Author: Synesthesiac (United States), 21-10-2021 03:30 Finished! - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition Beat Cesar on OUCH 10-3-4.
It can obviously be done much faster, but I wasn't really going for speed. I just wanted to beat as much of it as possible on OUCH.
Did all fights on OUCH except the following all done on HARD:
King Arthur
Gretchin
Cyclops King
Titan Master
Pyre (couldn't figure out the hell barons)
Ingham
Tyris
Nero
My game was bugged, and I wasn't getting clones round 1. I think most of these fights are possible with that working.
Hardest fights were Ghengis Kahn, Dragon King and Brissa. Each one required a unique strategy and perfect execution to pull off. Brissa and Ghengis Kahn took a couple of hours fight time each.
Easiest were Wystan and God of Air. Did both of them in just a few minutes, with only a replay or two to make sure I had it figured.
I spent a the time to do the the first Guard on OUCH, which will long and boring, made the rest possible.
Amazing map. Thanks Valery!!!
On to TEW4!

I don't know how you managed without clones round 1, congrats. It's not bugged, is that you use this version with Era 3 which changed the timing of clones. There is version for Era 3 but I didn't upload here, ask in HC and I give. Since Era 3 is out, I have to fix all my maps but no time. This version is for Era 2.
Author: Synesthesiac (United States), 20-10-2021 20:39 ... - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition Wait....are you getting your clones before round 1?
Because I am not.
Am I doing something stupid?
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 20-10-2021 18:54 Like So Gretchin on ouch... - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition In 5/4/4 I have 243 praetorians with attack twice,ressurect twice and 57 damage.There are 7 archers there so I don't think it's cheat to put down one tower from first round (so reload
several times)...and then I started to harvest clones ,so one praetorian kill ballista and comander and the rest on wait! Block what you can and ressurect the fallen praetorians for further clones;I hope I don't need to tell you which spell is required here ;) . Once you have enough clones to keep them busy,block the gate and eliminate them one by one
Let's see... - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
First: one message error about some monster (I guess my version doesn't recognize your praetorians);second message - the save wasn't done properly or it is an old version;third thing - Mximus speciality appears like +2 speed all units,but still shows praetorians abilities;forth - I pressed F12 to restore your save to my settings (before I couldn't even set the fight on any difficulty) : good news ,tactic works;bad news,your praetorians are novice .So tactics can be enable from top right button from your army formation (as I did for you) and if you add or change some mods,just press F12 to apply them.If the problem is somewhere else,you'd better ask Valery
I've been getting occasional errors, but it didn't seem to be affecting the gameplay. Guess I was wrong about that.
Changing the tactics doesn't work for me. Oh well, at least I know I wasn't crazy...those fights are probably not doable without initial clones. I've only got 2 fights left, I'm just going to finish.
Have you played TEW4 recently? If so, do you know what ERA version and mods you used? I'm going to play that next and I'd like to get it right.

Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 19-10-2021 23:43 Like On ouch - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition I've done all heroes (and most of creatures) on ouch,exept King Arthur (untill yesterday).I remember from my previous play that stronghold heroes are not so strong considering the developement;don't forget ,if it's necessary,you can tank up praetorians a bit (not sure if I used that ).Wizards are much stronger .Right now I am about to fight Genghis Khan in 5/2/6 with 178 praetorians with 55 damage and 31 millions for damage and some speed;I will try with minimum ,maybe I can use money for grow (it's +5 right now).Still,never get gems from spoils of war :). About teleporting the titans...if you noticed from picture,I never intended to block the gate , at least at that stage,only after the king has no mana for anything.
Author: Synesthesiac (United States), 19-10-2021 19:55 ... - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition Yea...it can definitely be done without bow. Makes it easier though )))
My problem I think was he rolled teleport in guild, so even once I was set up correctly, at some point he teleported out his Titans.
I'm currently trying to do the Terrible on Ouch. Very difficult fight. Basically have to kill all the genies, while blinding everything and keeping the Titans blocked. But like 1 out of 3 tries the genies anti-magic the rust dragons and it's gg.
OUCH is madness...lol
Were you able to do the shooters on OUCH? Orcs, Clops and Titans Master? I couldn't figure out a method to deal with them, and eventually just did them on hard.
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 19-10-2021 18:26 Like The bow - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition I have the bow - I found the string in one of the sea chest or ships,not sure.but it's not very odd,in my previous play I had it too before fighting brother Tuck.Probably it would work well even without it - zealots position is to take out titan amunition .Dragons' behaviour is very strange,they are on wait if titans are free to shoot and remains on defend if titans are still free on their turn;so with 3 units left (comander,zealots and marksmen) vs. titans,dragons and blinded units,dragons never came out to attack my marksmen - all I had to do was to ressurect a pegas next to titans when dragons wait and hope that fear will not affect titans.Only with last mana points,Arthur blinded marksmen and killed catapult and ammo cart - but it was already too late
Author: Synesthesiac (United States), 19-10-2021 18:21 Levels - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition I'm at level 67 fighting the Wizards. Should I not be taking trees? I don't remember if overflow fix mod fixes the level 74 bug or not.
The trees - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
I think it's ok to take the trees midgame,to get new skills once you maximize what you have; i tried once to take them later and the overflow happened
Author: Synesthesiac (United States), 19-10-2021 17:20 ... - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition Nicely done. I tried for a long time, before giving up and going for Hard there.
Do you have bow of the sharpshooter? Not sure how you can have your archers placed where they are. It its possible to get it with luck from chests or sea banks. I never did though.
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 18-10-2021 23:31 Like King Arthur on ouch - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition Gents,I made it!
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 18-10-2021 22:37 Like THAT POSITION - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition I got it!!!Still in play...
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 18-10-2021 21:47 Like One idea to check - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition You are right about fire shield,but this is not the problem. I need some pegasi due to their speed (between gold dragon and titans),praetorians as tank and some luck about his magic resistance.Step 1: forgetfulness - SA will not block MG,MG and AM move forward;step 2: reduce enchanters and block titans;step 3 : blind MG and tp some archers next to MG (hopefully they will be killed by AM to create next barricade);step 4:blind AM and tp comander in corner ,next to tent;step 5 :kill enchanters and ressurect archers until titans get dry ammunition.In last position I will have comander and archers blocked by blinded MG and AM - not sure how to continue,but as I said,it's an idea to be checked
Author: VALERY, 18-10-2021 20:20 + - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition One of the main problems in this map is that early towns have random spells, King Arthur always got fire shield and that's why he is so hard, basically every time you hit you lose a lot too. In the last version (probably the one you play) I removed some of the deadly spells as teleport of dispel from some heroes, but not fire shield. I don't think Arthur can be done on ouch, but if you manage it, tell us how.
About teleport - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
King Arthur has teleport in my fight,too,but he never casted.Same story with Arjuna fight on ouch: there is cure but it was never casted when I started to blind all units.
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 18-10-2021 20:14 Like Gold is not the answer - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition I managed to build angels in second week and capitol in third;beside,there are some fights on normal and,sometimes hard, around first town.Then everything went smooth: second town,Robin Hood,God of Water,utopia,prince John and brother Tuck (all on ouch without trouble).In 4/1/2 I got 89 praetorians with 55 damage (still looking for some improvement before Arthur - I noticed I missed some trees of knowledge)
Author: VALERY, 18-10-2021 19:21 + - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition My save King Arthur is 4.2.2, 96 praetorians with 54 damage. Didn't have the patience to do it on ouch, hard was enough "hard" :)
Author: VALERY, 18-10-2021 19:17 + - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition You can get those OUCH battles if you change your commander for brute once you reach the first town. That gives back 50% of battle experience in gold, which makes huge difference. There is a password for unlocking this feature, pass you can get on last fight (but I also can give it by mail if asked)
Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 18-10-2021 18:50 Like Second try for King Arthur on ouch - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition I am on 3/4/7 with 67 praetorians with 55 damage,+1 grow and attack & return (I'm about 200 mithrills short to have no retaliation on them),663 marksmen and 171 zealots;Maximus on level 45 and stats 37/28/37/28 - quite similar with Arthur.I will give some chances to fight this week;if not ,I can explore around brother Tuck area and attack next week (I did my best to reach Arthur before 4th month started in good conditions - stats,army,arts).
I just beat Conflux King. Tricky to figure out, but easy once I did.
Ghengis Kahn has been the hardest fight of the game. It took me a very long time to figure out a strategy, and then once I did, one mistake and all was lost. It was the longest fight...longer I think that the first Guard on ouch. Took hours, and I almost ran out of mana. The Dracolich block is infuriating...lol
The only wizard that gave me a problem was Titan Master. Had to do that on hard. When you get to the Orcs, and Cyclops fights, please let me know how you do it on ouch. I was really strong for those fights, but still 1 shot from any of the shooting stacks, and I'm dead.
As for growth, I tried really hard not to trade any resources until I had 7 castles and got 2 for 1 trading. Then I went all in on growth. It's 926 now, and I've got 40 a week in each castle...60 in the grail castle. Plus about 100 a week from extra mithril.
An option - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
After defeating Genghis Khan,there are so many options for fights;most obvious one is God of earth ,then make ur way to barbarians.Another option is to go straight to Xeron,then GoE,barbarians and,once I'll get orb of vulnerability,to fight straight God of air ,then God of fire(this is how I did it before,using the orb before giving to that gate).so I 'm not picking attack all around yet.I am not sure if time or an event will trigger Nagash and I don't know if I'll have to come back for him while I'll be in barbarian campain
I did the same with the orb. Made God of Fire very easy.
I did God of Air much later when I had the second Orb. But that fight has a trick to make it super easy, you can do it anytime really.
Nagash is on a timer. He comes end of month 6 sometime.
I just had an insane fight against Brissa. One of the hardest so far. Took me a few hours to figure out and do properly. When I finally won, my angels disappeared! No way I'm doing it again. Cheater! it is...lol

