How to start? - Robinson Crusoe! - Heroes 3 map

Guys, how do you started this map?
There are two towns you can reach in the first week.
The first, on Robinson's island, guarded by 4 guy, I cannot beat them with 1 crusader, no spells.
The other, can be found by the sailing hero, guarded by ~40 pirates, unbeatable too.
And that's it.

Heroes 3 - solutions Armageddon's Blade

I. CAMPAIGN: Armageddon's Blade
@@@----------{+++ ARMAGEDDON'S BLADE +++}----------@@@

SCENARIO 1: Catherine's Charge
DESCRIPTION: Catherine must defeat all of her enemies or they will flood Erathia
with their evil. If Queen Catherine dies then all hope is lost and the devils
of Eeofol will easily win. Catherine will be allowed to advance to 18th level
and carry over her experience, skills, and spells into her next scenario.
ALLIES: Blue
ENEMIES: Red
DIFFICULTY: Hard
STARTING BONUSES: A. 30 Pikemen
B. 20 Archers (Recommended)
C. 8 Griffins

STARTING HEROES: A. Sorsha - Level 4 Knight

C. Catherine - Level 12 Knight
Specialty: Swordsmen
Troops: 200 Pikemen
100 Archers
40 Swordsmen
20 Champions
+ Starting Bonus
Starting Location: Defiance

SPECIAL NOTE: If you restart the scenario, the heroes might not be exactly the
same the next time around. You can do this repeatedly if you want to try and
tweak the heroes to your liking. This holds true for any hero who is not
carrying over from a previous scenario. Also, the names of towns may vary when
you restart, but I have given them names so that you may reference them with
their information and location.

NEUTRAL TOWNS: A. Nothenden - Conflux Town
General Location: Northern edge
Brief Description: Very limited town, but better than nothing

B. Southerdale - Conflux Town
General Location: Southern edge
Brief Description: Very limited town, but better than nothing

C. Endelstadt - Castle Town
General Location: Upper middle.

D. Goldenton - Castle Town
General Location: Lower middle

ENEMY TOWNS: A. Darqtane - Inferno Town (Red)
General Location: Northeast corner

B. Jhantaqua - Inferno town (Red)
General Location: Middle eastern edge

C. Noximaar - Inferno town (Red)
General Location: Southeast corner

ADVICE: Basically, you start out controlling the west side of the screen, and
the computer controls the east side (and possibly the two Castle towns in the
middle). The 3 Inferno towns are protected by 2 Garrisons on the north and
south ends of the screen.

The best (and fastest) way to conquer this map is to get early control of the
two Castle towns and the Gold Mine in the middle. While it's nice to also have
control of the Conflux towns, they are far too limited in scope to be all that
useful in this scenario. More than anything, the Conflux towns are an
annoyance, as they will be pretty easy for the computer player to capture if
you're not careful.

Once you have control of the middle, the computer player will make constant
excursions out of the Garrisons in an attempt to capture the middle. By this
point, you should have a clear advantage. The two Castle towns ought to be able
to defend themselves with the help of a couple of heroes, so bring in one or
more burly heroes to start capturing the Inferno towns.

If you've beaten the regular game campaigns without breaking too much of a
sweat, this map will be a cakewalk for you. Before totally vanquishing Red,
leave him with a solitary castle and camp right out in front of it with a very
buff hero (not Catherine). Catherine herself will be busy running around
hitting all the buildings which give her experience and improve her primary
skills. Make sure you finish this map with Catherine at level 18.

