Every enemy army will have archers, and usually more than one stack. So they either move them all, or take a gamble and you may hit them anyway. And against some of the slower walkers (treants, for example) you often land on them before they move. When facing neutral archers, you can fight them with...

I think that Cleansing should remove rage from enemy creatures. Something like 25% with no mastery, 50% with basic, 75% with advanced and 100% with Expert. Creature abilities like Harm Touch should also remove Rage. And Dungeon should have some specific way of removing Rage, as they currently strugg...

A Warlock has 50% more spellpower than a Wizard, which gives just under 50% more damage. Elemental Gargoyles add more damage than this, though they are obviously very situational. Empowered Spells add 50% damage for double mana cost, MotW adds 100% damage for double mana cost. Elemental Chains adds ...

My problem with Dark Magic is that so many creatures have immunities to various spells that it is easy to counter. Against Academy: Titans, Golems and Gargoyles are immune to mind spells, Steel Golems are immune to Slow, Magnetic Golems are immune to all spells, Magi have Cleansing, and the hero pro...

1) Shieldguards 2) Skirmishers 3) Blackbear Riders 4) Battleragers 5) Unsure, maybe Rune Keepers... 6) Thunder Thanes, unless I have Armageddon 7) Magma Dragons I always get Soldier's Luck with Fortress, as they benefit far more from it than any other team - I might rethink some choices if I couldn'...

I think Sylvan have probably the best hero lineup of any team. Dirael is brilliant. The damage is pathetic, but at high levels she can almost stop 3 enemy units from ever acting. Vinrael is brilliant now he can get Mentoring, he can level up faster than any other hero in the game, then pass on exper...

I think the faction balance in TotE is the best it has been at any point in the series. Same with Might/Magic balance. I'm happy with keeping the current game engine, the engine/graphics are pretty good right now and not the most important thing. What the game desperately needs are: More/More varied...

Practise playing 2-player games on small maps, with factions that are good early on (Academy, Dungeon, Necropolis). If you win the first battle convincingly then the map becomes quite easy, as you don't really need to leave much defence behind in 2-player games. Then after mastering this, try other ...

Are prices definitely reduced for the AI then? Any way to test/prove this? I find medium is unplayably easy. The computer goes for melee units first in battles and doesn't use high level spells, making battles a joke. But it took me a lot of practice before I could win on Hard - I think lots of peop...

According to the fan manual, the computer gets the same starting resources as the player on Hard. As for behaviour: 'The AI has no spell restriction and may cast area of effect spells between units. It moves its stacks depending on the positions on the enemy units, avoiding to be reached first, and ...

According to the fan manual, on Hard, the AI attacks flyers first, then shooters/casters, then melee units. While on Heroic, it attacks shooters/casters first, then flyers, then melee units. So on Hard it is actually still handicapped, and will ignore shooter units to hit your flying units instead. ...

A huge factor is the level your hero is at. If you have two high-level heros, you can leave one behind with a relatively small army, and decimate them with spells before they can take down your walls. But if your secondary hero is very low-levelled, you can lose to an army much smaller than yours ev...

New Academy Guide
Fantastic guide, I was really hoping somebody would make this. Two minor things: 1) When creeping, you can kill hordes of golems very easily in the first week. Saboteurs can stop them ever even moving. 2) Armageddon most definitely does heal Magnetic Golems, I think it's the protecting-allies abilit...
