Bug ? - The Lone Knight
Is this just me or it was a bug ?
When I attacked the lasts Tower town, the enemies had Armor of the Damned and I had phoenixes but the IA still started the battle even if I was faster. No Artillery, No First Aid, No Ballistics, I checked !
I had to reload an older savegame to not give my own Armor of the Damned and ficht with it...
I never saw this behavior.
Anyone ?

Hi! Unless I don't misunderstand you, it is intended. During siege defender takes 1st turn always if the castle has any towers.
Turn order goes: archer towers, then catapult, then fastest unit (with defender having priority due to attacker having previous turn with catapult). Artefact spells are applied on archer towers and catapult turn for defender and attacker respectively.

I guess you're right wasilix.
Maybe the Ai having relic class combination artifact is just rare to me ?!
I just tested that, indeed, fort doesn't start but citadel and castle does !!
Even after 25 years, I learn new things !

Author: kgrid, 10-08-2023 16:23 Like The Lone Knight (playing Conflux) - The Lone Knight Fun map overall. It becomes easier if you play quick since the AI won't have time to invade and you can just focus on attacking.
I played Conflux and chose Dessa as main instead of Adela, which I think is a good idea.
The hardest fight by far was Thorgrim on 246 since my army was so much smaller and he is practically immune to all spells. I eventually figured out the correct strategy though!
Finished it on 317 playing normally and without using any skellies or liches.
Author: wasilix, 07-06-2023 14:43 - - The Lone Knight Notwithstanding the 5-days or 15-days finish idea in general, I think with necro it should be quite possible to achieve the finish without hiring much of anything, as multiple players finishing this map seem to claim that necromancy carries the game for you. At least on surface it sounds plausible in regards to the army requirements when you play necro (I only played this map with Conflux some years ago).
The time claim is obviously a completely different thing altogether, and so far we haven't seen any sort of a confirmation. I'm sure that if we saw a recording of even a couple of game days, it could help dismiss all the disbelief around this topic.
I used to play Minesweeper back when I was in school, and this claim so far sounds like finishing 99-mine difficulty in 1 second. I'm sure many people who also did that saw multiple "records" like this.
In heroes, movement points are quite limited, and you can't clear the whole map in 1 turn with just dismiss-hire unless you have new towns within 1 turn away one from another. 5 days finish is so massively limited in that regard, that it sounds beyond unbelievable.
Author: corn and flakes (Somewhere), 29-04-2023 10:14 5 days? - The Lone Knight How on earth can you beat this map in 5 days or 15 days? How are you even able to gather enough army to defeat the final boss? I am very curious

Other bugs work, too - The Lone Knight
The admiral's hat bug makes it possible to finish in 4 days with an extreme amount of luck, and in 5 days with a bit of luck. Without using the Admiral's hat bug at all, however, I did finish in 15 days by dismissing and rehiring the same hero during a day. And 15 days is, perhaps, worth noting.

Thanks for coming through with the promise eventually :)
The day 4 finish clearly done with ridiculous amounts of admiral hat abuse, and that spoils appreciation a bit for me, but if as you say you managed to clear the map in 15 days without ever utilizing this bug, it definitely sounds very impressive. Even an admiral hat finish in 4 days is cool, but not that impressive because you basically needed to plot out 4 days worth of movement to enable yourself an infinite tavern+admiral hut combo, which is not that difficult to do.
When I was mentioning a video I was hoping to see the actual game footage, not a few short videos explaining the walkthrough (although they did the work). If you could demonstrate a 15-day finish without an admiral hat, I think that would be very interesting. I'd personally prefer the playthrough itself, but similar bullet-point list would suffice as well, however keep in mind that for a 15-day finish the list will have to be quite a bit longer as it needs to explain your movement usage and how it enables you to finish the map this fast.
Thanks!

I didn't mean to downplay the day 4 finish even with the admiral hat. While it isn't difficult to accomplish, it's still something to come up with. It's still a very good result, albeit not as impressive because there is not much difficulty to it beyond coming up with the idea.

You forgot something - The Lone Knight
You forgot that the mapmaker did put some unskipable ponds on the way (wich forces you to skip a day each time).
In addition to that in the video you shared you have TP on day 4 while mage guilds are limited to lvl 2 or 3 in this area. I don't remember that there is any way to get it that early in the game.

