Need Help with Towards the Within Necro Camp Act 2

[LostAngel1000]

God DANG ALTON and that STUPID GUARDIN ANGEL!!! Thats my issue... I can beat him but he RAVAGES my troops there NO WAY to clear any the side missions for the extra troops and with not even a single freaking way to reablibly gain troops with, even keeping my loses to only as low as im able till this fight I get beaten down so low I am never due to his ability to have his troops always GA'd and always able to strike me with out me ever getting to hurt those troops shielded enough times to leave me weak as a new born kitten after this fight. worse is there no way to avoid him clear some the side missions THEN fight him and move on....

More detailed description of your problem would be helpfuland, since I can't understand a word besides Guardian Angel which lasts only one turn and works with only one stack... and who is Alton?...

General tip for Necro Campaign Map 2 is - don't lose any units. That's quite easy, hope you are using dark magic (if magic affinity build) alot like life drain, mass vampirism along with resurrecting your troops triggered by hero's soul reaver attack, right? It's really hard to lose on this map...

The problem is he can cast it every single turn on his Spearmen making them unable to be targeted till after he attacks which makes them immuned to Agony and so on. And I have seen it used on more then a single stack by Alton by ending the turn with it on one stack then casting it on his Bowmen which DOES NOT remove the stack from his spearmen basically negating Agony all together.

As for getting to Alton with out losing any troops I can't see how even with Mass Lifedrain and using the Necro faction skill how to never lose a single troop when you can to clear basically all fights up to Alton to be able to collect the resources for the 7 dragon alters which I hear there are 2 more of past him. I am able to lose very small numbers when I am unable to go with out losing at all and always bring back as much as I am able but even with what I thought was a good number with 70 ghouls and 45ish ranged Skellys and 13 Ghosts Alton leaves me almost always with to few troops to clear for the side quests.

I don't see why you using agony on crossbowmen if he always puts GA on them?...
Are you using Wait function in combat or you rushing foward getting your troops decimated?
Trick is: AI is very-very stupid, and it works great especially for Necropolis since AI likes to target one single stack of your army and doesn't spread too much, this way, you can use this stack as bait sustaining it with Life Drain + Necro race ability while your troops are mostly unharmes if you don't throw them to slaughter.
There other tricks about positioning and etc, game has very deep gameplay mechanics. I advice you to find some vids on youtube, maybe you will see where you fail and how to play this properly. Necro campaign is really easiest in this game, you won't be able to beat other campaigns if don't learn now.

Actually every post I have found states while Necro over all is the easier campagine the second act of it is actually counted as one the hardest parts of any of the campagine do to the fact you get no reable source of troops which is my Issue after Anton. I know how to use the Wait and Bait moves, I always move troops into cover its the sheer fact of Attrition that is getting to me as no matter what in certant fights no matter what you do your bound to lose people as the map almost forces you to confont almost all fights in the Necro Act 2 and at some point your gonna lose people.

As for your worthless help with Anton... I wait always till he moves first, always target the Radiant glorys with my Skellys, always try to postion in cover... So on and so on but if you can't explain how I can prevent him from EVERY TURN using GA whichs removes prevents you doing anything to his Spearmen and crossbow men since he seems able to use it one both them using the defend wait tactics that I seen told in Haven vidoes to allow mulitple GAs on the field.

Well, you shouldn't always focus his Radiant, especially within turn 1 when they are in spirit form (taking 50% less damage).

Pretty lame combat but still good result. Anastasia has extended Ghoul movement trait, using it might prove useful, overall reading unit descriptions helps alot. I dunno how else I can help if video won't...
