Thank You all for the suggestions, I started TSoG a day ago, and played almost to the end of part 1. The campaign is just too easy, as you have trolls for recruits. After this NR is going down!

Trolls as in troll whelps or trolls?

Troll Whelps as they are rigid and can be leveled in about 3 turns. I finished part 1 and now its time for part two.

Finished Campaign TSoG and started NR. Played upto Eastern Flank, I will play the scenario tomorrow. The first scenario was the toughest battle I ever fought, but in the end suicide attack patterns won (Zlex, had a noble sacrifice!).

Did you try sending distracting units in various directions and leaving guards behind to slow down the enemy and die heroic?

Tried that on the first 10 tries, but achieved success on the eleventh. Finished Campaign. Now, only the Eastern Invasion remains. I will be completing that in the near future.

Finished campaign Eastern Invasion. I have done it! I have completed all campaigns without cheating (on the easiest difficulty), and I would like to thank the forum members who helped me all the way. :D

Good job! It won't be long before you are doing challenges! Actually, with as much experience as you have now, you would probably find medium difficulty even easier than easy. More bad guys means more opportunities to level. I found that the number of higher-level units I could recall more than made up for the extra enemy units coming at me. (Not the same with hard though.)

Nicely done. As a relatively long time player (since 1.4.7) I can say even I've not completed half the campaigns once on the easiest difficulty (though I have completed HttT at least twice on medium and also Hammer of Thursagon on medium!).

Some of the campaigns are still hard, even when I started in the 1.0 era.

I've returned and I have completed A Rough Life and A Tale of Two Brothers (this time on the challenging difficulty)
Had a problem with the epic scenario of ARL though, mostly because of unclear objectives.

And now, I'm playing After the Storm (Episode 1)

Can't seem to get past Human Alliance. I've been reading a lot on this scenario, and have tried some different strategies on hard, but it's useless. Lately I have been going for the "run to the castle with everything I got, and on the way over kill the troll leader, which worked out fine, but once I am good and well in the castle, on turn 17 (night-time) things start to become impossible. By the time I reach the castle I usually have 4 shydes, 1 druid, 4 dwarven lords, 2 stalwards (lvl 2), 2 elvish champions, 1 marshal, 1 sylph, 1 enchantress, 2 avengers and 1 or 2 lvl 2 elf fighters. The thing is, by turn 15 or 16 they start encircling the castle, and by turn 17 they hack my tanks to shredds, as they are not full hp anymore. I start this scenario with 460ish gold, and can't recruit much more than I have anyway, and the reïnforcements are pretty useless. the 4 avengers have no chance to make it to the castle, so I hide them and distract some lonely orcs, the rider actually made it, but got whacked, and the other 2 were doomed from the get go.

I actually replayed the previous 3 scenarios in order to level up more tanks and get some extra gold, but I don't see any way in dealing with the night time. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure why you post this here, it probably gets more feedback in the Legend of Wesmere thread. I am about to play this scenario too, on difficult (high lord) difficulty with 478 gold and a different army composition (i have some experienced wose that burn easily but only 5 L2 non-shaman elves)

Good luck with that. What thread do you mean? The campaign feedback forum one?

I got some lvl 2 woses too, but as they are fairly useless in the castle vs orcs I decided to let them be.
