Somehow I always lose on that map.

u/Normal-You171 5d ago

It’s hard, once I played for 12 hours and still lost…

u/Miserable_Skirt_5466 5d ago

My hero died of old age.

No one’s taking that castle!!

u/MardoPardo615 5d ago

Teleport goes brrrrr

u/ProfessionalCold677 5d ago

Not even dimension door would work, because there aren't any empty spaces for the enemy to DD to. A true stalemate

u/MardoPardo615 5d ago

Idk...surely looks like there is exactly 1sq just south of the castle.

Maybe im wrong

u/passatigi 5d ago

Even if so, can't you just plug that hole with a hero? They can't DD directly on top of you, can they?

u/MardoPardo615 5d ago

Yeah that is so.

Cursed map/spawn 💀😭

u/passatigi 5d ago

Yea. Luckily HotA fixed most of such issues. Worst gen errors I've seen were unprotected gaps between zones, which aren't nearly as bad haha.

Build mage guild and hope for dd

Hope real hard, that it shows up 4th level :)

u/MLJ_The_Shield 5d ago

Dimension Door is a 5th level spell.

u/passatigi 5d ago

And Castle doesn't have 5th level, that's the joke

u/MLJ_The_Shield 4d ago

Right. Well there are some on here who haven't logged 14,000 hours playing. Just didn't want the dude to hit end of turn a billion times earning resources thinking DD could show up as a 4th level spell.

I knew when I posted this it'd get downvoted. Such is life.

That guy is pretty annoying.

u/Key_Success7423 5d ago

Castle faction, guild only goes to 4. Even town portal won’t help lol.

u/dood45ctte 5d ago

Skill issue, clearly

u/Miserable_Skirt_5466 5d ago

Covid the map.

u/LordL567 5d ago

Interestingly, this might be winnable. Wait for a high level hero in your tavern who could DD/Fly away from this castle.

5

u/Azathoth_77 5d ago

That will take ages, and meanwhile your opponents will have zounds of troops.

u/gh7g Goblins 4d ago

The ironic thing is that it's winnable (with a whole bunch of ifs - multiple enemies that kill each other's heroes, actually having Fly on the map, etc), but not loseable. You might draw if you can't manage to make a dent in the enemy once you do have DD/Fly, but will never actually see the executioner cutscene.

Especially on King, it would be an absolute pain in the ass though, hope you picked Wood and Ore as starting bonus so you can build a resource silo... Player seems to be only playing on Tower though, so no such concern.

You got the 2020 special

u/ThoughtEmergency8050 5d ago

Looks like game gives you early april fools xP

u/EatBaconDaily 4d ago

Once played a random XL vs an ai that rolled that kind of starting base. Very unsatisfying end to that playthrough

u/PrizeCompetitive1186 5d ago

Install HoTa or VCMI they have improved map generation! :)

u/Suspicious_wtfas 5d ago

Well, shit happens...just like in life :)

u/annoyingkraken 5d ago

Looks like the Huorns are at it again. Nasssty tricksies

u/ProfessionalCold677 5d ago

Not only that, but you also rolled an Eagle Eye specialist 😂

u/Normal-You171 5d ago

Hahaha ye 🤣🤣

u/fly4xy 5d ago

Best map! Wait before teleport and you free. But no one AI can defeat you on this map

u/okmijnmko 4d ago

Did you try gosolo? I did, my laptop was frozen overnight "thinking" until next day it crashed so I didn't lose ;)

u/hungvipbcsok 4d ago

Go out with DD, go back with TP, simple as that.

u/earthxdream 23h ago

Which scenario is this?
