Academy Walkthrough Complete

[Angelspit]

<img src="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/featur ... a5wall.jpg" align=right vspace=10 hspace=10>Psychobabble has completed his articles for the fourth (<a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/563">The Alliance</a>) and the fifth (<a href="/564">Zehir`s Hope</a>) maps of the Academy Campaign. In the first map, your worst enemy isn't the game's artificial intelligence, but the slowdowns during the enemy turns. Add a lackluster starting bonus and you have a map that will test your patience initially. Fortunately, the walkthrough includes a minimap to guide you through the very large map. Zehir`s Hope is the final map of the game, but its article remains mostly spoiler-free. More than two thirds of the walkthroughs are covered now. Bring on the expansion pack!

Great! Now I would love to see a walkthrough for the Sylvan campaign, that and guides for the rest of the warlock campaign......

[VortexD]

Nice work, can't wait to start with this campaign...

[Phate]

nice... had some trouble with this one

As I have mentioned on the boards- once you get Arcane Omniscience, you get the added benefit of your other heroes learning every spell that their magics skills allow, since zehir will need to have scholar in order to get AO. So if any of your heroes missed a spell in their respective campaigns, be certain to have them meet with Zehir. (well, not Shadya, but that's another story...)

"now I would love to see a walkthrough for the Sylvan campaign"



I did think someone was going to step up to the plate before I finished this walkthrough, but it fell through so I'm starting on Sylvan now. It's the toughest and longest of all the campaigns, though, so it'll take me a while to do properly.

RIP, you can try to restart and try it again (with cheats if you wish) or download savegames and start from someones else save. Neb's savegame: http://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/ ... highlight=

Hi! Even if the AI is not the strongest one, when I reached Tallongard she was already sitting in with 150+ champions and 35 Archangels. No matter what I did, I couldn't keep up with even 3 towns against her upgraded monks => champions... (I tried it twice...)

Now I've restarted Zehir's campaign, and try to reach arcane omnisience. If I could pupet master some of the creatures in the town, I'd had some chance... would I?

With Realag I don't have a chance, as haven army's morale is not the best one.

This map was pthetic (as the prev. one) no chalange at all.If you spend some time developing your heroes in their campaigns you can complete this map in 1,5 week (with logistics).Good thing the last map was fun but i think that this "academy" campaign is simply buged.Sylvan was much harder (esp. if you didn't take light magic with findan )

[maltz]

Somehow the neutral stacks on this mission (and mission 3) are ridiculously small on heroic. They were only 1/2 as big as the neutrals on mission 2!



What's going on? It is very boring to fight... 47 horned demons in mission 4, with 3 superheroes! What happened to those 470, even 1470 horned demons in Dungeon & Sylvan mission 4? ARGH...

Guys - I'm freaked out on this mission... How in hell is it possible to beat our lovelly Isabel? Even with A.O.



Pretty please with sugar on top, could someone explain how in name of Tieru she's able to build 47 Pals with 13 A-Angels within three weeks on normal?

[maltz]

> she's able to build 47 Pals with 13 A-Angels within three weeks on normal?



Er... she starts with them I guess? You can take over all 8 towns and build up a bigger force withint 1-2 months.

Thanks Maltz, my basic idea was only to use haven forces... after I had to destroy my favorit hero, Mr. Markal. : (

Couldn't agree more!! This mission was so dull I had difficulty finishing it; almost just stopped and loaded a new game I have waiting. If it hadn't been the next to last mission I think I would have.

My biggest gripe with this whole campaign is that it is a Haven campaign and not an Academy one at all. There is no opportunity to use the specializations of your heros, and you pretty much are fighting level one enemies all the way thru this one. Plot wise I spose it made sense, but as far as gameplay--very disappointing. (Walkthru was excellent,tho- as always.)

sorry for the stupid question:

i cannot get to Isabel!?!?!

when i pass the garrison where Raelag and Shadya stay behind and after the movie, i'm getting - green player defeated and you lost the game.

i cannot get what i'm doing wrong???

any suggestions???

[eduhome]

Could someone help?

[Silverfox05]

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I beat everyone in mission 4 Mage campaign but it is not over. What do I do now?

[Queen Hera]

Per Psychobabble "it's the ridiculously long enemy turn times."



Thanks for this info, I thought it was my computer playing up so rebooted. (also great walkthrough)
