This is the final episode of the campaign. Everything is very simple: to win, Mjaonel must defeat his enemy - the Lord of Lightning - and capture the castle with its Source of Power - the Thunder Citadel.
Это последний эпизод кампании. Все предельно просто: чтобы победить, Мъяонель должен разгромить своего врага -- Повелителя Молний -- и захватить замок с его Источником Силы -- Грозовую Цитадель.
Author: nhat tan king (vietnamese), 28-10-2024 15:51 Why don't you use phoenix? - Thunder Citadel (Грозовая Цитадель) Actually, I play the feeling that this map is all about practicing magic and the way to win is to use a high-speed weapon like Phoenix to cast spells before the enemy. Finding a way to win is the goal of this map.
Author: 32167, 27-10-2024 22:49 good, but needs some improvement - Thunder Citadel (Грозовая Цитадель) The map left mixed impressions. In my opinion, the map needs some improvement and then the map will be simply excellent.
All combat magic and main great artifacts are available from day one...
In terms of numbers, the AI armies are incredible. But the AI has no defensive artifacts and its heroes turn into punching bags. All battles except two can be won on the first day... To win all these battles, 3-7 archangels (or black dragons) are enough. This makes the game a bit boring and drawn out. If you gave different defensive artifacts (or even better, their combinations) to the AI heroes, the game would become very interesting.
In any case, the game is addictive. I played for a couple of evenings with pleasure. Thanks!

At some point it seemed to me too that the map was intended for training magical skills.
I didn't use phoenixes for several reasons. I had several speed artifacts and I almost always started the battle first.
Black dragons are resistant to chain lightning, which was often used by AI heroes against Phoenixes. This made it possible to use Armageddon two or three times per battle. Gaskhaal dealt with less powerful AI heroes in this way.
Archangels were used to save mana in protracted battles (vs 1-2k Azures). There had to be some units who could be constantly attacked by the Azures. Resurrect the Phoenix twice will cost 32 mana. Archangel clone will cost 20 mana. His clone resurrects someone and we get the same two creatures for Azures. The mana saving is very significant (some fights required more than 2k mana points).
I liked the fight with the Immortal (Power of the Dragon Father) the most. This fight can also be completed with ten archangels :)

If you use the right way, the phoenix will help you, but one thing you forgot when playing is that the general with the jedities avatar is the general who trains the intelligence skill. If you put that general into a dungeon, it will have over 7500 spell points. The lake is very easy to use and has all 4 great elemental skills

Oh, yeah, you are right! With two superheroes everything could be done twice as fast!

Yes, I played this map a long time ago. I don't remember the details now. I wanted to replay some interesting map - I'll try this one.
