GENERAL STRATEGIES I

LaPuce

% OF THE LAND
We can not plant rods on the land of allies. Beware of this on scenarios that requires % of the land to win. Plant rods on open lands or islands whenever you can, this will slowly give you % of the land.

GAIN EXPERIENCE
Remember that using summoning and combat spells won't give experience, avoid using them at the beginning of the game. Wait until your heroes get enough experience levels before using them.

SPELLS
Keep your reserves of manas for higher levels of spells 3 - 4 - 5. It is worth the wait. Choose a long range attack spell for each level. If you get poor on one kind of mana, you won't get stuck. Choose a healing spell if you can, this will make your life easier. A magic book full of spells you can not use is worthless.

USING THE MORE EXPERIENCE LEADER
Use your stronger leader to upgrade the troops, exchange the stronger troops with a less experience hero. That way, the points will go to the troops in the first case and to the leader in the second. This will rapidly gives you more equilibrate troops.

STAYING NEAR A TOWN
If the enemy is blasting you with spells, try to stay near a town. The strategy is : get out, the enemy casts an offensive spell, get in to heal. The enemy will soon run out of mana. Usually, when the enemy is using spells to weaken you, he is sending troops to attack, kill them whenever they come near the town, get in to heal in the same turn. The enemy will soon be out of mana and money spent in buying new troops and you will gain experience in the process. This is a short term strategy. When the enemy is weaker, get out, gain lands and adopt a more aggressive approach.

RETREAT
If you retreat before the end of a fight, the enemy won't gain experience. Use this only if you are in a bad position because you will end up fighting levels 1 or 2 troops and you will soon get bored.

KILL ONE UNIT AT THE TIME IN A CITY
Sometimes when you try to capture a city strongly guarded by high hit points troops and you know you will have to retreat, just try to kill one unit. The AI do not resurrect them most of the time. If you leave while the units in the city are still alive, they will heal before you come back. Come back, kill another one and so on until you can manage to capture the city.

THIEF
Do not use the ability of the thief to steal and sell objects, you will soon loose interest in the game. Stealing a needed artifact is part of the game. The thief attributes are integrated in the play : spying and weakening the enemies, not cheating.
