Muff Malal's Peninsula/Isle of the Damned

Post by ryn »

Apparently, I can't finish either of these (on 0.8.2, Medium). I come into Muff's with two elven riders, a captain, and a knight. Any tips/strategies appreciated - I have been stuck here for quite some time. I normally (on muff malal's peninsula) send a pair of forces to the west and south. I totally fail IotD in which I generally spread my forces and search for the white mage. (it seems random)

moremirmu is in one of the 3 temples, random yeah
having those troops are pretty crap, you need more captains/heroes/marksman/rangers/druids, the scouts can wait. Apparently, before going to IotD I already have 2 druids, 1 captain, 1 hero, 2 knights, 1 red mage and my konrad is lvl 2.
You really need Konrad to be at least lvl 2, otherwise it's gonna be real hard.

More particularly, he's in one of the two closer to you, and the other of the two contains a Revenant and some Walking Corpses.

Your troops ar too weak. I've beaten the level easily with a Captain, a Ranger, a Druid, two Knights (one of which close to level up to undead-squishing-Paladin), one White Mage (really useful) and a couple of level 1 experienced units from BotP.
Just recruit some more Mages then go south, wait for dawn and kill 'em all. Beware of Dark Adepts though, their ranged attack is really strong. This level is very easy: stock up on gold and XP for the next one, you'll need it!
Your scouts ar good to lure those stupid bats to attack them, giving your main army some breath.

I beat this level easily with two Rangers, a Captain, and a bunch of fighters, archers, and shamans. It's easy enough even without leveled units. (in normal)

A Balanced Question...

Post by Mortsubite »

Which scenario helps you the most?

Muff is great for taking level 1 fighters, mages, and horsemen up to level 2; and I've taken a few level 2's to 3. You get lots of gold (you will need it) and you season your elves.

Damned is more fun to me. While I don't get the chance to level up my fighters, mages, and horses; I do come away with a TON of gold (you add your winnings to you BoP total), Urlaf, a bunch of Thugs going up to Bandit (great against trolls and undead), Poachers going up to Trapper (great if you want ranged weapons in the mines where the elves can't move very well), a kick-ass white mage that joins your mission, and Konrad goes to level 3.

So what works better- post up and let's see what people think!

U can make IOtD with a lot of footpads
recruit 2 waves, put 1 or 2 mermen to the north
and keep your mage friend secure
target: northern castle

I prefer the Peninsula. It is much simpler and gives you the chance to get lots of gold and XP. You can beat Valley of Death even without the white mage reinforcements.
