Battle for Androna
Battle for Androna
Has anyone played this map on Hard level as a single player??
Believe me, it is really HARD !! One of the most difficult maps I've ever played....
On my third try I was able to win it with the Academy faction, after a long and bitter struggle. At this difficulty level this map is a real challenge and I highly recommend it and congratulate and thank the author (sorry, can't remember your name at the moment)....
With the editor you can easily make it into an Allies map and play it with a friend. I've done this, but we have been defeated twice and are into our third attempt with a new faction combination.

Myythryyn did this map.
he(?) also did the "fury of the elements" map, which is much smaller but just as interesting.
give that one a shot.
both his maps released so far are here.

I haven't looked at the editor, is scripting necessary. Can't you just make a defeat all enemies map plain old style map, no events.
... well, heroic one player here, long, interressant yes, hard no. ( of course, AI didn t put these 160 + 160 black dragons in the same army, that helps )Has anyone played this map on Hard level as a single player??

ok, I did it with necro, but i think appart from sylvan, it is doable with all town ( especially academy with golems dwellings yum !! )
Last thing GOW, is your size the throne more challenging ?
I support(ed?) Nival... flame on !!!

If you manage to get the imprisoned hero with Nature's Luck ultimate, then you might have a chance with Sylvan. The question is - will you last that long? I couldn't...Kilop wrote: ok, I did it with necro, but i think appart from sylvan, it is doable with all town ( especially academy with golems dwellings yum !! )
I did relatively easily with Dungeon on heroic (might have been hard, can't remember now), but didn't have a single chance with Academy...Last thing GOW, is your size the throne more challenging ?

All positions in "Seize The Throne" are winable but some positions are not as easily defendable as others, as stated in the readme. From most defendable to least is roughly Haven, Necropolis, Inferno, Dungeon, Sylvan, and lastly Academy.fly away wrote:If you manage to get the imprisoned hero with Nature's Luck ultimate, then you might have a chance with Sylvan.

I played on Normal with Sylvan and coasted most of the way. Sylvan is always tough on Hard due to the wood requirements, but why else would it be?
My approach is to choose a Resource bonus and hope for wood. Then buy two heroes, merge armies and hit the Sawmill right away. If that fails, it's curtains.

Before you criticize someone, first walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have their shoes.
I actually read the Readme before playing. Didn't help me much when I had 3 main heroes attaking me one by one - Sylvan, Necro and Haven (as if they had nothing else to do). I survived the first two and could have probably survived the third one if it wasn't one after one. Stronger faction separating creatures might have helped.Grumpy Old Wizard wrote: All positions in "Seize The Throne" are winable but some positions are not as easily defendable as others, as stated in the readme.

On normal I hire 2 addtional heroes and combine armies on the main heroe.
You should be able to conquer pretty much everything around your starting town in 2 weeks. After that head up to the capital city that you get the spy report on (your faction's second town) and conquer it around day 3 or 4 of the next week.
While your main heroe heads up to conquer the second town use your squire to explore areas off the road so you can see where your main hero needs to strike next for resources. There are enough resource pockets to allow you to build fluidly, though you may "sweat" some in the early going, and may have to use the market a little.
The 2 elemental dwelling are of great early assistance to the academy. Visit Tower Grump to trade other elemental types for water elementals as those will be the most useful for the Academy.
While I did place my favorite faction in the most difficult position, if I can win with it, so can you.
Furthur discussion of Seize The Throne should be moved here: viewtopic.php?t=4296
so as not to hyjack the thread for the excellent Battle for Androna map.

Battle for Androna was an awesome map but his newest is even beter...(Playgrounds of the gods). Like Androna it is a little to large but lucky for me I have alot of time on my hands...lol. I was lucky to get Markel from prison. And with him being a deathlord plus having diplomacy/herald of death I finished with levels 1-5 all being leagions with 500 death knights and 250 dragons..lol.
