:) Öööhm :)...im just fine with Heros Cross

I tried myself a few few times to get the Phoenix the Order of the Victor but never got it as a choice..to it seems really hard and to be honest...it's a bit frustrating sacrificing all those "brave" Soldiers for nothing several times...

By the Way...how do i get the Star of the Mage and the Battlemages Badge?
I tried to get it at my evil campaign a few times...but only get the normal/agressiv Medals like Medal for Courage/Zeal.

O...i see it free to take...i will grab it :)

Nice to have horses now :)

Did you miss that?

Ooo..lost in time^^, sorry i have to stopp here

Pegasi could be nice and together with the Gryphonbuilding we could get the Winged Guard...Horsearchers could be nice to... i think it mainly depends at our Commander...what we plan to make with him.

And..i changed the Raise Ghould Spell with the Summon Gargoylespell..mainly because i am aiming to be good Boy at this Map ;)...next time we can play Evil again :)

My precious! I.e. I will take

Ah thanks...did i read it right
I have to do 2 ranged kills and do more ranged damage then Ranged Attack*3?

Yes, this is minimum requirement.

Ok thanks...

Seems where at the street to vitctory no...but if he killed all the other Lords...he might control the rest of the Map..oO :)

Anyway..have fun, i will take a look again after i returned home.

You stopped in 3 turns before his demesne. Puny minotaurs guard it.

253. Scout - chambers. M-explore. Warrior - fair wind, to frontline.
254. mage - undead with ghoul, level (concentration). Scout - valley of signs.
255. warrior attacks copper hills. Mage found exp.
256. warrior got spider egg from spoils. mage found gems. scout found demesne with 6 minotaurs.
257. Warrior killed slayer. scout besieged.

Well, this is it.

I had no Idea how close victory was...really nice...even after the hard start we turned the Tide:)

What about SCG III :)

Large Map again...and this time with a rule being Neutral/Evil and only using neutral/evil Units?

I will start a new one...just has to finish some work ..can only take hours ;)

I want to note that upgrading sphere of wind over school of wizardry was a really bad choice. Wizard doesn't have "armor penetration" for spells, so Stone Rain was useless without Sorcerers in the army, compared to fireball, which is good end game spell due to thaumaturgy. We already had ghoul, so T2 summon with immunity to poison also was useless.

As for #3, I think about commander start

Ok, nearly finished...i start the new game in 15-20min....hmm..commander...hmm ok...i have a idea :)

Yes..you where right...thats the reason i wrote a note about the Gargoyles and the Elemental School..it was mainly for RP-Reasons because we aimed to be good guys at this Map..not vile Necromancers ;)

But..you said...it could be usefull with Sorcerers in the army? How that...or did you mean the enemy army?

Sorcerers can cast vulnerability right of the bat - this spell decreases ALL defense by 4, AND it stacks with itself. 2 sorcerers can make from 20 defense ghost 4 defense squishy. So, with stone rain sorcerers precast vulnerabilities, then you deal your whole damage without negation.
I already started game 3, will post it now.

Well done guys.
