HotA with VCMI outdated - The Mysterious Island - Heroes 3 map

Hi!

Thanks a lot for trying to play the map — I’m really sorry it’s not working.

From what I understand, there’s a big gap between the version of HotA emulated through VCMI and the “real” official HotA.

To work properly, the map requires Horn of the Abyss version 1.7.2 or 1.7.3.

I have been trying to figure out a way to beat him on anything but easy all night long. No matter what I do, his stacks are spread out across the board in such a way that in a couple of rounds, I have nowhere to move. And it's not like I can kill an entire stack at once. I have No Retaliation, Clones, etc.

I'm just going to move along...but I would love to know how you beat Nagash on ouch. I've been able to match all your other fights (God of Water on hard took a long time), but Nagash seems impossible.


Author: Synesthesiac, 16-01-2017 10:43
+ - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
I actually looked there. I don't think Nagash is there. They only go up to day 157, and Nagash shows up at 160 something. You were definitely stronger than I am, I was moving too slow. I started over. I still can't see any way to avoid his first attack. Do you remember what you did?

At wakeofgods.org/mods I uploaded a rar file (months ago) containing all my tew2 saves -look up in the list, and there is nagash too. Try to see in how is different, because I recall easy battle.


Author: Synesthesiac, 16-01-2017 04:57
+ - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
Yea, save before battle is nice though. Doesn't seem to work with ERA.

Got any tips on how to beat Nagash? Even on easy, a single stack of vampires kills all my angels. No matter what I do he casts Haste and wipes me out first round. I've only got about 1500 mana, so not enough force field to hide through the battle. I don't get clones first round either because he has tactics. I am thoroughly stumped.

Yea, I had to start over and move faster. Was much stronger with more angels this time and he was pretty easy to beat...on easy.

I don't know how anyone is beating him on hard or ouch though. I had to be able to at least take a hit from him on my main stack of angels in order to make it through.


  Valery (Lyon, France) writes:
26-01-2017 01:01

+ - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition

Well, my test was on easy too. Easy is the default difficulty, it doesn't necessarily means it is easy. Also note that more fights you win on ouch, more mithril you get so the guy who won nagash on ouch had probably much more abilities on his angels (attack around etc)


  Valery (Lyon, France) writes:
26-01-2017 01:03

+ - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition

Also I recall Nagash has no spells, so is imperative you defeat him before he takes any town. With no spells, you can just split angels in 7 stacks, cast mass slow then send the clones to bait. Should work on ouch./

Haste was the problem!

The first time he came through, I let him get to the Haste shrine near the monolith exit. He must have expert air magic, which made him pretty much impossible.

I apologize, with so many maps to talk about I screwed things. I checked my saves and month 5 I had 140 archangels. not 400. I am uploading now saves from day 8 to day 150 to wakeofgods.org/mods.

Check the link in one hour because is 180 mo to upload then search in the list for TEW2 Era edition.rar (not exe, that one is the map). So you will be able to check every day save and see how to have 140 aa. note that my game was not fast but at moderate speed. There are players who finished it twice faster than me, so my saves are not hard to replicate.

Can you please explain me how I can have 400 arcangels in Month 5 and I will try the map again on harder difficulty. Because 2 castles and portal of glory = 7 archangels/week and some griffin conservatory don't add up to 400 :/ You can send me an email to daiktai111@gmail.com if you don't want to disclose the strategy to public.


Author: Valery (Lyon, France), 14-12-2016 22:13
+ - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
Well, the Era version is harder than the original. 1300 gems are nothing, battles give resources so try battles on harder difficulty. In month 5 you should have ~400 archangels

if too hard, play the original (SoD), there is no time limit and is great map anyway.


Author: Lu0uX (Lithuania), 14-12-2016 20:41

Perhaps I am missing something, but I only have 44 archangels on 5/1/1. How do you invest in archangel growth if it's required 1300 gems to do so? Also I can barely beat god on water on easy? Am i missing some major strategy?

Great Map - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
Just finished this one in M6, me v AI on Impossible. The map design is beautiful, and there are a lot of fun areas to explore. I have some suggestions though:

It ended up being too easy. This probably isn't an issue at all in multiplayer, but vs AI, I was unbeatable by the end of the second month with Rampart. Maybe you could make a single player only version giving the AI bonuses, to make the map more difficult.

The hidden castles are cool, but it takes too long to get there. By the time I did, I could have easily swept the map, I only checked to see what was there. It wasn't worth it. I think it could be cool if capturing your Prism Castle was a win scenario. You could stack the garrison to make the fight difficult. That could make it matter, and deal with the tedious cleanup at the end of the map.

More Admiral's Hats!!!!

That's it...thanks for the hard work!

Also please try all battles vs neutrals (not AI heroes) on OUCH. It gives many resources which you have to invest in praetorian growth, early.

At Nagash battle I had 350 archangels, same day as you, and I didn't play especially fast.


Author: Valery (Lyon, France), 02-12-2016 23:57
+ - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
It is impossible to make maps both accessible to cool play and veterans. So usually I set difficulty levels in map scripts, as this map as default is easy. Nicolas played all battles on Ouch (x10 army) so it is possible to finish it when 10 times harder.

I suggest to start again, never go back but always advance with main hero, and select map difficulty 200% not easy. Never play on easy (60%-100) because the AI is poorly coded on easy and does many mistakes which can screw your game.

Play always on 200%, is much safer.

Nagash - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
I think I must restart the game and make some effort to get special abilities as well as buy more damage earlier. Currently I have 200 Praetorians, 270 Champions, 430 Zealots, 470 Crusaders, 990 Royal griffins, 1630 marksman and 160 sharpshooters. Hero stats are : 33/32/27/38. At first round when I cast mass haste, all my stack can attack before Nagash' turn. But only Praetorians kill 3/4 of one stack of vampires. The rest of my stacks are rather too weak to make significant damage. And then vampires kill me in their turn completely. One stack of vampires can kill any of my stack, even Praetorians.


Author: Valery (Lyon, France), 02-12-2016 21:54
+ - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
Wog maps are quite dynamic so is hard to give an advice without knowing exactly how much army you have, what damage got the archangels, what stats you have etc. Then there is a difference between playing for speed and playing for pleasure, usually in the maps I script there is indeed time limit, but it applies to average game play, not to fast players, so should not be a problem. I checked my save and archangels have indeed attack and return + no retal but also they can wipe an entire stack of vamps in one hit, so this means you can win vs nagash without abilities, just go with all army, clone archangels then resurrect everybody in the end.

Nagash - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
I have been playing this map on easy only and pretty slowly - I just play for pleasure without trying to achieve possibly fastest completion. As a result, on the date 6/4/4 my 200 Preaetorian have "reduce defence" and "clone" only- because I get mithrill from smelters, not from susscesful battles. And now Nagash turns up - I am helpless. Is it really possible to beat him without "no enemy retaliation" and other special skills?


Author: Nicolas, 30-11-2016 14:16
clones 2 - The Empire of the World II -Era Edition
just to mention more: even in the 3 battles that you can use the clone strategy, it is not that easy or straight forward. you have to do it smartly and place your units and clones in a way that the AI can reach the clones but not the units. the common player will not be able to do it.
