| These things need to be toned down there is no possible way I can do most of them.Necro army and i have to start right in the middle of them so my archers never get a chance to shoot a single shot.I cannot beat them without my archers |
| Plus they are only offering me 50 gold to do the mission come on man even hunt pay more than that and they arent anywhere near as hard to do.Merc quest have to pay more and drop better stuff.I have completed 2 quest so far I have gotten vertually nothing.I guess I'll have to cheat like everyone else to get elements seeing as how Merc quests are supposed to give them but dont.So If Admin sees my cheating its thier fault for making me do it |
| split your archers... |
| how do you cheat? |
| navimegaman,splitting my achers wouldn't do any good Vampires were all over them from 3 sides before they could even fire.I started right in the middle of the battle map and they were all around me.How can anyone fight against those kinds of odds.There were 10 Lich's (2 stacks of 5 each) 25 vampires (5 stacks of 5 each)about 100+ skeletal archers in two apposing corners,plus around 50+ Zombies.Ther is no way anyone level 6 could have beat them |
From what I could tell, you didn't even make an effort to protect your archers. After they were attacked by the first stack of vampires, you moved them, but not far enough to get away from the second set of vampires. You spent turns attacking the relatively weak skeletal archers with your forest keepers when they could have been better spent helping to protect your archers. Finally, you used your druid stack in a half-hearted attempt as a melee fighter.
By the way, you're exaggerating the size of the enemy. With a little better tactics, you could have won. |
| There is no way in hell i could have won period.I had to try to kill the acrgher or they would have sliced me to pieces.there was no where for my archers to go.I will no do the merc quests as they are not fair,I had no idea what i was going to face.Had i known it was going to be undead i would have turned it down |
| you could have an should have won that, you focused way too much on the skeletal bowmen, they are the weakest unit on the field. next time time just go for the melee units and you will have plenty left to work on the bowmen |
im level 4 and i did the same, i was surrounded by necromancer units, but when i was fighting them there were only 3 liches, 2 wights (called death envoys in this game) about 40+ skeletal archers in two apposing corners (80-90 total), 8 zombies, 15 infected zombies and 9 vampires (or was it 6?)
So i think its a scaled mission or i was just lucky that i had so less enemies.
But i didnt made it anyway :P |
| you were lucky, believe me :) |
lol, look at that one :)

| Just asking , but how do you get elements from the Mercenaries' Guild ? I've been doing them for quite a bit now and I still haven't gotten any . |
Escort / Brigand missions are more difficult for elves, since Elven bowmen in corner tacit everyone relies on no longer works there. It depends on your Keepers' ability to eliminate dangerous targets fast, however if lots of higher tier units like cavaliers, death envoys, cyclops, treefolks, dark witches, giants turn up, the battle's pretty much lost.

you've received a meteorite shard, elements appears randomly, different element appear at higher mercenary guild levels. I suppose one appear in roughly every 5-10 successful quests. |
I had no idea what i was going to face.
just look up on random high lvled and search through the combat log
you'll know the enemies' number |
| I give up on merc quests alltogether,I just tried to do another 1 golem with over 2000 hit points.There is now way an Elf can do the quests |
| Don't give up =) Eventually you'll win or another. Until then, think of it as free faction skill points =P |
| There are still lots of quests a Level 6 elf can do comfortably, the first few Vanguard of wizards, knights, and dark elves. Most of the raids {0}, ranged monsters who have melee penalty, and most of the earlier army quests if you pick your targets in good order. |
| I'll just forget about ever getting an elements as Im not doing the merc quest period.Elves cannot do them so to hell with them |
| i agree with the author, i'm lvl 3 and i just played a merc quest. there were 6 hydras, 11 shrews, 10 rouges, 8 poisoners, 8 bandits and 20 minotur guards. i dont bealive a lvl 5 qould have won that. much less a lvl 3 |
