After browsing around on the web I was quite surprised to see that no guides were present for this russian made gem, even though people seemed to want one. In light of this I decided to take a shot at it myself, and perhaps in the doing, raising interest for the game as well. This is my first FAQ, so bare with me. The designers/translators seem to be a bit indecisive when it comes to spell the word "armor" in the various descriptions, but at least it is spelled consistent. As a rule the headings are spelled "Armour" and in the text it is "Armor". I say potatoe and you say... o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | ..:: Table of Contents ::.. | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Version History .........................

His numerous victories have earned him the reputation of a great commander. Eventually Pfeil's army was hired on a long-term basis by the Trade Council of Sylent. But the neighboring kingdoms did not rush to attack the free town, and merchants felt really bad about paying the money to maintain the mercenaries. Pfeil's army was sent to Derenhalle. King Victor pays gold for tranquility of his southern boarders. 1.

They have poor armor, poor weapons, and they are poor warriors, too. Peasants are often sacrificed in big battles, when they're used to block massive assaults. But their life in peacetime is even harder so peasants often the army willingly. Long years of working in a field can bring several coins, while in a war such sum may come within months - if such a poor warrior is lucky enough to survive that long. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Forest Ambushers, Highlander Level 2: Force March, Swamp Foxes Level 3: Storm Troops, Ford Seekers Level 4: Segmented Movement Level 5: Peoples Rage Possible Upgrades: All foot units + Horse Yeomen and Hobilars Militia [MILTA] ------- Strength... 15 Defence.... 10 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 120 Melee...... 7 Sellback... 60 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Start of human campaign Description: A peasant is very lucky if he is recruited into a militia detachment by his lord. Militiamen get food and clothes, and there is even the chance that they'll earn a few coins. In peacetime, the militia is used to suppress frequent peasant riots, while in wartime, these detachments form the core of the infantry. One would never say they are great soldiers, but the of the militia really know how to survive in a difficult fight. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Shooting Protection, Highlander Level 2: Hard Drill, Derenhalle Blades Level 3: Force March, Ford Seekers Level 4: Famous, Attack Leaders Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: Swordsmen, Spearmen, Halberdiers, Royal Guards, Foot knights, Yeomen Halberdiers [HLBRS] ----------- Strength... 15 Defence.... 12 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 210 Melee...... 10 Sellback... 105 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue Description: Mercenary halberdiers have always been the best of the best. They have fought in many battles, are disciplined, and have a strong understanding of battle tactics. Their clothes are all a similar color, emphasizing the cohesion of their units. Their service come at a price, but the power of their attack is worth the money spent. Furthermore, no other infantrymen can provide better protection against cavalry. Default Perks: Cavalry Protection, Armour Piercing (Melee) Perks: Level 1: Defensive Tactics, Shooting Protection, Close Order Formation Level 2: Hard Drill, Mail Armour Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops Level 4: Attack Leaders Level 5: Heavy Halberds Possible Upgrades: Royal Guards Swordsmen [SWRDM] --------- Strength... 15 Defence.... 12 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 200 Melee...... 12 Sellback... 100 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue Description: Most swordsmen are wandering mercenaries, though some lords employ them to protect their family castles. Swordsmen are well-trained professionals excellent at handling a shield and a sword, and familiar with infantry tactics. Few can rival their efficiency and hardness. Default Perks: City Fighters Perks: Level 1: Mail Armour, Shooting Protection, Derenhalle Blades Level 2: Hard Drill, Highlander Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Full Plate Armour Possible Upgrades: Foot Knights Spearmen [SPRMN] -------- Strength... 15 Defence.... 11 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 205 Melee...... 10 Sellback... 102 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue Description: Spearmen are chosen from among the most nimble militiamen. They are equipped with spears, shields, and leather armor. Their armor is not the strongest, but it affords some protection in battles. Due to the lightness of their armor, spearmen can travel fast to where is most needed, and can swiftly through places where others may get stuck. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Highlander, Shooting Protection, Forest Ambushers Level 2: Hard Drill, Swamp Foxes Level 3: Force March, Ford Seekers Level 4: Segmented Movement Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: Yeomen Foot Knights [FTKNI] ------------ Strength... 15 Defence.... 13 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 330 Melee...... 14 Sellback... 165 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse Description: Often, swordsmen are knighted as a reward for their deeds in battle. The ones who do not receive land or war horses become foot knights. These professional infantrymen are used to fighting on the ground, and do not need horses. Tough shields and good armor make foot knights practically invincible. Wherever a detachment of these warriors appears, the enemy will face a difficult battle. Default Perks: Hard Target, City Fighters, Defensive Stance Perks: Level 1: Mail Armour, Shooting Protection, Derenhalle Blades Level 2: Hard Drill, Highlander Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Full Plate Armour Possible Upgrades: None Royal Guards [RGUAR] ------------ Strength... 15 Defence.... 14 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 310 Melee...... 12 Sellback... 155 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse Description: Only experienced mercenaries, who have fought in many battles, can become of the royal guard. They have earned fortunes for their services, which explains why they have the best clothes and uniforms, and their battle-axes are distinguishable for their expert workmanship. Commanders turn a blind eye to these excesses because Royal Guards are the most efficient defence against anyone foolish enough to attack their bristling ranks. Default Perks: Cavalry Protection, Armour Piercing (Melee), Defence Mainstay Perks: Level 1: Defensive Tactics, Shooting Protection, Close Order Formation Level 2: Hard Drill, Mail Armour Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops Level 4: Attack Leaders Level 5: Heavy Halberds Possible Upgrades: None Yeomen [YEMEN] ------ Strength... 15 Defence.... 13 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 345 Melee...... 12 Sellback... 172 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse Description: Becoming a yeoman is the best thing a peasant can hope for when he s his lord's army. Armed with light spears, axes and short swords, protected by shields and leather armor, and capable of moving quickly on any terrain, yeomen represent a serious threat to any enemy. In peaceful times this force can be used to train militia. Default Perks: Invisible Stance Perks: Level 1: Highlander, Shooting Protection, Forest Ambushers Level 2: Hard Drill, Swamp Foxes Level 3: Force March, Ford Seekers Level 4: Segmented Movement Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: None Bowmen [BWMEN] ------ Strength... 10 Defence.... 6 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 125 Melee...... 4 Missile.... 5 (Range 2) Sellback... 62 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Start of human campaign Description: Archers are needed in any war. Peasants know that well. That's why farsighted fathers teach their sons not only to work in a field, but also archery. Who knows, during a war a son might make enough money to feed his whole family. And when there is no war, there's always prey in the lord's forest. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Bodkin Arrows Level 2: Ralin Boots, Hills Archers Level 3: Eagle Eye, Merry Men Level 4: Wooden Stakes Level 5: Elven Bowstrings Possible Upgrades: Crossbowmen, Yeomen Archers, Arbalesters, Royal Archers Crossbowmen [CBWMN] ----------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 10 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 220 Melee...... 5 Missile.... 7 (Range 2) Sellback... 110 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue Description: Crossbowmen is a relative new weapon, but it has already become quite popular among mercenaries. However, only the richest can afford to buy one. Crossbowman units present quite a spectacle to the enemy. Every fighter tries to emphasize his wealth and outdo his fellow warriors by the finery of his dress. Commanders usually turn a blind eye to their presumptuous behavior and lack of discipline, because of their effectiveness in battle. A volley of crossbow bolts can knock down even the most heavily armoured regiment of knights. Default Perks: Armour Piercing (Missiles) Perks: Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Steel Bolts Level 2: Slayer, Hills Archers Level 3: Crippling Shot, Siege Shooters Level 4: Eagle Eye Level 5: Heavy Crossbow Possible Upgrades: Arbalesters Yeomen Archers [YARCH] -------------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 7 Move....... 3 (All Terrain) Price...... 230 Melee...... 5 Missile.... 8 (Range 2) Sellback... 