HttT help, Valley of Death

[jahuu]

That was a hard map. I was playing for the first time, so my army was all filled with lvl 1 folks. (Some had xp, others didn`t)

After a couple of times dying I found out a "bullet proof" tactic.

What did I do?

I started out by recruiting 7 elf warriors, 2 healers and 3 scouts. I sent my 3 scouts to harrass the enemy in different directions (NE, SE and NW). I then sent out my army along with the three heroes to the west, to the mountains. Upon arriving there I put my army against the wall so it seemed like

.............XX...................
...........XHHX.................
.........XOOOX................
-----------------------------

With Hs being healers, Xs being warriors and Os being heroes. The enemy would arrive on turn 7 or so.

In retrospec I did quite a number of mistakes:

1.I should have made monks, not warriors.
2.I should have gone towards and not away from the walking corpses. (They are the easiest enemy)
3.I should`ve not gotten my entire army killed. (Only the three heroes survived)


But hey, I got through!

For this scenario recruit units hard to hit,like thieves.
if you done the isles of damned and moremiru is still alive,go south to have adventage from his renforcement.

ive noticed that avengers completely own in this scenaro, with the two hits to kill a corpse.

This is a bit of a repeat, but I send 3 or 4 levelled up horsemen to the village to the east backed by three healers. They can actually hold off all the corpses for a long time. Then I send a leveled horseman to get the potion to the southeast, then hole up in the village where he can last for a long time.

Elvish Riders take the cities to the NE. Everyone else goest down and kills the Lich, then goes back up to defend the castle. I have never killed all the Liches (or maybe once I did, who knows). I just try to survive the scenario.

with 321 gold hows the best way to survive the 12 turns? I usally choke up and turn 11 when all my elves are killed and my leaders are at the edge of dieing. I'm using only fighters and i have no other lvl +2 units other than the elf guy who hasn't done squat for me yet. what units sould I get and where should I put them?

Just buy thieves and rush to mountains down right put ur leaders (those u cant get killed in the corner and theives in front of them never attack back (only if there are dark adept attacking u). this was my tactick in this map with very limited money... i didnt recall any veterans in this scenario! This should work just fine maybe slow that south undead down if u have units to spend just to let copses get u first and take hexes from those more deadly enemyes... u should be fine and save some money
