error, but even the most difficult map can be completed without this method.
It makes the game lose its meaning and difficulty.

What map are you playing now?

Pomazok1329 Ragnar 3: The Lost Empire, the one you recommended. Of course, I took some time with it; it's been 18 months now, but it wasn't intentional. The journeys were long, and I tried to fight in every battle to level up the hero. As you suggested, I leveled up a Necromancer, that is, an undead hero with the Necromancy skill. For example, I fought against a "Legion" (4000) of harpies, and the Necromancer raised all 4000 skeletons. It's a shame I can't find the artifact "Boots of the Dead"; I would assemble a composite artifact that revives liches... But even with the skeletons, it's fine; it's just that the computer keeps stealing them; 100k are already gone.

Yes, this is a major bug. Just like the frequent freezes after the 20th month. Although now, as far as I know, this is fixed either by VCMI or HD+.

By the way, in Inferno, you can use "Teleport" to move to another Inferno through a portal – luckily, we visited the brown tent of the keymaster.
So, it seems to be progressing without any problems so far, right?

Pomazok1329 The game is going smoothly so far, but it's getting tiring. I need to switch between different quests, and I'm already too lazy to rebuild the newly conquered cities. After defeating the centaurs near the first Teleporter, red dragons appear – 7 stacks of 9999 units each. I need a Berserker; I guess I'll have to gather more strength first.

Actually, you can't go to the right after the guardian; dragons with 9999 hit points will appear in any cell.
You need to go down and choose a path (cell). Out of 3 cells, only one doesn't have an event (dragon attack). I think this is a flaw in the author's design, as you have to try different cells to find the right one.

In principle, the main thing is to collect all the pieces of the Dragon Power (8 pieces) and exchange them. You also need the Angel Alliance; collect all the pieces. To proceed, you need

P.S. If you're interested in more dynamic maps where time is against you, and you can't just sit in a castle and accumulate creatures, let me know. Or if you need maps that don't involve battles with thousands of units, but are more intricate, where you only have 1-2 units at the beginning, you can't build anything, and you progress through the story like in an RPG game.
I can find a map of any type.

Here's the link to the "Golovolomka" map. The map is small (S size) and quite short, but very challenging. Requires WoG or ERA. It cannot be WoG-ified!

Description from the author: Efrit

This is a puzzle map, the point of which is a good knowledge of various "tricks" of the game, as well as the ability to fight well.
Many may find it impossible to complete, but that's not the case - it can be confidently completed without any luck. Even each battle is completed "with flying colors" - the main thing is to figure out how to do it. If you can't complete it, don't be upset. Read FizMiG, you can learn a lot from it. And if you are lucky enough to complete this map, you can confidently call yourself a true connoisseur of your favorite game.

Thank you for the post, I played it half a year ago, it's really an interesting map. I stopped playing it because it constantly crashes during the hero's turn. This happened to many players, but Efrit doesn't respond.

The trick is that you need to manage to avoid encountering him, as the author intended. And no error will occur.

P.S. I have updated the map and removed this error that caused the game to crash.

Barely made it through... 9999 rusty dragons in seven or eight stacks, and the Evil Emperor with over 7000 archdevils. Of course, the battle was against a superior force, but... the Evil Emperor has "the power of the father of dragons," which means you can't berserk, blind, or clone him, and then massively revive him with archangels. So, there's no way to come out of the battle unscathed.
I defeated the rusty dragons (who were hiding behind centaurs) using a force field and came out of the battle unscathed

. I didn't bother to attack the dragons in the other squares, as I didn't see the point.

And here's the battle between Vidomina and the Evil Emperor

For professionals, these battles are just a warm-up, but it took me a while to win...

Pomazok1329 and igrik, thank you both for suggesting these maps. I'd like something similar to Warlords or The Darkness Attack.

This battle should be avoided; the author specifically made it so there are 9999 in 7 stacks so that the player would find an alternative path. :smile28:
And in general, the author's idea was to find all the parts of the Dragon Power and the Angel Alliance, and we are given hints to help us find each part of the assembled artifacts.

How did you get past the border guard, who requires the Angel Alliance? And where did you find the angel wings?

Of course, the battle is like a battle against superior enemy forces, but... the Evil Emperor has the "power of the father of dragons," which means you can't berserk, blind, or clone him, and then massively revive your army with archangels. That is, you can't win the battle without losses.

This is the final battle, so you can use everything.
If magic doesn't affect the enemy, you can use it on yourself.
For example, use 1 angel in a stack to retaliate against the devils, and then attack them with the main force.
And yes, Angels deal +50% additional damage to Devils, and vice versa.

Here is my final save file.

I used the "Sacrifice" spell in battle – I sacrificed champions and other units, and then resurrected a full stack of Angels.
It's a very underrated spell.

If I remember correctly, I found the Angel Wings in Dragon Utopia, but I don't remember exactly which one. One of them had already been cleaned. I didn't bother with the Alliance; I probably just flew over using the wings. I didn't pay much attention to these moments because, for the first third of the game, my main goal was to keep the heroes I rescued from the dungeons alive (some of them unlock towers with a question mark). For the next two-thirds, I made sure the computer didn't steal my skeletons, and in the last third, I made sure the computer didn't "take" my liches and that I didn't have too much money lying around. I bought resources as you suggested, and that's how I got through the game to the end. In the final battle, the liches "pacified" the enemy, although I could have simply flown over to a tower and killed one skeleton in the northeast. I read about this task after winning the final battle, but for some reason, they still didn't give me the victory. I tried Sacrifice; it's a decent spell, I agree. I also sacrificed some cavalry units, but I didn't have time to resurrect them with Archangels; I couldn't find the corpses... or did someone else die in the place where the cavalry units were standing? I must have missed that. The Power Field spell disappears after one turn. If I equip an artifact that increases the duration of spells, will anything change? I'll answer myself. I equipped the Composite Artifact, the Ring of the Mage, which adds 50 rounds to the spell duration... but the Power Field still disappeared after 1 round.

I would prefer something like "Warlords" or "The Darkness Attack."

I looked at the maps, and now I understand. Is this about map balance?
So, can you play as any faction, or at least 4 out of 8, as indicated in the properties (out of 8 factions, we can play as any of the 4)?
