Ice Stronghold discussion

[Primer]

I dont play domesticar over 18 levels because I can lost many units. These archers with ROF make pain... in frost stronghold you can do more and save most of units.

Now last week I have did new record - 34 lvl. I stuck at level 35. There is a archer and he is not weak. He able oneshot LA or MF... What would you do? This archer move often in forst and I cant kill...

This one is actually pretty easy...

Crack open a beer to celebrate how far you got and wait for Strongholds to reset! Archers in the back are tough on this map at late levels.

Enjoy it while you can. At Mythical levels I am facing 2000 stack archers by level 15.

Replace TPB by T'rut - he very good tank too and most-likely can insta-kill rider by his special crit attack and survive hit from enemy pike at healing villadge.
replace DS by mage
try to redo battle several times, till yours GG kill or really badly damage enemy archer which is main problem here, doing same for FM vs guard will help a lot too.

My plan for this battle (assuming I have all necessary regiments):
- GG kill/badly damage archer
- LA RoF to finish archer and prevent guard/pike at east line to do anything
- FM fly to tower and badly hit nearest guard
- mage hit closer rider or maybe do Nova
- T'rut kill rider already hit by mage

Most likely FM will be badly hit by enemy rider so need to step back and use tree at 2nd round, while rest regiments can take care about 1616 pike and 1231 rider, 1231 pike and 1488 guard still trapped by RoF

At 3rd round - RoF over, so you face all alive enemies. Mage Nova already really powerful to use, GG goblins works well as honeypot (enemy will rather attack goblins if can kill them than your regiments).

Edit:
OOPS, just noticed "But I have weak Trut and planed upgrade later"
Not sure if yours TPB/KG/DG can survive hit from rider + crit from pike
Maybe use GG to launch goblins and pray for insta-kill + crit + 1108 rider attack them. I see no other way to do this battle w/o loosing regiments.

I would use Pikes to pull the top unit out of the wood, then hammer it with your 2 strongest mages. TPB to block the lower unit in the bridge. Archers to shut off the top bridge. Once you have bottle necked the top bridge with fire, move all units out of range of anyone crossing through that route and they should line up one at time at the lower bridge. Keep the fairies by TPB, make sure you don’t throw out the healing tree or put other mages next to TPB. You won’t get a crushing victory but should be able to complete without losing a unit.

Caveat: if they can one shot TPB then the whole plan falls apart.

 

[Smiix]

So here is my way:
Replace the Archer by a Royal Pike and move directly before the Bridge, than do the switch so you sit in the Forest.
Now move your mage to the left Field of the Forest and Attack again.
If your lucky he's done, otherwise his is mostly down - so let him do. It is not seldom that he runs into SM and dies by Counterattack...

Place you TPB into the Forest in the middle and your MF into the left neighbourhood
Your DS run to the right, under the forest in the South, and put a Tree into the forest.

Next Turn the 2k Attack is facing your tank an the Tree brings him down while the MF an SM helping your pike which stays in the woods.

The rest is easy.. pay attantion to your troops, more than 2 Units together triggers enemy specail attack.

I Even tried with to Tanks but this doesn't realy works good, you have to conquer the woods to survive..

Good Luck!

Anyone knows a Solution for this map ?




FM, SM, and GG are Lvl 23, rest is 22 or lower.

In this topic we can exchange strategy for ice stronghold. I have one unliked map and cant solve without lose. Archers and mages in this map are a big problem. Mages can oneshot TPB and archer MF...

What would you do in this situation with mages?

How about this? Same situation but with archer

 

[Val]

Hmm, need a few tries. Can say nothing apriori)

 

[Noob]

I did this map lvl24 and used rider for push guard from forest. Like this picture (Video from Val. Very interesting )


Imam: I did it with archer. Look post number 14

Smiix: I have pass this map a long time ago. As I remember I used GG, MF, DS, TPB, LA. On first I tried kill weakest units or let low life units allive for blocking (rider<pike<guard) and ROF on other side. The enemy mages will move in the forest. Next round you place mages so, that enemy mages can move out forest and place tree. With this moment LA and GG need kill him or deal many damage.

I will soon post here screenshots about best strategy that works good for some maps.

 

[Noob]

Here are my best placement position that works even in high level.

1.

Spoiler

Easiest map. With this position you able kill enemies fast.

2.

Spoiler

If you have guard, deal a damage one enemy unit on north side unitil he have low life (10-30%) but dont kill him. Weak unit deal low damage and with this situation you can save your tank. Besides you avoid slam by guards.

3.

Spoiler

With this you can kill enemy fast

4.

Spoiler

If you place units like this, your enemy will move exact like on next picture.


One rider move on north side. Now east side is safe and you can move your army here. You can place second ROF here too.


If 5vs 3, you can stay here. If ROF gona out you can place DS tree here. Enemy guards will not hit him...

5.

Spoiler

If TPB on bridge, guard cant do a slam!! Even if your ROF gona out, enemy units will not move over second brindge and hit archers!!! Magical placement

6.

Spoiler

With this strategy you can kill enemies fast.


This strategy you use if you meet hard enemy

 

[Noob]

In next time I will post more good solution.

7.

Spoiler

Best placement for this map.


You can move DS on bridge and guard will not use slam


At start you place units like this picture. With this you avoid that any enemies move on north side over bridge

8.

Spoiler

Good postion for this map.

9.

Spoiler

With this position you can easy kill all types of enemies

10.

Spoiler

DS tree can deal damage to many enemies

 

[Imam]

Any idea about this?..LVL 31

 

[Val]

DG in the north village, ugly tree a cell upper, Rof - south-east.
If dogs run first, it will be easy. If slamy bullies run first - you will just retry)

 

[Imam]

It depend what i put in there...when i put shaman tree...slam will come...if i use GG to replace shaman,mounted will come..even with 3 hit if i use gg and mf to hit the mounted he not die...and my double rof at the center ended without no enemy lost,because that freakin horse back away to the village and replace by another oponent...if i use shaman, only archer and DG can hit the slam orc and its not significant to reduce his hp before my rof ended...screwed

 

[Noob]

Look at post 31. If riders or pike come to hit DG, move your mages to tank and deal him damage, but dont kill. Next round move mages away and wait for next attack. Bit by bit you will kill many units.

If guard attack on first, kill him. After that you need luck that no second guard come.

 

[Noob]

I beat my limit and now I on map 53!!! I dont know how to pass map 54. The pike with 4300 life can deal 70% damage to TPB...

Battle lvl54 - S4

 

[Val]

I beat my limit and now I on map 53!!!

 

[Noob]

You think I stopped at 53? No, I going more far! I think, I break new record!!!

Spoiler

I stoped this map with full guard. Each guard need 7-10 MFs....

 

[Val]

waiting for your videos)

 

[Noob]
