Hi,

so how the hell do i beat a faction, that has full military strength at the beginning and those stupid dark javelineers Who just kill everything with their javelin sniper skills? i had 4 armies at that time just so you know. İ;ve attacked them like crazy but all i managed to do to ONE of their uncomplete armies was to train the troops within... İ play as Order. And İ managed to conquer the water peoples great temple right at the beginning so i had actually 2 capitals. but still death destroys us all one by one. İ;ve found this game to be kind of...unbeatable. İ got to play as death in a campaign... Those ******* can reanimate dead units. Oh and is there a way to place ranged units on the walls? because all the Wall does is giving me time to do my last prayer...

Thanks for reading, helping, etc.

It's been a long long long time since I played Lords of Magic. But I remember beating death in 2 ways.

#1) Playing as good as I can possibly play for a very long time.

#2) Defeat death right in the beginning.

Again, it's been a long time, but my memory tells me that if you start the game, the main villain of death is very lightly protected and you can send everything you have at him and beat him.

I remember I did it, but I can't remember any specifics at all. Sorry.

Hopefully someone will be able to help you out further.

It's actually pathetically easy if you want. Play as Life, those archers are just about unbeatable, have a squad of 6 archers, 3 warriors. They destroy anything.

The basic thing to note about combat is that angles are key. Get your ranged troops such that they will start firing, and therefore hitting, at the best range, while keeping theirs away. Corners are important. Ambush range troops with your melee folks by hiding round the corner, and descending on them when they get round it.

And don't forget about the Parry button. ;)

Winning as Life is definitely simple, but I think there might be a different problem the OP is having.

It sounds like his armies are all level 1. Are you gaining levels with your heroes (warrior, thief, mage), and then putting them in their barracks, archer building, and mage tower to transfer experience? When you do this, you can build units that start off at higher levels. When you upgrade the buildings your heroes can transfer more experience.

As long as you are out gaining levels with your main heroes and then transferring the experience so that you can build units that start out at higher levels, this game is simple as any faction.

I win Death when Dark lord attack my Capital.
Just reload save game and hire a lot of mercenaries crossbowmen. So when siege of my Capital just started - Balcoth (Death lord) fly over walls and get to centre of my Fortress, while other his army try to break the door.
All my crossbomen shoot into the flyinf bat (Death lord) and kill him. Them finish off his army.

I did the opposite earlier today. There were far too many Dark Javelins, so I used my mercenaries to snipe them so my main army could mop up afterwards.
