Stats:
Attempt 1
Trying to do Shamans only, because Tinkerbell meta. Did not work. Will retry with normal unit compositions, and then revert to Faeries in the next scenario (which is first scenario where you have access to Faeries.)
Spoiler:
Success
Apparently I'll get Faeries only from S14 onwards. So no Tinkerbell meta for now. :(
Spoiler:
Take 2, success
Replayed a part of it to get a better outcome for next scenario.

Been trying 3 days to no avail, this scenarion is crazy hard, am playing Avatar the hardest
Problem i faced in this scenario:
#enemy mostlt kills me with two unites i have to use 4 unites to kill one
I can't remember how much i restarted
1 I used only fighters
2 only archers
3 tried playing it defensive the only way i get to a stall so i lose by 32 turns
4 Offensive reaching good spots first doesn't help either always lose to two unites even if am 60% defense and enemy is 30%
I hope an not fighting a bug or a glitch here 😂
Toughest i couldn't play so far in the game after infested cave
Version : 1.16.10

Note that addon campaigns usually have not received as much testing and balancing as the mainline campaigns which come with the game, and the various difficulty levels may not be exactly equivalent to those found in mainline campaigns.

You could try "Normal" difficulty...

Since i started doing decently with somehow manageable losses and casualities, i tried doing the hard one
So far i barely passed the first scenario and i did the cancer save reload 3 times to save a key lvl 2 unite

Second scenario felt helpless for me, maybe a better strategist can do it better than me, cause sometimes i rush learned to control it but many scenarios require you to rush to avoid suffering later

1 But so far what i noticed is lot of lvl2 unites with good def

2 Lot of unites have higher dmg than elves as lvl 1

3 humans seems like a copy of undead when elves attack them they lose considerable dmg points, is that supposed to happen?? Elves fear to face chaotic humans ?? 🤔
I will try normal and see this time 😆

Some of the Chaos humans have the Steadfast ability - is that what you mean?

In any case, they are not found in the mainline game, so they might be somewhat unbalanced and overpowered compared to mainline factions. But they are interesting enemies in a campaign, as long as you don't have to fight too many of them at once. :shock:

One type of unites indeed has the steadfast ability
The doom guard units

Facing it make lvl 1 strong elf archer dmg go dwon from 7 to 3 😆
The other unit you still lose dmg power based on day/night time and which enemy you face besides the one with steadfast ability

Afaik elves aren't affected as a neutral unites

Anyhow the hardness of this scenarion got me out of my comfort zone, it's indeed interesting am now playing the easy difficulty and had to redo the S2 5 times 😂(shows how stupid i am)
But not cause i lose completely i restart the scenario mid play cause i lose too much unites and not sure how scenarion well develop later, as most scenarios will require you having at least few lvl 2 unites to win