SCENARIO 2: Shadows of the Forest
DESCRIPTION: Gelu must defeat all enemies in this area using guerilla tactics.
He is the only one with the skills to lead this raid, for without him all is
lost. Gelu will be allowed to advance to 12th level and carry over his skills,
experience, and spells to the next scenario.
ALLIES: Green
ENEMIES: Red
DIFFICULTY: Hard
STARTING BONUSES: A. 20 Marksmen
B. 15 Grand Elves
C. 10 Sharpshooters (Recommended)

STARTING HEROES: A. Gelu - Level 1 Ranger
Specialty: Sharpshooters
Troops: 20 Silver Pegasi
30 Wood Elves
+ Starting Bonus
Starting Location: Diasamere

STARTING TOWNS: A. Diasamere - Rampart Town (Green)
General Location: Upper middle eastern edge
Garrison Troops: 50 Swordsmen
Starting Buildings: Town Hall
Fort
Tavern
Mage Guild
-Level 2
Upg. Centaur Stables
Upg. Dwarf Cottage
Upg. Homestead
Upg. Enchanted Spring

NEUTRAL TOWNS: A. Whitespire - Conflux Town
General Location: Northern edge
Brief Description: One of the first towns you should consider
capturing.

B. Dova Saera - Rampart Town
General Location: Northwest corner (below the river)
Brief Description: If you capture Whitespire first, this
should probably be the next town you go
after. It suffers the same building
limitations as your starting town.

ENEMY TOWNS: A. Reavers Gate - Inferno Town (Red)
General Location: Northeast corner

B. Jakta - Inferno Town (Red)
General Location: Lower middle (SE of Dragonbane)

C. Dragonbane - Inferno Town (Red)
General Location: Upper middle (NW of Jakta)

D. Moribund - Inferno Town (Red)
General Location: Southwest corner

ADVICE: This scenario isn't too bad, either. There are two ways you can first
strike out. One approach, as sketched out earlier, is to break out west to
capture the Conflux town and then the other Rampart. Unfortunately with this
strategy, you leave the enemy unmolested for awhile. The other approach (the
one I used) is to try going after Red right away.

All the ranged units around Diasamere who join with Gelu will basically make him
an unstoppable juggernaut from the get-go. Don't worry too much about improving
everyone into a Sharpshooter; upgrade the Wood Elves normally to Grand Elves and
leave the Archers as they are as you will be picking up additional units from
Archers' Towers, but you should feel free to upgrade the Marksmen at the first
opportunity (building and upgrading your town takes priority). Also, pick up
the Golden Bow artifact at the first opportunity, I believe it's north of your
starting town.

There are 3 Garrisons which serve as bridge crossings over the river. They are
located as follows: 1. South of Diasamere; 2. Just north of Dragonbane; and 3.
On the western edge between Dova Saera and Moribund. Depending on whether or
not you captured Whitespire, you should first cross over through Garrison 1 or
2.

I would suggest first capturing Reavers Gate and then moving west from there
onto Jakta, Dragonbane, Moribund, and Dova Saera, in that order. This will
throw Red off balance, and will disrupt his stockpiling process. You can let
Red capture and keep the Conflux town at the very end while you send Gelu around
the board to maximize his skills and experience.

SCENARIO 3: Seeking Armageddon
DESCRIPTION: Xeron must gather the Sword of Hellfire, Breastplate of Brimstone,
and Shield of the Damned. If he dies, Eeofol's hopes die with him. He will be

transfer with him to the next scenario.

G. Breastplate of Brimstone
General Location: NW of Tieldis, protected by a Purple
Border Guard

H. A Whole Bunch of Crap
General Location: East of Sevenar, protected by a Light
Blue Border Guard

ADVICE: The map is bisected along the west to east diaganol by a mountain range.
You control the lower right half (with 3 Inferno towns) while the enemy Conflux
forces control the top left half with 4 towns. There are 3 valleys which
connect the two halves located in the following positons: 1. West of Havoc Peak
and south of Shantalla; 2. Northwest of Blackpool and east of Tieldis; and 3.
West of Mourningdale and southeast of Sevenar.

As you can see, there is a plethora of Keymaster's Tents and Border Guards. You
don't need to completely wipe out the Conflux army in order to win, but it sure
as heck makes it a lot easier to complete the scenario. I would start moving in
on Conflux territory roughly in the order that the enemy towns are listed.

I left Phaedral as the last standing enemy town while I ran Xeron around to hit
all the skill-improving buildings before acquiring the final necessary component
to create Armageddon's Blade, in my case, the Sword of Hellfire. Again, make
sure he leaves the scenario at the highest possible level.