115 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue Description: These warriors are much more disciplined and highly-trained than ordinary peasant archers. Loyal to their lord and hardened by battle experience, yeomen archers are indeed very dangerous. In melee combat, they use axes and clubs, but they do much more harm to the enemy with their longbows, accurately shooting arrows 300 paces. Default Perks: Expert Huntsmen Perks: Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Bodkin Arrows Level 2: Ralin Boots, Hills Archers Level 3: Eagle Eye, Merry Men Level 4: Wooden Stakes Level 5: Elven Bowstrings Possible Upgrades: Royal Archers Royal Archers [RARCH] ------------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 3 (All Terrain) Price...... 340 Melee...... 6 Missile.... 10 (Range 2) Sellback... 170 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Generals of Leranse Description: Becoming an archer in the royal guard is the ultimate goal of any archer, but few will ever attain this position. Once a year, archery tournaments are held at large midsummer fairs, and the winner are offered a place in the regiment of these elite warriors. Others marvel at the size of their salaries, their luxurious uniforms and outfits. But mainly, it's the accuracy of their bows that sets them apart from the other bowmen. Default Perks: Expert Huntsmen, Multiple Perks: Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Bodkin Arrows Level 2: Ralin Boots, Hills Archers Level 3: Eagle Eye, Merry Men Level 4: Wooden Stakes Level 5: Elven Bowstrings Possible Upgrades: None Arbalesters [ARBRS] ----------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 12 Move....... 3 (Foot) Price...... 330 Melee...... 6 Missile.... 9 (Range 2) Sellback... 165 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Generals of Leranse Description: These mercenaries are the true elite of crossbowmen. Their skill level is similar to other crossbowmen, but their equipment is far superior. Armorers are paid well to employ the most excellent steel for their armor and crossbows. These warriors generally demand substantial salaries for their services. Default Perks: Armour Piercing (Missiles), City Fighters Perks: Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Steel Bolts Level 2: Slayer, Hills Archers Level 3: Crippling Shot, Siege Shooters Level 4: Eagle Eye Level 5: Heavy Crossbow Possible Upgrades: None Scouts [SCOTS] ------ Strength... 10 Defence.... 8 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 190 Melee...... 4 Skirmish... 7 Sellback... 95 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Start of human campaign Description: Many peasants roam in their lord's forests at night carrying bows and spears, in the hope that they may be able to kill something to eat. The punishment for poaching is death, but if a hunter gets caught, a timely war may save him from the gallows pole. Poachers make the best scouts. Why not allow them to pay for their crimes by providing the lord with valuable but dangerous service? Default Perks: Segmented Movement Perks: Level 1: Forest Like Home, Poisoned Attack, Firestarters Level 2: Eagle Eye, Brigandine Armour Level 3: Swamp Foxes, Ford Seekers Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: Rangers, Horse Yeomen, Elite Rangers, Hobilars Rangers [RNGRS] ------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 280 Melee...... 5 Skirmish... 8 Sellback... 95 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Back to Derenhalle Description: These warriors have forgotten that they were once common poachers. They've long since redeemed themselves with their glorious deeds an the battlefield. To relegate warriors with such incredible skill and training to simple field work would be a thoughtless waste. They are no longer common scouts, they are rangers. They can live alone in the woods for months, they move as silently as wild animals, and they are highly skilled with throwing spears and daggers. Default Perks: Concealment, Harassers, Segmented Movement Perks: Level 1: Forest Like Home, Poisoned Attack, Firestarters Level 2: Eagle Eye, Brigandine Armour Level 3: Swamp Foxes, Ford Seekers Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: Elite Rangers Elite Rangers [ERNGR] ------------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 10 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 390 Melee...... 6 Skirmish... 10 Sellback... 195 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Generals of Leranse Description: Elite. The best of the best. These warriors have survived hundreds of battles, and have devoted their lives to mastering the art of silently killing the enemy. Even an elf needs all his skill to see these warriors in a forest. And he also needs all his luck to survive their attack. Default Perks: Concealment, Harassers, Segmented Movement, Pathfinder Perks: Level 1: Forest Like Home, Poisoned Attack, Firestarters Level 2: Eagle Eye, Brigandine Armour Level 3: Swamp Foxes, Ford Seekers Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: None Horse Yeomen [HYEOM] ------------ Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 5 (Mounted) Price...... 