Crossroads</h3> Kill the north-eastern enemy leader. -A lot of people used to struggle with this one, but it has been redesigned -so it should be easier. You can try running for it: recall -two castles of troops, mostly level 2 if you can, with several healers. +There are two strategies: either to "run for it", or "kill them all". Which +you choose will probably depend on whether you want to earn lots of gold, +or level up lots of units. + +If you choose to run, recall two turn's worth of troops. Most should be +level 2, but you should recruit one or two units as sacrifical lambs. +Having two healers (who will stay adjacent to each other for mutual healing) +is almost a necessity. Move the units in formation (probably in two packs) along the road. -Do not be tempted to move units into the mountains. -Take out the north-eastern leader, ignoring the orcs to the south. -Remember to rotate wounded units to more sheltered spots, preferably -adjacent to a healer. -This strategy can give a quick result, but not much experience. - -Another way is to take more time. Capture villages to compensate for the loss -of the early finish bonus. (Be careful: some villages may trigger ambushes.) -Send a large force to the south along the road, and take care of that leader. -Then travel to the north-east, perhaps even choosing a route through the hills -to trigger ambushes, picking off enemies to gain experience. -This strategy is difficult and requires lots of units, but can be rewarding -(just be careful not to run out of turns). +Do not be tempted to move units into the mountains. The increased +defence is not worth the risk of triggering ambushes. +Drive your way to the leader in the northwest, kill them, and reap the +early finish bonus. + + +The second strategy is to methodically destroy all enemy units on the map. +Recruit two turns worth of units, and then drive south. Overcome the +southern leader, and recruit more troops in his castle. Move back north, +moving into every town and through the mountains, in order to trigger +ambushes. +This strategy is trickier to pull off, but careful management of your +kills should allow you to level multiple units. +(Just be careful not to run out of turns...)
