Though it is a first-level castle, it is always better than nothing.
As usually, you cannot waste time.
You have to upgrade it as soon as possible and recruit your army.
You have to defeat three castles and take a sea trip.
But your are not alone.
Your new apprentice,Lucretiawill help you.
First of all, buildRuined Tower(Ghosts) and recruit the troops.
Now start defeating enemy creatures.
It should not be a problem.
You will get somecrystals,woodandore.
Upgrade your castle to third level (City Hallgiving you 2,000 gold per turn).
This will give you 2,500 gold every day.
It turns out that first of theCrystals of Poweris on your island (M1/2, M3/9).
The rest of them are unfortunately somewhere else.
before you kick off looking for theRing of the Unrepentant, you better stabilize your military-economic situation.
A small island located south-east will help you with that.
You will find there a Stronghold’sFort(M3/11) and twoCrystal mines(M3/12, M3/13).
Build your ship (M3/7) and get to the mentioned island.
Collect some items on your way and land on the beach.
Defeat enemies protecting camp of Orcs (severalCentaursandPanther Warriors).Take the Fort and change it into Necropolis.
DefeatingCyclopsaccompanied withHarpieswill not cause any problems.
Besides next to theFortyou will findDragon Nexus(M1/3,M3/14).
It is protected by a group ofWater Elementals.
Defeat them and claim your prize.
Now your mana points double and your journal updates.
Find twoCrystal mines(M3/12,M3/13) and take them.
The whole island is yours.
In the meantime, a rival hero will come to the island (Necromancer, level 1).
He wants to take yourFort(M3/11).
You have no choice but to attack.
At the same time buildVampire Mansion(Vampires) in your capital city.
You will not have any problems with the enemy.
Leave the island and go north where you will find the defeated army’s base.
Defeat the hero and troops left in the building.
At the first sight it seems that your chances are rather low, but in factSandrois stronger.
The castle does not have fortifications.
Besides your hero is more experienced (has more abilities used also by his army).
You attack, therefore the first move is yours.Sandrois not the best man to besiege any building.
In fact, it is an advantage.
The fortifications keep the enemy’s army at bay.
Make use of theSummon Darkness Elementalspell.
Let the creature between enemy troops and attack (I recommendSkeletonsorSkeletal Spearmen).
The computer does not act very wisely.
Our enemy wants to get rid of yourDarkness Elementaland gathers his troops around it.
It is perfect moment to use another spell,Lightning Chain.
Complete magic attacks with the ordinary ones.
You will win the castle mostly thanks to your spell book.
The only think you will lose are your mana points.
Win, and another Necropolis will become yours.Telal-gamil(M3/15) is an average developed castle.
But the most important are dwellings supplying you with troops.
Therefore it can become a base for further expansion.
Unfortunately, you cannot explore the map, so go back toAlma-zeri(M1/1,M3/1).
Your opponent (Necromancer, level 3) will move towards yourFort(M3/11).
Also build one inAlma-zeriafter buildingCapitolfirst (M1/1,M3/1).
Now, when you’re able to recruitLiches,buildHaunted Tower(Specters) inTetal-gamil(M3/15).
When you get to start location,Lucretiawill supply you with new troops.
Take the ship and head to the next island.
The enemy will withdraw.
Turn around and go back to take more troops.
With greater army includingLichesandVampiresgo nearFortto attack theBarra-nadinrepresentative (M3/21).
You will catch the enemy army at the sea.
This easy win should make the other necromancer think for a while.
In the meantime buildVampire Mansions(Vampire Lord) in both castles.
Then buildCity Hall(level 3) in your newly gained castle andMausoleumin both of them (Archliches).
But your opponent is trying to steal yourFort(M3/11) from you!
Though you cannot improve yourLichesorVampires, you have to draw her into a sea fight.
After an easy win, it is time to get another castle.
BuildTown Portalin both your castles.
Head for your enemy’s base.
You will defeat him easily.
NowBarra-nadinis yours (M3/21).
Additionally, you will find anotherCrystal of Power(M1/4,M3/17).
The island is not very big.
You will find there anotherSawmill(M3/24).
Go back toTelal-gamil(M3/15).
Now, withBarra-nadin(M3/21) everything will become slightly easier.
The computer will not attack you so often.
you could explore the land, including the island withTelal-gamil.
When you are on your way back, buildPestilen Catacomb(Putrid Lamasu) there.
Now you’re free to change yourLichesintoArchlichesandLamasuintoPutrid Lamasu.
That is not all, as you will find theMagic Menageriein the neighborhood (M3/26).
It allows for recruitingTimberandDire Wolvesas well asMermaids.
LeaveSkeletal MarksmenandRavenous Ghouls(e.g.
in a castle) and recruit creatures fromMagic Menagerie.
In the meantime develop your castles and explore the map, especially its east part.
There must be the objects you are looking for.
The beach is on south-east fromTelal-gamil(M3/15).
Go east, not south.
You will find there the lastCrystal of Power.
It is guarded by numerousEarth Elementals.
Eliminate the enemies and touch the crystal to upgrade your journal.
Now you have to find the Souls Well.
It seems you are not alone here.
You will see an army belonging to another Necropolis.
If you see any opponents, eliminate them.
The enemy’s base in the central-south part of the map.
It isNinurta Sin(M3/35).
The castle is very well developed (level 4) and, besides fortifications, has many upgraded units.
But it is not a problem forSandroand you will take the last stronghold belonging to a computer.
Now you’ve got the option to feel calm.
Explore the whole map.
But remember, you have to find theSouls Well.
It is located on the west bank of the island (M1/11,M3/46).
It is protected by a group ofPhoenixesaccompanied byEarth Elementals.
Defeat the guards and head to theSouls Well.Sandroknows he is very close.