285 Melee...... 6 Skirmish... 9 Sellback... 142 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Back to Derenhalle Description: Some scouts are given the honor of becoming horsemen. Their duty include escorting the landlord on the hunt and catching runaway peasants. In wartime, horse yeomen are engaged in reconnaissance and carrying out raids behind enemy lines. For this purpose, they are equipped with light throwing spears and protected by leather armor. Of course, these cavalrymen cannot rival professional warriors, but they may cause a lot of trouble for baggage trains and light infantry. Default Perks: Segmented Movement, Shooting Protection: Fast Riding Perks: Level 1: Evaders, Poisoned Attack, Firestarters Level 2: Eagle Eye, Brigandine Armour Level 3: Trail Seekers, Ford Seekers Level 4: Defensive Stance (Skirmish) Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: Hobilars Hobilars [HBLRS] -------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 11 Move....... 5 (Mounted) Price...... 395 Melee...... 7 Skirmish... 11 Sellback... 197 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Generals of Leranse Description: Experienced horse yeomen must serve in hobilar ranks, together with mercenaries. It is unclear who knows more about the art of war, but such mixed units work well in combat. Javelins with long, sharp tips, reinforced leather armor, good swords and fast horses make these light horsemen a rather troublesome enemy. Default Perks: Segmented Movement, Shooting Protection: Fast Riding, Restless Raiders Perks: Level 1: Evaders, Poisoned Attack, Firestarters Level 2: Eagle Eye, Brigandine Armour Level 3: Trail Seekers, Ford Seekers Level 4: Defensive Stance (Skirmish) Level 5: Light Equipment Possible Upgrades: Tamed Eagle [TMEAG] ----------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 7 Move....... 6 (Flight) Price...... 230 Air Melee.. 6 Sellback... 115 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue Description: These powerful birds have attracted the attention of people from time immemorial. Humans have since learned to tame the eagles living in the mountains of Leranse and turn them into perfect soldiers. Air hunters offer huge advantages to the armies they serve. Aside from having a bird's eye view of targets unavailable to land observers, eagles can fight both on earth and in the air using their beaks and claws. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Sky Dancer, Shadow of a Vulture, Hunter Instincts Level 2: Shooting Protection: High Altitude, Segmented Movement Level 3: Iron Feathers, Light Wings Level 4: Eagle Eye Level 5: Flying Death Possible Upgrades: War Eagle, Eagle Rider War Eagle [WEAGL] --------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 6 (Flight) Price...... 330 Air Melee.. 9 Sellback... 165 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse Description: War eagles were initially bred from wild birds for hunting and to entertain the nobility back in the times of the old empire. New rulers now appreciate their strength in battle. Their mighty beaks and long claws can tear any enemy to pieces in a few moments. The only weakness of these feathered hunters is that they're vulnerable to shooters. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Sky Dancer, Shadow of a Vulture, Hunter Instincts Level 2: Shooting Protection: High Altitude, Segmented Movement Level 3: Iron Feathers, Light Wings Level 4: Eagle Eye Level 5: Flying Death Possible Upgrades: None Eagle Rider [EGLRI] ----------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 8 Move....... 5 (Flight) Price...... 310 Melee...... 4 Bombardment 9 Sellback... 155 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse Description: Certain young eagles impress the royal falconers with their size. Such nestlings are taught to wear harnesses straight away, and usually, once they've grown up, they are strong enough to lift a rider with a load of stones or bombs into the air. The warriors who fly on the backs of these giant birds and throw deadly rounds down with precision on their enemies call themselves eagle riders. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Sky Dancer, Shadow of a Vulture, Skilled Bomber Level 2: Shooting Protection: High Altitude, Rational Payload Level 3: Armour Plates, Flame Ammo Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Stealth Bomber Possible Upgrades: None Ballista [BLIST] -------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 5 Move....... 3 (Wheeled) Price...... 260 Melee...... 3 Bolt....... 9 (Range 3) Sellback... 130 Sight...... 1 Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue Description: They say that a spear launched by a ballista can kill an entire detachment. The stories about the might of these war machines may be slightly exaggerated, but their effectiveness has been proven time and time again in battle. A ballista is capable of sending its shells an enormous distance. The only serious drawback of this war machine is its vulnerability once the enemy draws near.