Author: Gustav (Sverige), 11-04-2023 09:50 Necromancers - The Lone Knight It seems fair to say that the necromancer way is somewhat of a glitch win, similar to saving and trying the battle again if you lose or armageddon tactic close to a town. I love this game and the difficulty of this level is terrific. I dont use the cloak. Feels a bit broken. I will use the demon summon tactic though. Think all in all its 40-50 games and the computer won more but many years later i still love it and can be surprised be AI. This map seems infinite in its ways to play. No one time is the same as the last
Author: Jozef (Slovakia), 13-03-2023 15:31 Like 61 turns with dungeon - The Lone Knight Since i have finished the game as necropolis in 60 turns, i wanted to try something more challenging, so I tried to beat the game as purple (dungeon), the worst faction out of those 4 imo. I also wanted to speedrun the map, but the only problem was Terek, because I didn't have enough troops to beat him, so I had to wait weeks to reinforce my army. I decided to play the game as Clavius as main. The necromancy skill seemed to be broken after all and I had no troubles beating everyone on the map on the first try. I definitely recommend this strategy with other factions, maybe with conflux you would be able to break even faster.

Author: Pop Maximus (United States), 31-01-2023 07:03 Just finished in 5 days - The Lone Knight How did I do it? I used a never-before-discussed exploit that gave me extra movement.

Curious about how you did it in 5 days, i dont see a way you can honestly do it without editing the map.
Did you use the admiral's hat bug for that?
What about the youtube video?

Yeah, can't wait for a video demo to appear with a "dramatic effect". I'm not fast to dismiss even wildest claims as fake, and I prefer to give benefit of a doubt to the claimer, but this one didn't age well. Even though he promised a video demo, nothing came about for almost 6 months now.
My hunch is that the dude at minimum edited game files to give greatly increased movement points to his heroes, and maybe gave himself an army to kick. I don't think it's possible to even reach water in 5 days to abuse the admiral hat, although I don't remember the map all that well. I'm pretty sure however that the hat isn't even available in the beginning to do that even if you reach water so fast.
I posted 3 You Tube Videos showing how I completed the map in 4 days. I used the Admiral's hat bug for unlimited movement, and the bug that hiring a hero on the same day after you dismiss them regenerates movement and spell points.

Author: Jon (Southern California), 06-10-2022 21:18 I found a way to beat this map in 28 days - The Lone Knight Using a necromancer in this map generates so many skeletons that you can upgrade them to skeleton warriors, then sell them for gold and get so much gold you can disband your main heroes and hire more until your main heroes appear, with full movement points and spell points, so so can be used again. Has anyone heard of this method used before?

Author: Jozef (Slovakia), 01-05-2021 14:26 Like The lone knight - my new favourite map - The Lone Knight Just finished in 78 days (but could have been faster, i guess 60 or 65 days is possible), I played Prince Jasca and had a lot of fun. I recommend playing necropolis, because it is the easiest, for example my skeletons 2shot Kilgor's behemoths, fighting Thorgrim was easy, I even won the last fight on autocombat. The only "hard" fight was against the tower town in the right lower corner, other fights were like walk in the park. My advice is to set up a good chain and to leave your area at around 1/3/1, freed Erdamon, take 4th castle at 1/3/3(or 4 idk). You can also save time by using elemental lords (they have pathfinding) to take out some castles and then town portal there with your main (this applies to fighting red and green), another tip is to capture with your main only the first castles in the underground, then wait until their main comes close to the town (so your main can kill him and tp away), then use elemental lords to take out their regions. Really great map, thanks to the author.

- General rule: This map contains a fair amount of hidden trails, most of which are accessible by mere walking. Look carefully.
The same goes for elusive Seer's Huts that are easy to miss if you don't look carefully.
In particular watch closely for Seer's Huts that will grant you critical artifacts like:
Angelic Alliance, Bow of Elven Cherrywood, Pendant of Courage, and Orb of Vulnerability.
- Move fast. There's no telling when or where the AI's will come to attack you. But once they do, expect attack from all sides. The faster you move the more armies you can muster to fend off attackers.
- Read sign posts to find hidden Scholars that will teach you the Intelligence skill and Teleport spell.
- Pay close attention to your tavern. A lot of of the heroes carry a useful artifact and a few start with useful skill. Keep in mind not to spend all your money just to hire the heroes to get the artifacts and go bankrupt!
Spoilers from Charles Cone, the playtester:
1. Take gold from chests instead of experience.
2. Pay attention to signs, events, and tavern rumors! Don't be afraid
to take notes.
3. Pick up creatures from external dwellings, especially sharpshooters,
enchanters, and level seven creatures.
4. Pay attention to your backpack. Give items your main hero is not
presently using to secondary heroes to make room.
5. Be alert for artifacts that can be assembled into combos. ALL
combination artifacts can be found or assembled.
6. Move as quickly as you can with your main hero. Don't loiter, wait
for more troops, etc.
7. Capture the tan ports and island towns as quickly as possible.
8. Free "your" elemental lord as soon as you can. You will eventually
need to free all four.
9. Use a first level secondary hero for the side sharpshooter/enchanter
quest (good choices are logistics and navigation specialists)
10. Sell off excess troops that "join for greater glory" at the
freelancer guild.
11. Use legion artifacts to enhance creature growth.