@@@----------{+++ ARMAGEDDON'S BLADE +++}----------@@@

SCENARIO 4: Maker of Sorrows

G. Purple Keymaster's Tent
General Location: Southeast of Seer's Hut (Khazandar)

H. Seer's Hut (Khazandar's Apprentice)
General Location: Southwest path underground, protected
by a Purple Border Guard.

ADVICE: I had a _really_ hard time with this scenario. Like "The Fall of
Steadwick" scenario in the original game campaign, I tried too hard to try and
win through by sheer brute force; but the odds are stacked pretty highly against
you, as the computer starts off with two more towns. You only need to find
Khazandar and get him to make Armageddon's Blade in order to win this scenario.
Whether or not you have all the enemy towns captured or none at all is
irrelevant to the final outcome (well, not totally irrelevant).

Basically, I just built up Xeron's army to an incredibly obscene level and used
the rest of my heroes as a diversionary tactic. Xeron would win through to all
the Keymaster's Tents, capturing what towns he could but not really ensuring
that I kept control of them. Then I sent him down under to find Khazandar.

When underground, head northwest first. This will take you to Khazandar, who
will give you the Sphere of Permanence to take to his apprentice in another
Seer's Hut. It's just easier to use Xeron here, as he should have all the other
necessary artifacts you collected in the previous scenario. Be prepared to
fight off a big burly Conflux hero here on the level of General Morgan Kendal in
the aforementioned "The Fall of Steadwick" before being able to visit Khazandar.
Don't forget to tag the Purple Keymaster's Tent before heading back.

When you're back at the Subterranean Gate, choose the southwest path this time.
You'll hear a message about crackling flames, so ready yourself to do battle
with a lot of Phoenixes. If you took down the hero by Khazandar's Hut, these
fiery avians should not be too problematic. Wind your way through the tunnel,
pass by the Purple Border Guard, and complete your mission by presenting the
Sword of Hellfire, the Breastplate of Brimstone, the Shield of the Damned, and
the Sphere of Permanence to the inhabitants of the last hut.

From this point on, you will see Xeron as a foe only, so it may not be wise to
maximize his skills and level at this point if you are given the opportunity,
though it may not matter if he is automatically set to a certain status.

B. Red Monolith
General Locations: 1. Southwest of Keventry
2. SE island with a Black Market
3. East of Death's Gate

C. Shipyards
General Locations: By Chillwater and Reaver Cove

ADVICE: This is a pretty straightforward map; and although the enemy has a two
town starting advantage, I think that you have a very defensible position that
makes this scenario a little easier. Also, since this is the first time you've
seen Roland, you can keep restarting the scenario to try and get skills you like
(don't accept it if he has lame skills like Navigation or Scouting). One of the
first things you should do is tag the Gold Mine through the Green Monolith for
that extra 1000 a day.

After that, concentrate your efforts on capturing Bane Bridge and Death's Gate.
Then, after you've accomplished those, close out Doom's Crest and Chillwater,
then Reaver Cove, leaving Sorrow Glen to the computer. Since you start out with
a considerable number of units, you may want to strike out early to disrupt
Red's plans. Shaynda is your only starting town that can build a Shipyard, and
you should send out a stupid hero fairly early whose only purpose will be to
collect all the floating goodies.

When concentrating on capturing enemy towns, don't put all your eggs in one
basket, however; leave a very sizeable force at Keventry, as Red will be
incredibly annoying by sending large forces of troops to attack you through the
Red Monolith. Also, don't fret if Gelliston gets captured. It's okay so long
as you retain control of Highcastle and everything south of it on your side of
the map. One of the best times to go on the offensive is after Red has dashed a
sizeable army to pieces against Keventry's walls and chase him back through the
Monolith.

Once you have captured all of the towns except Sorrow Glen, take your cue to
send Roland all around the board to maximize his skills and level before
finishing the scenario.

divide and conquer here, though. I thought this map was basically a cakewalk,
and I marched through it pretty handily.

