Posts from What tactics are effective against Dark Elves?

Hello, here's a question: how do you generally deal with the Town Portal (TP) exploit? Which hero should you choose, which skills should you upgrade, and which troops should you recruit? We usually play on large maps and for over a month.

Well, on a large map, there should definitely be a battle by the second month. So, we have at least 4 weeks. That's not much. We also need to understand who the opponent is. If it's Leto with Dungeon, we focus on Dungeon and Seals. If it's another hero, we'll have to fight against Chaos and need to develop light magic.

If Lethos is aligned with darkness, focus on developing dark magic and seals. If it's another hero, you'll have to fight against chaos, so you need to develop light magic.

What can he do to paladins with his darkness? It's unlikely he'll get high-level spells in the guild, and even if he does, scrolls with berserk, domination, vampirism, or blindness, let alone a tome of darkness, aren't very common on the map. He can only poison them... Against Tier 3 enemies, darkness, defense, and leadership with inspiration usually help me, and then it depends on how it goes. Blindness, berserk, and domination on support units like archers, harpies, and lizardmen. Paladins have a 70% chance to go before lizardmen, and you need to eliminate them. Battle griffins provide flanking support, and archangels resurrect the first losses of paladins from mines and other units. Inquisitors first use divine power and then righteous strike on archers. If there's teleport, send zealots into the thick of the battle; if not, they'll run there themselves... and that's it, the result will depend on the players' skill.
