Posts from Ranger – “Defense” [Campaign 5, Mission 3]

He doesn't attack constantly. In the first battle, save as many dragons as possible—give them to a secondary hero. Fill the remaining slots with 1-2 dancers (if Ossir appears—he appeared for me twice—or archers; they can take down 20 skeletons—anything helps, but you have to keep an eye on it—sometimes you'll even have to run)—Fedya stays in the Castle and smashes the necros when they approach. Meanwhile, the secondary hero immediately sails to capture the second Sylvanis. All in all, I had about 2 dragons left after that. The battle was tough, but not hopeless. Develop the second city; fend off the necros coming from the bottom right corner of the map with the secondary hero, and from the top with Fedya. Build up Giljia as quickly as possible—if resurrection doesn't drop anywhere, it's better to restart. Later, if you're lucky, you can defeat the necros and free the heroes, leveling them up at least a minimum amount. The necros will be bringing experience to Fedya themselves anyway. And if you're not very lucky—you don't even have to defeat the turquoise one—fundamentally little changes.

Thanks, I'll try, although I rarely have any dragons left!

Thanks, I'll try that, although I almost never have dragons left!

With proper leveling and battle tactics, most dragons will survive until the end of the mission. First, take the initial castle with minimal losses. Fedya takes dragons and other units and goes to fight. It's better to defend with a secondary hero (at least on hero difficulty). After a few battles, he will also level up well. The main thing to remember is that it's not always beneficial to deploy the entire army in battle, that unicorns have a magic resistance aura, that you need to leave the castle at the right time to finish off the besiegers, and thereby minimize losses.

What a NIGHTMARE!!
Everyone has been freed and is near the castle. The checkbox to prepare the garrison cannot be checked. A hundred years have passed, and the purple creature is still running around!!
Please send it to my e-mail. Start of the next game.

Actually, you need to check the objectives. To make the checkbox appear, you need to leave a certain number of creatures in the city – this is mentioned in the objectives! As soon as the required number appears, the mission ends.

I started playing this mission and made some mistakes. I decided to first destroy the lair of the purple creatures so that they wouldn't come anymore. I almost reached the end of the road they use to come from, but then I realized there was no way forward. I had to go back. As a result, I lost a lot of time because I went on this expedition with my entire army. I should have immediately sent the young hero to capture cities and gather resources.

When I captured a city, the "Prepare Garrison" checkbox was quickly checked. When Faidaen went on an expedition, it was unchecked, and when she returned, it wasn't checked again. Now I'm wondering if I should continue. I hope it will be checked again when the army is replenished. But there are problems with this because of the lack of resources to rebuild the city.

Now I'm wondering if I should continue?

I didn't have to think for long. Two turquoise heroes arrived at the same time. I managed to defeat the first one, but I didn't have enough strength for the second.

I started over. This time, I left Ilfina in the capital, and sent Faidaen to conquer cities. I only took 6 dragons and Ilfina's starting squad on the expedition. I left everything else, including the clover I received as a bonus, with the inexperienced girl. She justified the trust placed in her.

Faidaen had a tough time. This time, only one turquoise hero arrived, but he was stronger than the two that came last time. I only defeated him after two reloads. This was the most difficult battle in this mission.

I had to wait for the second one. By that time, Faidaen already had a decent army. He defeated the third and fourth on their way to their castle. After capturing the Necropolis castle, he freed the prisoners. I immediately received a cutscene and a message about completing the task.

Immediately after capturing the first castle, I bought another hero and sent him to the sea to collect debris. Then he delivered reinforcements to Ilfina. On his way to the Necropolis castle, Faidaen called for reinforcements from the capital if necessary, using a spell.

I wanted to quickly buy high-level Necropolis heroes, but they turned out to be teetotalers. Only one hero of level 17 entered the tavern. He followed Faidaen and collected artifacts. Then he stayed in his native castle. Heroes of level 24 did not enter the tavern.

You can't keep many dragons in the capital. When I added 2 dragons to the 8 already there, the mission ended immediately. This was after freeing the prisoners. I had to reload because I wanted the former prisoners to visit all the upgrade places and collect all the spells from the three castles. Both are level 28, while the mission limit is 24.

In the first missions, Faidaen was never offered magic of light. When he was offered magic of chaos here, I decided that it's better to have chaos in hand than light in the sky. I recommend it to fans of special effects. A rain of three arrows charged with meteor shower looks no worse than Armageddon. But, when used correctly, it doesn't affect your own troops. And the shock of earth also looks pretty good. Faidaen received Chain Lightning, Magic Bolt, and Shock Wave in this mission. He only lacks Armageddon. But an elf doesn't really need it.

I completed the mission on "Hero" difficulty without any problems. Although the Necromancers kept attacking the "Sairis-Talu" capital like crazy! And destroying the Necromancer at the bottom was also not easy! But Faidaen is strong! They have nothing to do but win!!!:smile13:

Funny guys are writing...
Those who can't complete it simply don't read the instructions carefully; I'm sure of it.
Especially expressions like "the checkbox won't uncheck." If you do everything correctly, it will definitely uncheck.

Yesterday at 1:50, I completed this mission in 4 hours, and it wasn't difficult at all! I played as a Barbarian, and I even managed to accumulate 90,000 gold, and you won't believe it: I didn't upgrade Chaos or Light magic at all. I had Logistics and Luck in all slots. I captured a town, immediately crossed to the other side, captured a second town, teleported across the river (after defeating the first purple one), then went back by ship, and started exploring. When I defeated the first "commander," I put him in charge of defense (he had all his abilities filled!!! I don't think I've ever achieved that before; I usually spread myself too thin. That's basically it

No, if all the tasks are actually completed, but there are no checkboxes, then something is wrong. Especially since so many people are experiencing this. And I am too, by the way.

Which checkmark isn't disappearing? If it's "Prepare the garrison," then there should be 9 or 10 dragons. I can't promise a quick response because I'm on vacation. I was urgently called to work today.

When I freed 2 of them, I ran them through both cities I had captured (I captured them with Vigrael, and freed them with him as well), Phaedan repelled a ton of attacks from the portal on the right and captured the 1st garrison; since the "teleport" to the city worked only 1 !!! time, he had to stay and guard the capital. I f***ed up the dragons in battles, alas, countless times :( , but when the freed prisoners were studying magic, they took all troops from city M... and onto the ship; at the same time, all "mercenaries" got rid of their artifacts in favor of Phaed :) When I brought all the troops to Phaedan, I led him into the capital and lined up the army in a row — "city", and then poetry... :smile03: :smile03: :smile03:

I've already killed everyone I could in there, but as soon as I approach the dungeon with my weak heroes, there are suddenly 9999 dragons guarding it. I honestly have no idea what to do about this, and I even abandoned the walkthrough... but I still want to finish the game!

What version of the game and difficulty level are you playing? Which week are you in when there are so many dragons? I first captured the Elven Castles, then the Necropolis, then freed the prisoners, and only then did I focus on leveling up the hero and finding upgrades. I freed the first prisoner in the Dungeon. I don't remember when the hero reached the maximum level.

I played as Feday and left a purchased hero in the Castle, giving him all the archers and druids. He held the defense perfectly while Feday conquered the second Castle and started destroying the garrisons. Then, I freed the heroes, teleported to the capital, transferred the troops, and that was it.
As for the dragons guarding the Dungeon, there were 12 of them, and they scattered.
