Author: Francisco Jeronimo (Portugal), 15-06-2024 11:03 After killing Lysimachus - Alexander the Great I have no idea what to do. There are a bunch of quest gates asking for the death of stand still heroes but I can't access them. Is there a written walkthrough or something? I'm looking for tips in Glenn's stream but it's boring cause I get a solution to every battle before even trying it.

Lysimachus - Alexander the Great
Found it
Author: Francisco Jeronimo (Portugal), 15-06-2024 10:47 Dwellings on Water - Alexander the Great After killing Mardonius there are 5 Archers Towers and a Portal of Glory that appear to be in a frozen lake or whatever, I've tried to Water Walk and go on a boat but even in the editor they seem inaccessible, yet there is a quest gate in front of the Portal so I assume they aren't there just for decoration. What am I missing?

A boat will go there, just try different spots where to summon the boat, one spot will be blocked, the other ok
Author: Valery (France), 08-11-2023 15:08 + - Alexander the Great How that. Death must be killed and then the map ends.
Author: Cristian Mures (Regatul Unit), 08-11-2023 09:41 Like Strange ending - Alexander the Great Beat them all,only death remains and he can survive without town.Alexander must die,I got that but I can have him back next week,so what is the point?Besides,the solution seems to be a long hit-and-run campaign with all generals until one of them can kill that last hero, which sounds like a boring attempt to me - is this the end?

It's a clean ending, with a max of 498 score. You build grail in conflux, get all barbarian towns with fly then kill The Death. Only in first version of the map Alexander had to die, I changed that.
Made it; probably some mid fights could be much easier if taverns would warned me earlier about demons farming (that thracian bug : ask the stone for army and select nothing when the town list appears , just enter).Another point : later , the army is so big ,the penalty for shackles doesn't change anything - Antikles defeated Cartagian army without problems,but at that time resources were enough.Very interesting map with fascinating story!

And you have the princesses to transform all creatures from your other towns to castle creatures, so use them, you need more archers. + V key to spot hidden artifacts, one is necessary to beat the afghan.
There are enough money after getting that art with chaining heroes,so I can get extra 800 immortals; besides,I can force some issues with demons,transforming all the silver pegași (several thousands) to get more sharpshooters.I could exchange the hidden art for prayer on immortals and +1 on speed due to heroes income ( 67k so far) - as I said,I was just testing the hero.It will take probably one more week...

yeah, the five elementalist in prison behind the blue border should be upgraded asap to level 25 by fighting the trees placed in front of each prison. That gives 80k income, if I remember well
I got all the heroes,including princesses,slaves and balloons , but only 70k before the fight - 100 levels away.Good news:in 3/2/5,1824 immortals have prayer and they strike first (+3 speed from fights),force field from round one;there is no chain lightning if the creature dies ,so that art is not needed here

Did Hephaistos and Antikles get estates? There is an altair near Arbela where you can forget skills and learn estates nearby.

It is in the read me, the second invasion, which will be continuous, starts on day 51. Good job for being on time with free army, it took me 7-8 full tests to make it possible.
First invasion can look different from one play to another; the lucky shot is to finish with invaders in maximum 2 days; then ,head to free army and start rolling

You are right, it can take up to several days to make them all coming, so needs several reloads with different positioning.
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 21-10-2023 12:40 Like Second army - Alexander the Great Is there any portal around King Porus?I couldn't reach second free army because timer,missing by one day
Valery (France) writes:

From what I remember, free armies are about one or two weeks recruits size, so if you get later you will have that army anyway. So is not penalizing, unless you are 1 day too late ;)
What kind of portal you look for? There is none near Porus.

If you are missing it by only one day, give free movement with trainer.
There is a green one in my way to Darius 3 which can be used only to get out,I guess

Armies :
AI heroes (not all but some) have more creatures each week passing. (mazaios, mardonius for example). One single hero, Alexander, will match your army.
Only a couple of neutrals (you will figure out) will have less/more army depending on your size.
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 14-10-2023 09:19 Like One surprising point - Alexander the Great Is it normal as ,at summoning stones,to buy other colours'army? (ex. I bought 16 arch devils from tracians,i think...with them ,very easy fight against hero with ghost behemoths)

No, because it lists only your towns. Are you using 3.95 Era? The others versions changed wog scripts.
I use only ERA 3.95 and ,indeed,it shows only my towns ;but ,if my hero goes several times without buying anything, he got the options to buy from inferno towns without being listed
Look at this,after 3 times with "no,thanks",this is what I got

oh, then you found a bug. Script is from original wog package and I never heard about bugs reported. Looks like you are hunting them with strange actions ;)
Author: Valery (France), 18-08-2023 18:16 Era 395 - Alexander the Great Era 3.9.5 here: (remove spaces created by mapsforheroes)
In case Google bonkers say file is suspect, or they do'nt let you see it, you can get the same file here, as rar archive (pass 123 to extract, then pass 321 to install).
HI Valery, only support a new ERA version or does it contain any additional content, balance etc etc?
Br,

There were many changes as well, for a perfectionist game play.
But works only on this Era version, as the Era now is 100% not compatible with old maps. This one will play them all.
