Strategy Tips for Episode I

Strategy tips for Episode I

(Provided by Florian Trombach)

You begin with two heroes and just one starting army. Give one hero the starting army and let her head southeast. On the first day you will find an enemy hero there which is easily to be taken out. Conquer the town but donīt bother about building it up. The other hero should take the resources in your mainland and visit the statboosting locations. Do this with your fighter hero as long as you can (remember always to visit stables and drop down slow armies) and build up your mage guild as fast as you can.

The decisive phase is the day 7-1 combo. On day seven, amass all your troops, make the most useful upgrades (Grand elves, silver pegasi and if possible golden dragons) and take the teleporter. Conquer the rampart on the other side and immediately go on and take the teleporter to the south. After this take the teleporter to the south east, conquer the town there and immediately head to the underground. You will find three towns there. Two of them you will be able to take on day one. The second hero should back up to your fast army on day one, turn back and defend your mainland with the dendroids and dwarves. If you come across one of the main enemies heroes on day seven reload. He is too strong (unless you have berserk or clone).

On day two of week two take the last fortress and sit there. Wait! The enemy will surely lose heroes and troops while trying to attack you and with your original troops and the ancient behemoths from the conquered towns you can easily roll back all attacks. Take all mines with hired additional heroes.

If in this time the enemy is launching an attack on the surface draw together all dwarves and dendroids, it should be enough, barely enough, but enough.

At the end of week two take the other exit out of the underground and conquer as many fortresses as you can in a second 7-1 combo. On the surface head south first (always make your back free of enemies). Once again, one town can be left but since you recruit all the fortress troops you should be able to knock down this town very easy. At this time, your second hero will be strong enough to head east and meet your main fighter. With the unified forces the mobbing up in the north is no great task.