The younger sons of rich and honorable families get nothing except their title and the right to wear the coat of arms. They can never expect money or hereditary land.

It seems as though armor would suit him better then the gown of a rector. Long ago the master was a sergeant of the guards, and one has to wonder who was more frightened of him, his enemies or the recruits placed under his command. Brennok's fate changed drastically when he was accused of practicing black magic. Naturally, the inquisitor were furious when his shackles fell to the ground on their own. The former Sergeant gradually learned to accept his gift for magic, and after many years of roaming, he settled down in the free town of Sylent, where he founded a mage academy.

He is accustomed to ruling from the saddle, not the throne. During his younger years, Victor survived dozens of battles with the orcs who continually attacked his land.

Dressed in old, worn-out leather armor, and armed with crude spears, these goblins follow the orc hordes wherever they venture. Dozens of skilled warriors will easily defeat an equal amount of robbers, but the teared armor of those who underestimate these small warriors may be added to the robbers' collection.

They are not just simple looters or robbers, but true masters of quick fighting, a nightmare haunting the forests and swamps they inhabit. They have armor, helmets, shields and iron weapons, which they took from the enemy bodies they left in huge numbers on the battlefield. The victims are numerous in any fight involving goblin killers.

Crashers kill everyone they can run down, and run from anyone they can't kill. It is said, that crashers rarely run away. Even orcs prefer not to mess with these goblins. It is far too dangerous to try to take their weapons and armor.

Armed only with crude wooden or bone clubs, clothed in leather jackets, they are dangerous because of their great number. There are so many of them that their clans don't even bother to count the victims after a battle. There always will be another mob as a replacement.

They are the ones who have survived the savage selection process of battle after battle. Hardened by endless fights with their fellow orcs, armed with metal weapons and shields, stabzas are the core might of orc hordes. No man can hope to kill an orc stabza with ease, because these orcs are larger and stronger than any human warrior.

They are better protected and armed, and by far more dangerous than most fighters in the horde. Notable strength and unrivaled discipline (for orcs) enable battle orcs to fight even foot knights, and their durable armor saves them from bowmen.

You cannot miss these orcs among the ranks of a horde. Incredibly tall, dressed in the best armor with the heaviest swords and axes, they are easily distinguishable from afar.

Once a year they choose the best young orcs, and on Magdar night they make them drink this concoction. Surviving orcs become berserks. They become mad: voices and visions urge them to kill, tear and trample. Attacks by these orcs are violent and horrible. Berserks simply wipe out enemies who engage them in combat.

Frequent use of concoctions has taught them to fall into a violent rage without any potions. Each bad mad is larger and faster than a common berserk and can hold a two-hand stabza with one hand. A single unit of these fighters can litter the entire battlefield with dead bodies. Default Perks: Impetuous, Cause Fear, Slayer Perks: Level 1: Commanding Eminence, Armour Piercing (Melee), Fine Stabza Level 2: Claustrophobia, Horse Eaters Level 3: Wild Temper, Force March Level 4: Frenzied Regeneration Level 5: Dirty Tricks Possible Upgrades: None Orcish Riders [ORCRI] ------------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 11 Move....... 4 (Mounted) Price...... 280 Melee...... 11 Charge..... 10 Sellback... 140 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Fall of Irand Description: Wild animals can serve for more than just food! In ancient times, orcs that lived in forests decided their strongest warriors should battle on bulls' backs. Descendants of those old families preserved the tradition and now form the core of the bull cavalry. Bulls have always been the main weapon of these riders. Mighty animals are not afraid of hot battles, and can penetrate the most durable armor with one strike of their horns.

The blood lust of these animals worries even the goblins that tend to them. One wrong move and they'll end up dead! These bulls are always ready to rush into battle to skewer enemies with their horns and trample whoever stands in their way- Their eyes are bloodshot and their hoarse breathing resembles the roar of their riders.

Goblins realize that it is not they who dominate the rider-hyena relation. Anyway, together these fierce animals and their riders serve well as light cavalry on the plains and in the forests.

Experienced animals chase down and finish off weakened enemy units and engage in quick devastating raids behind enemy lines. The riders get rich cleaning up after their steeds, as hyenas are interested in neither weapons nor armor.

Also, the mages found that trolls prefer to live in mountains, and aren't very friendly creatures. Orcs are not concerned about whether or not trolls have an intellect. They use trolls for their great strength and vitality. In a battle, wild trolls don't carry weapons; they simply crush their enemies with their rock-hard fists.

They are much more quicker than their fellows in finding what can be stolen, running away, and never giving others a chance to relive them of their stolen loot. They have mastered the art of running so that not even thick forests and swamps slow them down. Their obvious talent was awarded by service in the Horde vanguard as scouts. Default Perks: Lazy, Segmented Movement Perks: Level 1: Quiky Mold, Poisoned Attack, Bark Eaters Level 2: Eagle Eye, Enthusiastic Retreat Level 3: Froggy, Lil Boss Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Determined Killers Possible Upgrades: Goblin Sneakers, Goblin Stalkers, Mounted Goblins, Goblin Raiders Goblin Sneakers [GBLSN] --------------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 8 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 265 Melee...... 5 Skirmish... 9 Sellback... 132 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Fall of Irand Description: These goblins inherited stealthy footsteps and the ability to vanish into thin air from their ancestors. Sneakers originate from tribes that remained independent from orcs longer than others, hiding in forests, skillfully disguising their dwelling and covering up their tracks. Those times are long gone, but the Sneakers have retained their skulls. They are armed only with slings and bone knives, but their presence alone is enough to make the enemy nervous.

