One *fast*, resilient creature stack (ideally griffins or ghosts with stone skin and/or one archmage boosting it… or maybe, mayhap you can find ancient vampires in a certain crypt) rushes to the head of the turtle (just in front of the small circle motif in the circle holding the turtle) and defends, and the rest of your army are ranged units. The turtle on the island isn’t hard to beat – level 7 or 8 is feasible, depending upon your army.Then beeline down that quest line so you can get the chest of rage. You can sacrifice poisonous creatures to activate the second spirit, then beat the mages to activate the first spirit without too many losses. The sooner you activate the chest, the sooner you can invoke the spirits during fights and thus have them gain experience. It is possible to have the chest activated after having fought almost nobody on the map, thus maximising rage spirit experience gains.Kill the robbers at level 3 or 4 at the latest so you can get the quest to see the King’s brother.Royal quests are very important and should be done ASAP. In particular : Once all low-hanging fruits have been picked, you can start fighting (presumably at the village against the thorns).ĭon’t forget to get the free boat in Arlania so you can also loot the shores and islands along the starting zones. Be an early gatherer, not an early hunterĪs the game open, simply visit all areas and fetch all bonuses you can, even if that involves maneuvering around hostile creatures and escaping with the prize. So make the fights as one-sided as possible, only hit weaker armies, go heavy on ranged attacks and ways to slow and neutralize enemy stacks, fight smart, reinforce the defences of melee fighters, have robust resurrections abilities, etc. Minimizing losses is critical. You’ll get plenty of gold, but most critters (especially the good ones) are only available in limited quantities so you can’t replace them forever. Plus, replacing costs do accrue. On Normal difficulty, as a warrior or paladin, you can angle so that almost every fight before the Freedom Isles will be against very weak or weak opposition. This requires fluttering between zones, sub-zones and quests constantly, but is the most efficient way to minimize losses. Note that the horsemen’s tent in Greenwort usually doesn’t carry much of interest (perhaps because people used to employ a trick to access it very early on). Keep one enemy stack alive in Greenwort so you can build up some rage during a later event.ĭon’t forget the tournaments at the temple next to the royal castle, against enemy heroes. In the spirit of always taking on those weaker than you, wait to be 4 levels higher than the enemy. Plus swamp snakes and poisonous spiders you may not need but will be necessary to feed a rage spirit… and you might find some ancient vampires in a certain crypt.Īlso note where you garrison your extra creatures, heh. Order magic rank 1 (Magic) - *if* you have the resurrection spell, use resurrectable level 1-2 units, *and* can spare the mana to cast it.ĭo note the location of notable artefacts, spells and creatures at merchants.

They’re in your My Documents\My Games folder. You can save immediately upon starting, decline taking the test, and recon the main castle and freely accessible sale sites for key artefacts, spells and creatures. If it looks good enough, load your save, take the test and play normally. Strategic and optimisation advice Recon your opening
