Treants are pretty easy to beat with there slow innitiative... they're just big meatsheilds, if they were all in one stack and you had slow spell.. you should always beat them in my experience :P

Heck I had a similar experience while my 4 cerebries killed a chunk of 18 druids 8| It gotta be related to a week this cases since I did much less dmg with my only 4 cerbs on day 6 before this extra dmg week began.
BTW werent here a topic somwhere where I or somone else added all the different weeks? ;|

No,four stacks.I also managed to win(with that same army)20 something war dancers,10 hunters,4 druids and 2 unicorns,plus a hero.Although I did end with just 3 succubi.

Now I almost won a battle against 24 elder druids and 6 ancient treants with 8 druids of my own,pit fiend and 16 master hunters.3 of their druids survived though :(

Oh how I love mass slow+phantom forces :devil:

When I play H III, week of the plague is almost always an automatic "do over" for me. I'll go back on saved games until I get ANY other result. I'm not against the week system, but it's a big balance issue for me. The benefit or loss shouldn't be some overwhelming thing. Good weeks shouldn't be game winners, and bad weeks shouldn't mean you're HOSED, start OVER!

Gaidal,

How do you know the AI gets heaps of gold for free? Is this through observation or through an official source? Does it occur in MP maps as well? Does it also occur on normal difficulty? I'm trying to determine exactly what cheats the AI gets, since Nival hasn't spelled out exactly how difficulty levels affect the AI. I suspect the AI gets massive cheats, even on Normal. I would like to play against a non-cheating AI if possible. Thanks.

There you go.People have observed both campaigns,single scenarios and MP maps.AI does cheat.
