Someone previosuly said that they were having trouble with ghosts. Pretend that the old saying "Playing with fire" is in effect for ghosts. :tomato: If your using them to take over a castle, watch their numbers. If you ever have to many, stash them in a castle.

Just a hint, if you ever come into combat versus ghosts early on, take them out with shooters ASAP. Definately dont put fodder within their range, if possible. Their movement is 3, so thats a bit difficult.

:sos:

Here are units that should always be killed first, if you have the chance: Ghosts, Demons.
If you use alot of ranged units, kill Dragons, and other flying units first, and the fast units. If you can take a long time, (like using elven archers) where you shoot for 2 turns, run a few steps, then shoot again, then you will be able to do pretty well.

I made it to 12036 the last game i did, where i wasent being very careful. I ran through deserts quite a bit. I only used ghosts once, when taking out a castle. I had 25 at begining, and had 96 at end of combat.

To beat the game, you usually dont need to go to the last continent. If you do, sucks for you. :wallbash:

(In my opinion)

Wow it works nice and easy on Windows XP. Nice. None of this muck difficult to install stuff that you often get with old games. No need for Dos Box or any of that stuff. Just download, extract, and play.

The game itself is nice enough. I just did a dummy run, and its not too difficult to get started. Just find the king, buy some stuff, and off you go. I don't know about beyond that, but I managed to last for an hour or two in my first go, so that's a pretty good start to a game I've never heard of before. Well done.

Yes, it's true it's easy to get into the game quickly. That's a charm most of newer games don't have anymore (you just can't be good at them right off).

The game is already pre-installed (as are most games on Abandonia) and it is WinXP compatable (although learning how to use DOSBox to play games is really just a matter of a few minutes).

Just a tip if you really want to get way ahead in the game, there are four continents. At first avoid fights, rent a ship, explore and get as much treasure as possible (and maps to other continents). Once you get to the fourth continent you should have enough money to recruit a few dragons. If your army consists of flying creatures only (dragons, vampires...) you can also fly over a continent to explore it (by pressing F and F again to land). Also the dragons will be strong enough to defeat most of the armies on the first two continents and with some reinforcement also on the third - and you can capture most castel that way. This makes the game much easier (and it's not a cheat - just a way around the hard part), although the game really isn't that hard to beat, but it's a lot of fun. The biggest problem will be running out of time if you explore the hard way (by horseback instead of flying).

i was browsing thorugh strategies on abandoina and i cant believe that the reviewer gave it only 4..and that terrible public rating. this game deserves its 5 at least from reviewer, in my opinion

Well, if that's the mark it got, who are we to correct it. I'd deffinetley give it a 5, but then again, I didn't review it... Check out the Champion of Raj (that's a game deserving a higher reviewer's mark as well).

seems everybody has his days :P

Hmm.. I see nobody's got this problem:

"Insert your character disk into drive C
and press ENTER... or press ESC to exit"

What to do? oO

This game is amazing, I've had this on my PC since I was about 7 and have always loved it - it's pretty easy though once you know how to do stuff - but I'd say there's a pretty good replay factor, or even just sticking around for a while longer than you need to just so you can defeat those last few castle bosses. :P

In my opinion, HoMM doesn't even come close to touching Kings Bounty. :)

And to add onto my post above - how come some of you are avoiding Saharia? Just fly around there and you'll be fine. :)

I played the Sega Genesis version way back when and I thought it was far superior to either the Playstation version or the PC version - easy controls and cartoony graphics, but they were ok.
