Author: Markus (London), 03-11-2020 01:39 Impossible to finish - Combinations Played Sylvan - Dungeon fraction on impossible lvl. I use new patch of Heroes 5 (ver 5.63) and there is no such a thing like puppet master (there is hypnotize on summoning magic instead but doesnt work on phoenixes unless u have mind artifacts), and frenzy doesnt work on phoenixes at all. On month 4 i had 4.5k phoenixes to defeat -without artifacts (initiative, or mind ones) i cannot do anything to them, so decided spend 2 extra months for searching artifacts - discovered 4 artifact carts - but they are useless, sell only sh**t. Now I am month 6 and have 10k phoenixes to defeat, still no artifacts, no magic. Have 2.5k hunters but phoenixes are too fast (they have 18 initiative). This map is waste of time
Author: Elliot (New York, USA), 13-10-2020 21:05 Combinations - Combinations I played on impossible. I haven't won yet, but just defeated like 1600 phoenixes in the underground guarding the tent. You need to get the dark magic artifacts otherwise you have no chance! I should also mention I am a very experienced player, almost played since the start

Author: Elliot (United States), 12-10-2020 04:44 Great unique map! - Combinations This was the only heroes map where I literally had to think about what to do for almost an hour before I did anything! Lack of a tavern and a blacksmith and limited town options make it crucial to plan and put things in a different light. Well done!

Only multi-player? - Combinations
I assume you meant heroic. I restarted the game on heroic and after almost 7 months I have conquered my 4 surface castles and all of the underground (including another 8 castles). However, the keymaster tents remain too well guarded.
The most important strategic decision was when to beat Rolf. After that, no real challenges presented themselves anymore.
Thinking about the maps' layout it now seems a multiplayer map by design an perhaps less suited for single-player operation.

Correction: Heroic - Combinations
You are right, I meant heroic, I got that confused with the map sizes. I think both you and Andre are taking too long. I defeated the phoenixes guarding the tent in the middle of month 3, and it took me that long because I spent a lot of time taking over the enemy mines. Perhaps you guys are using the wrong hero? My main hero is Grok, who has both light and dark magic, stormwind, and consume corpse. Those skills, along with the dark magic artifacts got me past most of the armies without many losses.

I'm, sorry, I thought you were someone else, you ARE Andre lol!

Choose hero? - Combinations
I wonder how you got Grok. From the start? If I choose player 1 (default) I get Galib and Nymus and it will take months before I can recruit another hero.

Grok or someone else - Combinations
I got Grok randomly. But it doesn't have to be him. Remember that Galib has mentoring, so just keep trying until you get a hero with light magic and dark magic and then develop him/her.
Author: André Terpstra (Utrecht area, The Netherlands), 08-10-2020 11:08 Too hard with default settings - Combinations Despite its rather unattractive presentation (minimap does not look interesting, no comments at all) I decided to give this map a try. It does really provide interesting and challenging gameplay (on normal difficulty). It took me 2 months to conquer my first castle and nearly another 2 for the second. Now I am almost 6 months into the game, and it’s become impossible to reach the Red Keymaster tent as it’s guarded by some 3,500 phoenixes. Even with storm wind and Galib’s magical abilities.
Before I restart the game I welcome some advice. Perhaps some settings need adjustment.

solution - Combinations
The best idea, would be learning Dark Magic and Puppet Master with Frenzy.
