Hi there! The campaign, BW's Room and challenges are difficult and interesting, i especially love challenges. Unfortunately, i still can't complete most of insane levels, and so do many players, i suppose So the questions are: 1. Are challenges such as Rock Valley and Blitzkrieg are even possible on the latest version of the game? 2. Could you please give just a one little tip for each challenge for players having at least a direction of thinking ?) It's still interesting to finish without help, but it seems it will take too much time . Just give a non-direct advices that may give a little clarity. 3. Is it necesarry to have custom troops completing Heavens Fury? Or it it possible to complete Darknesss Before The Dawn with default troops? 4. And the last one ) Where is description of abilities in help section? There where some at previous versions but i havn't seen any after last update.

1. Rock Valley is literally a bit easier then the previous version. As of Blitzkrieg it's still among the most difficult stages which requires a lot of save/load. 2. There's an unofficial channel called 'Ancient Empire Reloaded' in Youtube which has a lot of Challenge stage videos. Although they are from previous version you can still get some idea on how to clear them. 3. The new scenario is currently under balancing and any feedback is welcome. Anyway completing 2nd & 3rd stage with default troops is beyond Master difficulty so not recommended for non-hardcore players. 4. That section has been removed from the help list but you can still click on ability name in unit page to view the details.
Thanks!

Finally completed Rock Valley. That was hard!) I've noticed that undamaged mermaids are dissapearing at Blasted Lands, and wisp transforms to archmage. Bug? I hope you will make new challanges in future. Bwt, 'Ancient Empire Reloaded' Youtube channel containes only Grand Siege and Endless Trial challenges.

Try securing your villages in "Rock Valley" with slimes - you need a stable high income to keep a pressure on the enemy. Also try to lasthit enemies with your commander to recieve more gold with his lvl raising. I agree that Blitzkrieg and Blasted Lands are the hardest ) Still can't pass those two. About Protracted War, Commander says that you are unable to capture any villages of castles, also if you will loose your village you are unable to re-capture it, or the game is over. About Blitzkrieg... I thing it's possible(ToyKnight sais that it needs a lot of save/load) - i was trying a lot and even captured enemy village near right castle once, but unfortunately still away from victory... I suppose it's about distration - i've noticed that it's impossible to face an enemy and beat him in 32 turns. Quite succesfull distraction is possible with ice elem going on water - almost all enemy forces is going to him and your king is able to move freely by other way. Unfortunately, when you are close to enemy castle AI buys a unit and leaves him standing at castle - no idea how to kick him out. Take an advice - don't watch videos completing challenges or use dmg reduction ) It kills all the enthusiasm ) Its real Joy to complete a challenge by yourself

Try securing your villages in "Rock Valley" with slimes - you need a stable high income to keep a pressure on the enemy. I've completed it in 167 turns, a day before i thought it is impossible I agree that Blitzkrieg and Blasted Lands are the hardest ) Still can't pass those two. About Protracted War, Commander says that you are unable to capture any villages of castles, also if you will loose your village you are unable to re-capture it, or the game is over. About Blitzkrieg...

Take an advice - don't watch videos completing challenges or use dmg reduction ) It kills all the enthusiasm ) Its real Joy to complete a challenge by yourself Actually Blasted Lands is not that difficult (according to our test team), since I am not the author of that stage I am not able to tell to too much details. Maybe blackwave have more knowledge about it. As for Blitzkrieg though, like I said you will need a lot of save/load with some nasty tricks as well. According to our test team I am aware of two tricks - Use S/L to attract enemy high value/movement units (like wolfarcher) to enter your damage output zone, then focus your damage to kill it.
- At enemy turn if enemies focus their fire on one of your high value units, then load game, use paladin to increase this unit's HP and next turn enemy will still focus on that unit. (Not 100% sure if you really can do this)
So at the end you can rush down your enemy which will not be that hard. (Actually I do not like this stage. This is one of our earliest challenge stages which is designed by a very skilled PVE player. This stage is okay back at that time, but with AI improvement over time it's becoming a bit too difficult.)

Hello! I have some ideas about challenge balance. How about decreasing "Rock Valley" turn limit from 200 to 180 since last update (bigger dragon dmg). Turn limit really doesn't makes stage more difficult, but a little decrease should force players acting a little faster after getting good defence. About Last Stand - its a good idea to spawn dragons at both south and north-east forts after capturing enemy village or castle. Having leveled units at max capacity lets player to face a single 4 dragon spawn without difficulties, since weak black and red enemy dont participate a lot. The very difficult part of these stages is the beginning, mid game isn't as tough. Protracted War can also be improved granting enemies some reinforcements - for example some troops every 20 turns since turn #20. And for sure, making some turn limit at Endless Trial. I've also noticed that Grand Siege could be boosted in difficulty just a bit - usually a player clears a stage having a lot of units. No comments about Blitzkrieg - this stage assumes player actually "cheating" it, not completing This manipulation with save/load is too much in my opinion Are you going to make new Challenges?) A lot of players love them )

I think i can help you with stage "Blasted Land" I has success complete that map several days ago Step 1 : First recruit 2 soldier to capture 2 village in left and right side. Use Galamar to capture Village in up side of Blue Castle. Your Soldier will demoted into skeleton In Next turn, Move Skeleton to tiles around Galamar, Red team will always attack Galamar with soldier or aqua elemental in next turn. Use skeleton to attack it, make sure that Galamar always last hit to give him 60 xp. Red Team will stop attacking Galamar after Galamar level up 2 times. Make sure for now, you didn't use to much gold, you will very need that later. Step 2 : Green team will try attacking you with Aqua elemental, and he will placed his Commander in mountain at middle. Try to distract Green units, if there are at least 4 units around his commander, recruit a berserker and attack his commander, help it with archer, archmage, or dragon. Make sure that your dragon or berserker will damaged to prevent him from get demoted, and make sure you can kill his Commander in 1 turn to prevent him from running. Step 3 : Try Distract Red units and attack him with ghost or soldier, always keep in mind Galamar do last hit to give him 60xp. If Galamar already leveled up to max level, he will have 6 moblity, move it to place around red castle (range 6 terrain). That make red team move his commander to His Castle and one paladin will follow him. Also, he will recruit one units to protect his red village in leftside of red castle. That will make protection of red village in middle of map, will lower than before. step 4 : Move your commander to attack units who protect red village in left side. That will make red team spend all gold to attack Galamar ( i can sure that Galamar can survive from that attack because he have 35 magic and physical defense and he can get bonus from terrain). Move it to temple in left corner in next turn to prevent it from get killed. After that step, protection in middle village will very low, and attack from green team will lower since his commander get killed. Try to use that chance to capture village in middle. After that step, the game will much more easier ( because you get more 50 income and red team income will decreased by 50) I think you can win by your self after do all of that step ) good luck ! Maybe some screenshot will help you a lot : Alright, that is all, hope this hint will help you in completing that stage