Its a known bug, it happens when you try to clone your cornered angels and no clones appear. After the battle the stack you tried to clone is gone. So when you see clone fails, reload battle.
Yea...It happened so far into the fight, there was no way I was doing it over again. Sad I won't get a score, but my sanity was at stake...lol
That fight vs Brissa I had to set up so that they were hitting me in the slot on top with fireshield on my angels, so I could wear them down enough to hypnotize. It took so long to get it right...haha

I have like 280 AA's with everything up to attack all around, and 60 damage. I can't even come close.
Would love to know how anyone did it. I'm gonna try on hard, but I think that's even going to be a struggle...lol

My save is on hard, orcs have 7-10 damage. As I said previously Ouch mode is for nuts:)
I saw some say OUCH was possible, but I don't see it. At least not 615. Maybe in another month, I could kill 2 stacks of orcs round 1, but ain't nobody got time for that.
So far this is the only fight besides King Arthur I couldn't do on OUCH.
Ghengis Kahn was a mad mad fight. Took like 3 hours, and I had less that 100 mana left at the end...lol
Now Xyron, which from what I read, is going to be very difficult because I have attack all around.
VALERY writes:

Ouch all may be possible by unlocking the brute commander, but for that you must get the password after the last fight. The brute changes the game.
Xyron is no problem. The fire shield is just annoying.

I'm having a good run. Just beat Wystan 4/4/1. All AI heroes defeated on OUCH except King Arthur. I don't think there's a way to get strong enough to kill the enchanters fast that early in the game.
The commander's fear ability does more harm than good in the OUCH fights, btw. Often you have to resurrect units to block a shooter, and if that shooter gets fear, he stays blocked at the beginning of the round. This causes the big stacks to come rushing out for murder. Very frustrating, when you're taking hour long fights...lol.
Wystan was the easiest fight so far. Figuring out the Dwarf Master was really tricky. Very interesting fight.
Anyway...this map is super fun. My first time trying to do it on OUCH, and it's incredibly challenging. Kudos as always.

Good question - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
Probably AI will react different only if the difference between his forces and yours are not so big in his favour (ex. if his archers are enough to kill you when you siege a town,his stronger forces will not leave the base).That's why I've played on ouch almost every hero fights

Well you can remove in script, but then map loses any interest, as force field alone wins most battles (as in any map). The way is designed here is to be used only in critical situations, especially in OUCH difficulty.

I had a problem, during era 2.9.14 at the gatekeeper in ouch mode the 56 dwarfs. in hard mode, the 18 dwarfs knocked down the archangel to one beat. I read afterwards and it turned out that the era works properly under 2.46f. Unistall era 2.9.14, delete folder. Use Ccleaner to perform a registry cleanup and then a cleanup.
I reinstalled GOG heroest + era 2.46f. Interestingly, the map editor can see what folders I opened during era 2.9.14. How? After that, I assume they could have remained for other settings. What else needs to be deleted before reinstalling.?
What mods are worth using and in what order should they be in the mod manager? Is there a fixed order? Eg: Is the wog at the bottom, TEWII in front of it, etc.?