It is said they are able to enter into guarded castles unnoticed! And the swords of these demonic creatures can kill enemies with poison at a distance. Stalkers would be surprised to hear what horrible rumors get spread because of their habit of quietly robbing hen-houses in the nearest village. But a commander that takes those stories as odd fables risk dying in his sleep at the hands of stalkers. Default Perks: Lazy, Brave Hiding, Harassers, Segmented Movement, Pathfinder Perks: Level 1: Quiky Mold, Poisoned Attack, Bark Eaters Level 2: Eagle Eye, Enthusiastic Retreat Level 3: Froggy, Lil Boss Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Determined Killers Possible Upgrades: None Goblin Archers [GBLAR] -------------- Strength... 15 Defence.... 5 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 160 Melee...... 4 Missile.... 5 (Range 2) Sellback... 80 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Conquest of Goblins Description: Goblins who have only recently learned how to handle a bow call themselves archers. They are so proud of their new role, they hardly bother to aim their arrows at their enemies. The sheer number of these archers compensates for their lack of skill, and some arrows still find their targets. Default Perks: Lazy, Bark Eaters Perks: Level 1: Quiky Mold, Counter Attack (Missile), Straight Arrows Level 2: Poisoned Arrows, Hills Archers Level 3: Invisible Stance, Lil Boss Level 4: Eagle Eye Level 5: Bone Bows Possible Upgrades: Goblin Sharp-Eyes Goblin Sharp-Eyes [GBLSE] ----------------- Strength... 15 Defence.... 6 Move....... 4 (All Terrain) Price...... 270 Melee...... 5 Missile.... 8 (Range 2) Sellback... 135 Sight...... 2 Campaign availability: Land of Knights Description: Goblins can learn to aim, and are even smart enough to make allowances for the wind. The orc' educational methods are surprisingly efficient. They know that after a couple of swift kicks to their ribs, goblins will begin to master anything a lot more quickly. The same applies to accurate shooting. These goblins bowmen have become real marksmen, and their arrows are unerring. Well, almost unerring. Default Perks: Lazy, Bark Eaters, Multiple Perks: Level 1: Quiky Mold, Counter Attack (Missile), Straight Arrows Level 2: Poisoned Arrows, Hills Archers Level 3: Invisible Stance, Lil Boss Level 4: Eagle Eye Level 5: Bone Bows Possible Upgrades: None Pteranodon Rider [PTRID] ---------------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 6 (Flight) Price...... 340 Air Melee.. 10 Sellback... 170 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: War in The Air Description: Taming preranodons is a dangerous business. Only the most daring goblins are up to the task. These goblins have learned to hop into the saddle while avoiding tail lashes, and to hold their legs up in flight in case the animal suddenly turns his head. Pteranodons need special training, or else they will eat their riders. The hight and speed of their flight, combined with their predator's rage makes it possible to use pteranodons both for scouting and for hunting enemies from the air. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Sky Dancer, Shadow of a Vulture, Hunter Instincts Level 2: Shooting Protection: High Altitude, Segmented Movement Level 3: Poison Tail, Lasher Level 4: Looking Glazz Level 5: Flying Death Possible Upgrades: None Goblin Zeppelina [GBLZP] ---------------- Strength... 10 Defence.... 7 Move....... 5 (Flight) Price...... 240 Melee...... 4 Bombardment 8 Sellback... 120 Sight...... 3 Campaign availability: Fall of Irand Description: Amazingly, goblins are capable of mighty enterprises, even if they are generally lazy creatures. They have figured out how to inflate a leather balloon with swamp gas, attach a basket with paddles and a rudder, and fly. They soon realized they could throw stones and bombs down on their enemies from a great height! Their ingenuity is astonishing, however they are often cursed for being so clever. Default Perks: None Perks: Level 1: Metal Pod, Shadow of a Vulture, Skilled Bomber Level 2: Shooting Protection: High Altitude, Propeller Level 3: Balloon Armour, Flame Ammo Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Extra Payload Possible Upgrades: None Spear Hurler [SPHUR] ------------ Strength... 10 Defence.... 5 Move....... 3 (Wheeled) Price...... 230 Melee...... 3 Bolt....... 9 (Range 3) Sellback... 115 Sight...... 1 Campaign availability: Fall of Irand Description: A big spear or just a log - it makes no difference to goblins what they use to load their war machine. It remains a mystery how the goblins manage to assemble such a powerful machine and how the machine remains intact after unleashing its ammunition with such devastating force. The Spear Hurler throws one missile after another at the rows of enemies. However, if the enemy attacks, the Hurler will likely not even survive a couple of good blows in close combat. Default Perks: Bad Wheels, Armour Piercing (Bolt) Perks: Level 1: Big Shields, Forward Observer, Target Practice (Bolt) Level 2: Long Range Thrower, Round Wheels Level 3: Camouflage, Force March Level 4: Cause Fear Level 5: Counter Attack (Bolt) Possible Upgrades: None Stone Tosser [STNTO] ------------ Strength... 10 Defence.... 5 Move....... 3 (Wheeled) Price...... 250 Melee...... 3 Stone...... 10 (Range 3) Sellback... 175 Sight...... 1 Campaign availability: Land Of Knights Description: The tosser can shell the enemy from distant approaches, breach castle walls and defeat whole units of knights. The slowness of the catapult and its weakness in a melee will not stop orcs from using such a powerful weapon, especially since it's only goblins who end up manning the tosser.

