Light sleeper?

[Guitarpunkmasta]

Hello i just finished light sleeper but holy ♥♥♥♥ any troop i threw at the enemy got instantly elimanated i had to use croc to fly over the sword bearer to cheese it is there any tips on how to get better at combat or nah?

I did this on titan using elephants, only just made it in time since it takes a bit to get a big enough army. It's definitely a little over-tuned at the moment, they constantly keep recruiting troops so you've gotta attack with a big force all at once to try and destroy some buildings like the migdol in particular to slow the units recruitment.

Yeah i had to spam elephants and priests and still got bodied

I've tried it twice and both times got practically wiped out on the offensive. Pretty routine defending the base thankfully. Did better on my second try but it was just relentless and my tactics really went out of the window as I resorted to spamming. I'm thinking maybe the teleport can be used as a backdoor method - after all it's there for a reason so it has to play a part..

I've been bashing my head against the wall when I found out you can put the sword bearer and some units in the roc, then use shifting sands to move the rock over to the Sleeping Guardian because I had it conditioned into me that the Osiris Box Piece was protected by an Isis Monument (And we all know Isis prevents enemy god powers from being use anywhere near her monuments.)

Save it all until they get to the last village, you should have enough time. You wont be able to defeat them all, but the elephants should be able to tank enough for the sword bearer to make it to the guardian. There is a bit of luck involved. But dont bother attacking until that last moment, just hold out until then using priests to heal your troops to save resources.

I managed to do this in the end with some no nonsense priest spam. Had a dual queue pumping them out through the temple and town centre and that was more than enough to overpower what the enemy was churning out. Still lost a few units and it wasn't too strategic or tidy but moving quick seemed to help because I did not face half a force as before and the priests were causing relentless havoc. I had the roc on standby but didn't need it in the end as the path was clear.

I won the hardest difficulty without taking the villagers to the TC, this way there is no time limit because Red Army does not appear, and Orange Army does not produce units either, you just tank with heroes and let them regenerate to full after each skirmish, luring a few units at a time and staying out of tower/stronghold range is key, when there are no units the doors can be taken down by juggling heroes aggro from either the tower or the stronghold and the sword bearer can walk free to the guardian (the stronghold/tower alone can not kill them, but drawing aggro is also possible)

I couldn’t do this on titan through normal methods, even with a 40 vill economy, everything upgraded and autoqueueing elephants and priests to max capacity, the priests just can’t take down the hordes of avengers quick enough. So naturally I tried to shifting sands my whole army straight to the guardian, and found out they’d thought of that exploit and the sword bearers stayed home.

However, the good news here is that the orange forces didn’t send their full army over to my raiders at the guardian, only a few avengers/chariots - meaning I still managed to decimate the whole enemy eco by raiding with my army (all heroes, 4 eles, 4 priests, 6 chariots, all fully upgraded). Took out the 2 temples within the walls, then headed northeast (away from the migdol), took out all the enemy’s vills and TC, most of their houses and as many orange monuments as I could find (to stop the aforementioned hordes of avengers).

Worked an absolute treat, enemy still produced troops but far slower, with a lower pop cap, so my main army (which had been autoqueuing during the raid) could finally burst through.

Orange AI is too OP in this mission. First time i succeed at titan difficulty not only they destroyed my main army, they almost managed to kill the GUARDIAN before red army reached it! It's crazy, way too overtuned.

Unless they severely buffed the AI recently, I call bullsh*t on your affirmation. When I did it on Titan, I snuck past orange and the Guardian single-handedly obliterated both orange and red together with no sweat.

I knew i had to take ss but alas it's too late. It wasn't recent. Basically what happened was i got my army across walls and used them as meat shield until sword bearers reached the guardian. For some reason a group of red army's forces took too long before reaching the city, resulting in guardian battling endless hordes of orange AI. By the time remainder of reds reached the city guardian had like 1/4th of health left.

Pure genius. XD
