The King is incapacitated and the Queen is banished by the evil Prime Minister. The kingdom is in need of heroes to restore peace once again. Play the role of Prince Jasca to reclaim his rightful throne and rescue his parents or follow one of the other three rulers in the land to save the kingdom.
- 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.