Their super-thick skulls are a better defence against any blow than the most durable helmet. Obtainable by: Wild Trolls (level 5), War Trolls (level 5) Pha-lansa [PHALS] --------- Effect: Defence +1 Description: Orc families treasure their stories from the time of Marcus about that terrible weapon of the old empire: the phalanx formation.

Obtainable by: Mads (level 2), Bad Mads (level 2) Almost Round Shields [ROSHI] -------------------- Effect: Defence +1 Description: The advantages of a round shield have been widely known for centuries.

Obtainable by: Orcish Riders (level 3), Mighty Riders (level 3) Beast Temper [BETEM] ------------ Effect: Defence -2 Charge +4 Description: Which animal do hunters fear most of all?

Obtainable by: Orcish Riders (level 5), Mighty Riders (level 5) Hyena Mount [HYMOU] ----------- Effect: Defence +2 and all attacks +2 in forest Description: By nature, hyenas are perfectly built for running through forests.

Obtainable by: Mounted Goblins (level 2), Goblin Raiders (level 2) Soft Paws [SPAWS] --------- Effect: Invisibility Description: Unlike goblins, hyenas are taught from the time they are pups to approach their prey unnoticed. But goblins also realize the advantage of moving slowly. Sliding like noiseless shadows, hyenas and their riders can cross a field within yards of dozens of their enemies without being noticed.

Long ago at the dawn of time trolls used to travel only at night becoming granite rocks during the daytime. But over time, trolls learned to stop fearing the light and so they forgot the secret of Stone Form. Today monsters that can turn their bodies into granite for a short while are very rare.

Obtainable by: Pteranodon Rider (level 3) Lasher [LASHR] ------ Effect: Move points +1 Description: A common lash is a wonderful way to make a pteranodon fly faster.

Obtainable by: Pteranodon Rider (level 3) Looking Glazz [LOGLZ] ------------- Effect: Move points +1 Description: Not every goblin will risk tangling with looking glaszz magic.

Found: Gold victory in scenario Desperate Drive o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | ..:: States ::.. [STTES] | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o A state temporarily modifies a units' attributes and are applied by attacks and spells. Normally a state disappears after one round, but sometimes the unit must rest or recruit for a negative state to let go, which is the case with "Broken", if it was a result of an attack. A unit affected by a state has a slowly rotating half circle around its base on the map view. States appear under the health bar in the unit's characteristics window. Only the first three states will be shown. The excess states will still be applied to the unit, though. It is possible for a unit to have multiple states, and if so they stack. This means that a unit affected by Cold and Crippled gets -4 to its movement points.