Although Red has one more town to begin with, you have a whole lot less
territory to defend. Red spreads himself pretty thin on this map. Zaridon is
the first town I captured, and I just left Erdamon there with a large army to
defend it. I then captured Moortanis and Ultana, in that order, leaving Red
Jagos while Gelu ran around the board, tagging buildings and getting obnoxiously
ripped (by the end of this map, Gelu's Chain Lightning did 1200 damage to the
first target).

The only thing to keep in mind is to always cover the valleys by your Conflux
towns with decently large armies. The second Red gains a foothold in your
pocket of the world, then you've already lost. Basic sound strategy will win
you through here. I didn't think this map merited the Expert label.

E. Xent'ara - Inferno Town (Red)
General Location: Middle eastern edge

ADVICE: Although I usually pick cool units over artifacts for the starting
bonus, artifacts do carry over to the next scenario, and Gelu plays a mostly
defensive role on this map (at least the way I played it).

Between the two of them, Roland and Catherine can combine to put some serious
hurt to the enemy. I wandered out with them very early on and captured
Tormentalis and Shadowden almost immediately. After capturing them, I combined
the armies of Catherine and Roland and kept Roland out (since he was higher
level) to defend the newly captured Inferno towns. I sent Catherine back to
gather reinforcements and accumulate her own army.

I kept Gelu hanging around Shanimar, as Red will try to capture it often with
forces out of Xent'a and Xent'ara. After I had buckled down and kept solid
control of Tormentalis and Shadowden, I sent Catherine (with her newly huge
army) up to capture Xent'a while Gelu went south to hit Xent'ara with an
absolutely monstrous bestiary.

By now, your heroes should be obscenely powerful, so that this scenario won't be
too difficult. Although it's boring to parade your hero around at the end of
each scenario, now is the time that all that seemingly pointless marching around
pays off.

As you've no doubt guessed, Xeron is hiding in Kelvishen, which is protected by
Garrisons that lead out to Tormentalis and Shadowden. Although he is a tough
nut to crack, I never caught him leaving the confines of that area, so I never
worried about him leaving to capture on of those towns with his huge army,
although you will still have to watch out for other heroes coming out of
Kelvishen and run-on sentences; however, they will not have very large armies as
the bulk of the troops will go to Xeron.

After you have the rest of the towns captured, give one of your heroes all of
your troops. He can then perch right outside Kelvishen and ensure that no new
heroes can emerge and keep Xeron boxed in. You can then run your other two
heroes around to maximize their levels and skills (though it may not be totally
necessary). After one has completed a circuit, send that hero to relieve the
one guarding Kelvishen so that he may also maximize his levels and skills.

At this point, you army should be tough enough to step up to Xeron and his
nasties; so powerful as it is, Armageddon's Blade probably won't swing the
battle's favor in Xeron's way. Make sure that Gelu is the hero who defeats
Xeron as it makes things easier in the next and final scenario. Also,
distribute your artifact goodies among your heroes before defeating Xeron as
artifacts do carry over, but give Gelu the lion's share of the prizes as he will
need them.

SCENARIO 8: Oblivion's Edge
DESCRIPTION: You have 60 days for Gelu to take Armageddon's Blade to the Eeofol
capitol of Kreelah before the forces of the Dungeon Overlords arrive to
reinforce King Lucifer. If Gelu, Roland, or Catherine is lost, your war ends
here.
ALLIES: Blue
ENEMIES: Red
DIFFICULTY: Impossible
STARTING BONUSES: A. 10 Phoenixes
B. 75 Sharpshooters (Recommended)
C. 25 Magic Elementals

ADVICE: I don't want to totally ruin the game for you, so I'll leave you mostly
to your own devices for this last scenario; but I will provide ample hints.

Your final destination, Kreelah, is located roughly in the center of the map. A
large Garrison protects the town.

Speed is of the essence, given the 60 day time limit, though you will probably
either lose a hero or win the game before then. This map is only "Impossible"
if you try to capture each and every Red town before time expires.

Watch out for Xeron and good luck!
