The map is quite hard doing on champion. From the start you have random hero 1 level, 1 champion and 1 water elemental with no resources and random here. The first town is guarded by 3 dark champions, so you cannot get the town fast.
Practically i have tried all races, but win first harrison with archer hero and 3 crusaders, which usually beat your army. Only one race - chaos with magic arrow spell at start - was able to win harrison. So only choise to play champion is Chaos, otherwice you won't pass it at champion. Also, the spell right after harrison should be Fire Arrow, otherwice you cannot beat neutrals to get experience.
You should keep Champion and Water alemental alive to help in your endeavors. Carefully beat neutrals, groving Piromancy skill and Вivination to get max damage per Fire arrow.
At around 2 month I get 10 level hero, chaos skills 2-2-3-4 and Fire arrow damage=220. Buying 6 thiefs and put hero in a square that dark champion cannot touch him, I beet them one by one. One fire arrow - -1 dark champion.
Now at the end of second month (56 days) I have the following:
1) city with fort, orks
2) 1 champion, 1 water elemental, 117 thiefs
3) 11 level hero with only chaos skills 3-3-3-4, battle BASIC skills 16 attack, 22 defence, 8 speed, 43mana limit. + sword +3 atack/melee defence, armour for 5 defence, crown for 10 mana and 2 regen, warrior ring, bow +5 range attack and stun arrow.
4) Right near a town there is a smithery where i bought sword and armour, which sells mirth, luck, fireresist and immortality potions. At map baffs available is +3 to hero morale. I need to collect the power coin by coin, this is good.
However, if someone can take first town starting with no house and not rolling magic arrow and fire arrow, let me know how :)

Also, good moment that we are poor with resources. Currently I have in control thief dwell, watermeel and ore mine.Soon I'll flag windmill and woodcutter hut. This is all good in a matter "build power from scratch"

Dark Champions Tip - To Asgaroth And Beyond
Hello Vasa,
Thanks !
Here's another tip to beat the dark champions and win the first castle at champion difficulty :
- When you've entered Asagaroth, go straigh ahead (beat the small armies on your way), take the ore mine, then go north west to the second castle cause the very first thing you need is the archer hero in the prison near it, be there quick so the monsters guarding it won't grow too much, he's already level 4 if I remember ; after picking him you go back to the first castle and access the haven nearby ; take a boat and sail to the iland with the wood mine, take it, then to the biggest iland south of which you'll fight against a summoner and take the +20 bow.
Now, with the archer and his bow and with the water elemental, you should be able to blocate the dark knigths and do sufficient damage so they won't be able to regenerate, it's hard but it's a good and quick way to get the first castle.

extra hero - To Asgaroth And Beyond
I owned that extra hero, but She is quite useless for battle with dark champions - she helped me to win some battles and not more. Also the thing, that first harrsion is not beatable without damage spell.
After Owning towns the things become much easier, now I have 35 level hero, hipnotyze skroll (from mage tower bank) and big army, defeated Orange and going to defeating Green. https://c2n.me/47Evr e2 ( 35 lvl hero, battle [5-0-0-2], Espionage [4-5-5-4], order [4-4-4-0], death [2-1-0-3], full chaos, powerful artifacts (- max luck, +7 own morale, winged sandals, guardian Robe, adamantine armour, a lot of +30% shields, armours, sniper crossbow), army 26 Black dragons, 10 Hydras, 120 ifreets, 600 medusas, 56 ghosts (+ a lot of army available in Cities). 12th month. I used archer for nobility and keeping 4 Gold bags.In other prison found another chaos hero. After I raise Main hero a bit more with experience ents, I will update second hero.
Also about ship, I couldn't managed to beat the path to ship guardians before capturing town - too many pikemens with 30 health points, not enough mana and spell power to destroy them. Possibly Order hero with magic fist able to bit harrison but 3 dark champions? Barbarian hero could be good against dark champions, but 1 level Barb cannot pass harrison.
Author: Alexander (Novosibirsk), 22-03-2020 14:02 A bug in scripts prevents completing this map - To Asgaroth And Beyond There is a bug with entering teal town. The script in the quest tower says that the king should be killed. But really the king will be imprisoned. Need correct the script.

Mea Culpa - To Asgaroth And Beyond
Hello,
Yes indeed, sorry for that but, since I'm no geek at all, I couldn't put the good script on the last castle ; this unfortunately leads to make final victory impossible ; on the other side, the last castle is no challenge at all because the last big battle is with King Lucius Drake and in the end the real problem with that is that you cannot have your score at the end...
Anyway, if a good soul can fix it I will be thankfull :)