[TSNTR] | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Use the mouse scroll wheel instead of pressing the GUI's arrow buttons. Much faster and more intuitive. The FW Map Editor is available here http://www.1ublishing.eu/game/fantasy-wars/s for you keep people wanting to create your own maps. Probably one of the best foot unit is a level 5 peasant upgraded to a Yeomen. The perks Force March, Ford Seekers, Segmented Movement and Peoples Rage together with the Yeomen stats are nothing to sneeze at. Computer controlled enemies does not get new perks when they level up. Sad but true. Segmented movement for Sky Hunters is a must. Attack + retreat and cover a friendly unit, is a great way to let the unit pull double duty. Pre-deployed units in a scenario are sometimes equipped with extra perks, even though their level is 0. These units becomes stronger than a normal purchased unit. Wings of Verison starts with a Level 0 War Eagle with Segmented movement for example. Ballista's are, in my humble opinion, better and more versatile than catapults due to its +1 range which makes it easier and safer to position. ing "Sphere of Cold" between units crossing a river is a great way to speed up travelling through rough terrain. Summoned units can not conquer cities, but they can be created in one. Don't forget to cast magic such as "Force March" for units who cannot attack an enemy that round in order to get that extra experience. This is especially important for the magic s as casting spells is their main way of leveling up. Artifact hunting can be annoying sometimes when a ranged unit is killing the artifact holding enemy. Under these circumstances there seems to be some confusion of who is to receive the artifact and so it is discarded. To prevent this let a melee unit ister the killing blow. If this unit have all its artifact slots occupied then the artifact will be placed in the artifact chest. Artifacts from own units killed in battle are not destroyed, but placed in the artifact chest. Units do not automatically rest at the end of a turn if no action (attack & rest) has been taken, so make sure you go through your unit list before ending your turn. It is considered a very wise move to remove any artifacts from your hexers after the scenario "The Fall of Verson", and perhaps also skipping the perk/spell "Word of Death" for Ash-hoon. You did not see that twist coming, right? Unless of course your Looking Glazz was seriously broken... If a unit is standing near a river hex and want to cross you will get more movement points if you first move into the river, and then cast force march, as opposed to the other way around. The poison perks converts any wounds from an attack to kills. Normally an attack produces wounds + a random number of kills. This means that an attack doing 4 wounds and 1 kill would result in 5 kills for a unit with this perk. This is useful because the attacked unit must recruit to get back to full strength. The "resurrect" spells and artifacts restores a unit on the map to its full strength - much as a recruit action, but without the experience loss. It is not possible to resurrect a unit or hero which has been eliminated from the map. Recruitment lowers the experience of a unit, but will never subtract gained levels. This means that a level 2 unit with 201 experience points, with only 1 hit point left will recruit to full strength, with 200 experience - 1 experience point lost. The experience loss for a level 1 unit with 199 exp is much worse since it can potentially lose 99 exp after recruitment. o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | ..:: Cheats ::.. | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Easier Experience [CEXPR] ----------------- So you think it takes an eternity to get your troops up to their maximum level? This is easily fixed by changing a value in the "levelUp.script" file, which is located in your FW installation directory + \Data\GameData\Scripts\. Change the line local newLevel = math.floor( detachment:GetExperience() / 100 ); to local newLevel = math.floor( detachment:GetExperience() / 50 ); Now a unit will only need 50 experience points instead of a hundred to level up. This means that a normal level 5 unit now can get to level 10, but be aware that the game will crash if you try to do a level up after the unit has reached level 5, since there are no more perks to choose from. Artifact Switching Cost [CARTC] ----------------------- 25 gold to switch an artifact during a scenario seems awfully steep, no? Go to your FW installation directory + \Data\GameData\Scripts\ and open the incorrectly named file "artefcats.script" in Notepad. Change the line local cost = 25; to local cost = 0; Now you can change artifacts back and forth between units for free. Quick-Resting [CQRST] ------------- It is hard keeping pushing forward when your units are badly hurt and need to rest or recruit to gain hit points and remove unwanted states, since the units' turn is forfeited. Here is how to both rest and then move and attack. Go to your FW installation directory + \Data\GameData\Scripts\ and open the file "RestRecruit.script" in Notepad. Change the line unit:ZeroFreeActions(); to --unit:ZeroFreeActions(); Do this change for the two occurrences in this file. Remove Fog-of-War [CRFOW] ----------------- Tired of being ambushed by hidden units? Want to see what the enemy is having in store for you before they know it themselves? Go to your FW installation directory + \Profiles\ and open the file "Settings.xml" in Notepad. Under the -tag add the following section: true The file should now look like this: true ... The map will from now on be free of the fog-of-war and all units are visble to each other. o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | ..:: Credits ::.. | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o A great thanks to DSimpson, Absolute Steve and A I e x for writing some of the best FAQs out there and for inspiring me to take the time to write my own.
