Cities, which belong to the enemy player.
Like always, you will be able to choose from 3 different starting bonuses: Boots of Speed, Adept Logistics or 2,500 gold. The gold is a bad choice, the artifact won't be transferred to the next mission, but your hero will be, so taking an ability is a good idea. To sum it up - take the Adept Logistics.
Your goal is to reach the city of Highcastle (point S1 on the map) with the Statesman's Medal artifact, which one of your heroes, Nimbus, has from the very beginning. Unfortunately, that hero is stuck behind a series of guard posts, and you will have to focus on your other hero and the Castle city. Start off by building the Upg. Archer's Tower. Now recruit all your Marksmen, upgrade any existing Archers, recruit any remaining units and capture the Lumber Mill just below your city. Afterwards, head towards the Ore Mine, located East from your city - in the meantime hire additional hero and transfer his/her army to your primary one. Now go through the garrison (Point G1 on the map) and head North.
By going along the road you will soon arrive at an enemy Necropolis (point W1 on the map). Capture it and continue your journey North, or North-West to be more precise, to reach the second, and last at the same time, enemy city (point W2 on the map). After capturing it and defeating any remaining enemy heroes, you will be able to focus on your main goal - transporting Nimbus to your Castle.
To let the hero pass, you have to visit every Guard Tent. The locations are as follow:
- Red guard - South-Eastern section of the map (Point K1a on the map).
- Blue guard - North-Western section of the map (K2a).
- Green guard - Northern section of the map, West from Nimbus' starting position (point K3a).
After you've visited all three Guards, you only have to transport Nimbus, together with his artifact, to your starting Castle. Remember that up to 7 (+ Nimbus) of your heroes are transferred to the following mission, so you should spend some time leveling your heroes.
