Walkthrough

Start with listening to the Gnarl in your Tower. After you've done that move to the capital of the Empire. Call some Reds, Browns and Blues.

Follow the only available path and command your Minions to carry the Towerheart. You'll find some pits on your way so use them to call for the support you've chosen before.

You'll get to something similar to a mine. Eliminate all your enemies nearby and go further.

You'll get the first hill with the catapult [1]. It's well defended. Send your red Minions first to eliminate the archers on the right. Then command Blues and Reds to take positions 5-6 meters from the legionnaires. Command the brown Minions to attack the enemy force and take up arms to help them.

If you defeat the first force the second one will come. Eliminate it as you will have done it with the first one. After you've killed all the opponents put the Towerheart at the appointed place.

The catapult will appear. Use it to beat the enemy forces which approaches you. There'll be a lot of them so you will have a big job to do. Destroy the watchtowers at the end.

Once the fight ends, go downhill to get to the clearing which was full of the enemy last time. You'll find the Gargatuan's tent there (I advise you to fight with him on your own so that he won't trample your Minions) and the Spell Catalyst [A].

Pass the bridge and go east. You'll get to the next hillock behind which you'll encounter another opponent - the bomb thrower. Eliminate it and command your minions to take positions on the hill. Try to attract the nearby enemies. The Reds will be able to hurl the fire balls into the enemy force then.

You'll find buildings of the Empire and another enemy force nearby. Kill the centurion (on the left) by using Target spell and your Red Minions.

Once you've killed the centurion, the enemy force escapes. Kill the runaways, destroy the tent and put the Towerheart on the next hill with the catapult [2].

Eliminate all the archers as fast as you can. Then you will notice that the enemy siege towers are coming. Destroy them.

Remember to defeat the infantry which will try to prevent you from getting to the next level. Do it with the use of the catapult.

There'll be the barricade behind the soldiers. Destroy it on your own - it's a trap. You can lose a lot of your Minions if they will be nearby.

There will be the enemy throwers on the left and the right side of the passage. Send one Minion (blue is the best one) to catch one bomb and set it in the middle of the enemy force that stands on your way. Do the same to destroy the barricade on your right. Thanks to that you'll eliminate the throwers of the Empire (to kill some of them you'll need your red Minions to hurl the fire balls into them) and you'll get the artefact [B].

The further way leads through the clearing you've already shelled with the catapult. You'll encounter the enemy force there so I advise you to retreat and use the catapult to shell it. Another hill with the catapult [3] is in the middle of the Empire fort. To get to it go by the buildings from the right ( go on your own). You'll find the stone barricade there. Stand next to it and the catapult will hurl the stone shell into you so the barricade will be destroyed. You have to be fast - the stone has to eliminate the barricade, not the Overlord!

Once the way is clear, command the Minions to enter the just opened passage. You'll find some bombs there. Tell your Minion to take one of them and put it next to the door which separates you from the centre of the fort.

When the door are open get inside with your Minions. The force that is inside will get into panic so it will be easy to eliminate it. If enemy soldiers oppose you, command Browns and some Reds and Blues to attack them.

Put the Towerheart in the middle of the fort. Thanks to that another catapult will appear. Use it to open the gate. The Towerheart will be charged automatically then and all you will have to do is to fire the shell.

After you've opened the gate a lot if enemy forces will get out of the town. Eliminate the towers and the archers who stand there at first. You have the explosive shells now do the fight should be quite easy and pleasant. After you've killed the archers, shell the infantry that is approaching heading for the fort.

Once you've beaten the infantry head for the gate of the town. You'll encounter Marius on your way. This guy will talk for a while and disappear as usually. He will leave two Gargantuans this time. I advise you to return to the fort and eliminate them with use of the catapult . If they will be following you, pull them into the fort. Thanks to that you will be able to heal yourself continuously and your mana level will be restocked. After you've finished the battle get to the town [P1].
