Most missions are only hard if you don't rush the enemy. Don't let him build up his forces.

I found C2M3 actually a lot harder, when I wasted the first week without taking the southernmost Sylvan town. When I just built a Tavern in the Inferno for a second hero, combined forces, forgot the Inferno and simply ploughed on, taking everything in reach and rushing things as fast as possible, supplying Agrael with Sylvan units from the beginning it was a fairly straightforward affair.
Under 1.3 there might be a little Wood problem, though.

I did that and I won.And I even had a week of festival followed by a week of plague.And I did attack gil in a town,and still won,even though he had the scroll of frenzy and I foolishly walked my unicorns in the moat.Though it was just on hard and not heroic,and it was in 1.0.I have no idea how it would be in 1.3 though.Kilop wrote:you mean the first time you fight the sylvan army.. ?
No, even in heroic, that one is not hard.
but try to capture the town first week, and winning the map anyway...
guess what happen when you are not able to buid your archers, etc ...it was in 1.0.
he more you wait, the more there is these stupid neutrals, If you get attacked in the same time, evn if you win, your army is gone ...
heck , at he end the computer didn t come to me, neutrals were too strong, 1500 pixies, are a force indeed.
I support(ed?) Nival... flame on !!!

I couldn't have not brought in those Imps. If I didn't, the Druids would have bolted my Familiars; if I didn't bring my Familiars I wouldn't have enough Gating power and the Druids would bolt my Hell Hounds. Among all the sacrifices the best is of course the Imps.DaemianLucifer wrote:
Actually thats quite a common strategy you know.There will be more fight where bringing less in the fight will acomplish you more.
Will the missions get much harder? I just finished the mission and it was - sorry if I sound arrogant - absurdly easy. I originally gave the map a bit too much credit and zipped down the southernmost Sylvan town in 4 days. Then I just stayed there and farmed and built up a force; the Druids kept summoning more and more creatures that just became an annoyance. I bet I could have improved by charging for one of the northern Sylvan towns the way csarmi would have done (and probably the most efficient path to victory), but I just stayed there building the town up.
The only time I felt threatened was when Gilraen came with with his huge force. He had Emerald Dragons when I only had Unicorns, but I quickly traded some Wood and built a Castle. The resulting firefight hurt very badly, but I won with some Master Hunters and Elder Druids to spare. Then I got ready for a defense-style map like Haven's last mission, but...nothing materialized. Nothing! Eventually I marched up and decimated the two towns with a whole lot more to spare...
Either Nival really made the AI dumb (they absolutely should do their best to wipe the player off the map) or else an odd bug happened. Or maybe the Heroic summonings created too much difficulty for the AI to expand. Or who knows? They still had some serious armies when I assaulted their towns, surely they should have been able to expand and build the way I did.

Sadly,no.There will be only one more map that can be considered a chalenge(C4M3),but the rest are just cake walks.Banedon wrote:Will the missions get much harder? I just finished the mission and it was - sorry if I sound arrogant - absurdly easy.
Really?Thats odd.As far as I know gil should respawn regulary.What version are you playing again?Banedon wrote: nothing materialized. Nothing!

Ah.Well,see that mission was considerably nerfed in v1.1 because many complained about it being too hard.Gil should respawn and attack you regulary,with all the neutrals he can pick on his way.If that was to happen,youd never survive without rushing out.It was rebalanced again,but it seems it wasnt restored to its original dificulty.But dont despare,some say that markals campaign became harder in 1.3.I dont know personally,though.Still,look forward to C4M3,that one should still be very chalenging.

C4M1 isn't that easy either, unless you spend serious time reloading to get easy monsters. And I hear that C5M2 is a challenge now with the changed wood costs for Sylvan.DaemianLucifer wrote:Sadly,no.There will be only one more map that can be considered a chalenge(C4M3),but the rest are just cake walks.Banedon wrote:Will the missions get much harder?
