Author: Valdemar (Kyiv, Ukraine), 13-05-2017 12:51 Like Guest - Abelia As for me very and very complicated map, I've restarted 3 times. The plan is moving ASAP:
1) to get 1-st orange castle on 7-th day!
2) move to titan's land ASAP. All other targets and heroes and not important. You may kill someone or/and get few castles to stop growing of powers of other players. But you can't get full control (no TP of DD on the map)
3) You MUST collect all titan's lands and block in the portal brown hero (just wait near portal and kill all heroes from them), if possible - kill red heroes. This is only way to win. You can't wait and collect your forces anywhere, you can’t fight with all enemies in the same time! Each week brown hero can collect 50-100 titans. And you can't! :) (you don't have money to buy all forces)
4) as soon as you have blocked brown hero, choose your next victim. A good trick is to get all castles from one enemy (dark blue for example) and "gift" all / part of them to another (orange). In 7 days this enemy will die, in other case you will not catch all dark blue heroes (Gunnar is too fast and knows water walking!), that's impossible on that map, anyhow dark blue hero can back a castle, don't let him to do it.
5) try to find in tavern killed enemy with schooling and/or water walking spell and resurrection. Without that spell's this map impossible. At the beginning I've made such hero with schooling and learnt many spells.
6) make few heroes for battles, one hero can't control this map, make chains, save/loads and don't waste time! The last rule is most important!

a generous 5 from me

This is not the rating for Abelia but for a constant work on making heroes maps uniques. I myself studied and played ALL his maps. They are not my taste but neverless they are still uniques in design and challenge. I hope he makes a comeback one day.
